We did not have to think about anything. It was all taken care of.

Tanzania was wonderful. We usually travel in Europe, but felt like a big adventure. Boy did we have one! We did not have to think about anything. It was all taken care of. We really enjoyed the Asilia camps. All the staff were friendly, fun and helpful. We would highly recommend Brandt Safaris!
