Unparalleled Wildlife Adventures

Spectacular is the word which best describes my recent trip to Africa with Jane McCormick and Mkuu Safaris. From the moment I showed interest in the trip until walking off the airplane returning home, I was treated with professionalism and joy. Every single question I had prior to going on the trip was answered, which made the daily experience on safari relaxing and filled with anticipation of a daily new adventure. I was well prepared for what I would be experiencing; what clothing to take, preventative medications, money and tips, and everything else necessary for a delightful trip. Do not be shy to ask all your questions.

I traveled alone and soon discovered 11 new friends who were a pleasure to do the safaris with every day along with a friendly roommate. The lodging was varied and outstanding, from luxury hotels to amazing glamping tents while hearing the thrilling noises of the animals in the night. The food at each of these places was gourmet, with the highlight being the delicious soups each evening.

The animal sightings were never a disappointment as each day was a new and exciting wildlife adventure, with so many animals. This trip was not only about the majestic animals; it was about the culture of the African people and sharing their lives, from hunting in the morning, watching smiths create elaborate arrowheads and jewelry, to dancing with the people and helping to build their house. Each of these memories will not be forgotten and were impressed upon my heart.

The journey to get to and from Tanzania was well worth the long hours and layovers. I am so happy to have traveled to Africa with Jane and her people, which included the best drivers and guides who were never in a hurry and always thoughtful. I would very highly recommend going on a safari with Jane. You will have a spectacular trip of a lifetime with amazing adventure stories to tell.
