Tanzania Wildlife Safari: A lifetime experience, thanks to Prachi and the staff at The Tour Basket

We booked two safaris through this company. The first was a 4 day safari to Masai Mara in a 4×4 Land Cruiser; the second was a 1 day safari to Hell’s Gate & Lake Naivasha in a mini van. Both bookings were completed entirely online, although we made phone calls the day before the safari to ensure that there were no issues. We did not book the Hell’s Gate safari until we returned from the Masai Mara trip. The booking staff are quick to respond to emails, professional in providing details of the proposed safari, upfront about extra costs, and helpful in terms of special requests–we had two vegetarians in our group who were anxious about having their needs met. For the first safari George was appointed, who turned out to be excellent. Not only was he great at spotting the animals, including a kill on our second day, but he was professional in respecting the animals. We saw everything except a rhino, (no one seemed to see one as they are rare and elusive), including numerous cheetah and lions. However, we noticed some other companies’ drivers interfering with the animals’ movement. George clearly was opposed to such practices, as were we. George was always early for any meeting, and took steps to ensure our safety and comfort throughout the trip. We met other travellers with The Tour Basket who reported similar experiences with their drivers. The 4×4 is worth the extra cost for game drive experiences.
