Would recommend. Safaris and tribes were the best.Posted on martinnorris32Verified First class experience from start to finish! Fantastic company we had an excellent experience with Landsmanexperience from the planning stage to the holiday! Gerald was extremely helpful in the planning of our trip offering advise and suggestions to make our trip special! We were celebrating our 45th Wedding Anniversary and he organised a hot air balloon safari on the day with Shine Balloon Safaris who were also excellent and I would highly recommend! Gerald also organised gifts, cards and a cake presented by the hotel with a celebratory dance on the day which have given us such special memories to cherish and we much appreciated the kind gestures to make our day special! On Safari he has an in depth extensive knowledge of the animals and Tanzania itself and he ensured that we saw what we had requested to see and much more! We felt safe at all times and he looks after everything smoothly making sure we had cold drinks, food and adequate breaks! He did not overload us with too much information but enthusiastically shared his knowledge with us and we think the balance was just right! He would often endeavour to find us the best views of the animals often away from the busier areas to enjoy some of the wildlife totally on our own so we achieved some fantastic wildlife close up shots! I would not hesitate to recommend Gerald and his company if you are looking for a special Safari experience with people who genuinely care.
