“Não gostei de não ter feito o Safari com a companhia reservada, Perfect Wilderness Tours and Safaris, e ter feito com a chamada Arunga Expeditions & Safaris, sem me ter sido explicada a razão da troca!! O condutor Julius e o cozinheiro Musa são simpáticos, muito atentos e prestativos, de fácil comunicação; um é bastante experiente e conhecedor de animais, o outro cozinha muito bem, a comida estava deliciosa! Vimos bastantes animais mas fizemos muitos mas muitos kilometros, muitas horas de viagem, por vezes sem ver nada, acabando por ser um pouco monótono no Serengeti Park por exemplo. Na cratera de Ngorongoro já isso não aconteceu, área bastante mais pequena…”
