we are back home after a thrilling holiday in Tanzania. Every one especially the little ones were thrilled with the whole experience. Everything went well with no mishaps like illnesses,lost baggage or missed flights. Except for a couple of items – two binoculars- that were misplaced either at Rhoita Valley tented accommodation,or Ehlane Plains or in the vehicles,the little ones did not lose even a crayon, which is a real record!!
Even the animals obliged as you can see from the few photos attached. The Zanzibar ones are yet to come to me from members of the family.
Masai wanderings are very good particularly Amos and Wilson the two drivers. They went out of the way to obtain a stock of Soy Milk for Shanti as the lodges had indicated that none was available on site. We are very impressed with the way Donna is running the show. The book released recently by Donna on the history of Masai Wandering is well put together and very moving to read. Mentioned this to others who were at Elhane Planes at the same time we were there , in particular one family from Seven Oak, coincidently arranged by Gina from S& B. They too were impressed with the book. We are pleased that there are connections between the places we stayed on the mainland of Tanzania and institutions offering help to those in need. Had good long chat with the Doctor couple from Holland owning the Rhotia Valley and the manager from Germany about the way they started the venture and how they provide much needed help to many youngsters.
All lodges and tented accommodations are well run and took every effort to make the stay comfortable and memorable. Endoro Lodge was a wonderful place with it’s own charm so was River Trees Country Inn.
Please convey our sentiments and sincere thanks to all who provided the services to make this trip a very memorable one.
