    My husband and I went on this trip to see the Serengeti in Tanzania, as well as the rich history of Zanzibar. Encounters partners with Nomad Travels for the local connections and we found them to be very professional & well organized. Each step of the way we had excellent guides and decent accommodations. [ The only real exception was for our final night in Dar Es Salaam, where the hotel had run down in its care. That location should definitely be changed for future trips. It was also not in a good part of town where we could leave the premises easily.] Overall, it was an exceptional trip--the wildlife we saw was breathtaking, the Tanzanian people were so kind, and the beaches of Zanzibar sparkled. We definitely would recommend this trip to others.

    A marvelous way to be immersed in the life and culture and experience of being in Morocco. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were always there just as we needed help. The route is well planned, the stops (features and hotels and meals) were all well chosen.
