Save the Serengeti

The government of Tanzania has approved a major commercial highway across the Serengeti National Park, linking the Lake area Victoria with eastern Tanzania. The decision was made public and reported in the Tanzanian press.

This ill-conceived project changes all the rules, and would destroy the integrity of a priceless world heritage that has been protected by the people of Tanzania since the birth of their country. It would also cause grave danger to their entire tourist industry.

Hi Ed,

just a quick e-mail to tell you what a fantastic holiday we had with yourselves,everything was super.

Please find attached some photos of us on safari and one of Guy co-piloting us to Zanzibar, what a treat that was for him.
We did the jeep, walking and boat safaris, Guy got to hold the rangers gun at the end of the walking safari. Everything went like clockwork and the staff at Breezes were lovely.

We didn't want to come home, what a great time we all had, thank you for arranging such a perfect holiday for us.

When you get info on Mozambique would you please forward on.

Thanks again Ed.

Once on Zanzibar your bound to pick up a few phrases, but its also good to go armed with a few:

Most people will understand several European languages and maybe speak a few, this could help avoid some confusion.

Do you speak English? = unasema Kiingereza?

To Nick at Pure Zanzibar:

Having recently returned from a 12 day holiday to Zanzibar, Matemwe beach village, we are delighted to report that this proved to be all we had hoped for and so much more!

We have been impressed by the diligent and knowledgeable travel administrator, Nick, at Pure Zanzibar. He advised with care and thought, his hotel / destination suggestion was perfect, 100%. He clearly assessed our needs and requirements, carefully judging our criteria and personalities with patience and genuine interest and consideration.

We could not fault the Hotel and totally support Nicks thoughts about the establishment, the staff being ‘great, really friendly and relaxed’ – ‘no shoes, no news’ motto also helps.

Nick and his colleagues at Pure Zanzibar, provided concise, thorough information and support prior to our departure to Zanzibar. We were grateful for this attention for detail and their level of enthusiasm for the destination was also quite infectious.

The Zan Air representative, Ami, was also excellent and provided us with a warm Zanzibar greeting, setting the tone for what would be an amazing holiday we will never forget. We will most definitely be going back!

An excellent service all round, something that continued throughout the holiday.

With grateful thanks and best wishes

Michel and Jan
