So everyone seems to be asking…

What do you think to this itinerary and accommodation?

The assumption seems to be that the jeeps, SUVs and guides are all equal - therefore, the only thing to ask is how comfy is the bed and is the route ok?

You can hire a jeep for $200 a day or $400. Go for the cheapest right?

Let me tell you a story….
I met a group at the gates of the Serengeti, the guide was repairing the jeep and begging for parts. The tourists told me it was the third time they had broken down that day, brake lines leaking and no spare tyres told me everything. The day before they had been in the crater, trust me, you need good brakes.

Another time, at Ngorongoro gate, a jeep raced through the crowd of tourists because its brakes failed - how no one was killed was a miracle - it crashed into a concrete ramp only 10 metres from me.

Later that week we towed 2 jeeps out of the mud because their tyres had no tread at all, just spun and spun until the jeep’s axle was on the dirt.

At Extreme Expedition Tours YOUR SAFETY COMES FIRST - not bed, or food, or hot water or animals. But I can promise you this, hire a company with good jeeps and the camps will be great.

Why do our jeeps cost more per day?

It is serviced not once or twice a year - but after every single safari - and I can promise you - after every safari we have to fix a component that affects your safety.

We buy 3 times more tyres that are three times the price than cheap operators with cheap imported tyres run down to the limit.

We install air-conditioning for longer road transfers. Something we can live without, but nice to have on the way to Tarangire when it’s 40 degrees.

So before you put the safety of your loved ones in the hands of the cheapest operator - think - should you not pay a little bit more?

The funny thing is, they make more profit than we do, because their costs are half.

Looking for the cheapest safari?

Imagine calling 5 restaurants and saying “hey, what’s the cheapest you can do for a meal?”

Good restaurants will say “go somewhere else.”

The cheapest will give you a meal, something you can eat anyway.

Now imagine calling them and saying “I have $20 to spend, what meal can you do?”

My bet is, they’ll give you a free starter, free dessert, glass of wine. They will want your $20.

This is how it works in safari too, go cheap, get the minimum.

Never a truer statement than “you get what you pay for.” That includes the tent, the jeep, the route, the transfers, the bed, the shower, the snacks, the drinks, the wait times at the gate.

This is why we proudly say we are not, will never be, the cheapest - the best value is a different matter.

5:30 pm
We were working our way through the woodlands near Lake Masek, at the turning to our camp we saw an antelope up a tree - no mistake - a leopard kill.

5:45 pm
Arrived at camp to the warmest welcome from the team at Intimate Camp Zebra. Hot towels, cold drink - followed by a couple of cold Kilimanjaro’s.

19:30 pm
Dinner time and we discussed breakfast arrangements, we asked for coffee at 5:00 am, to go find the leopard - “No problem.”

05:30 am
Coffee time, dark, chilly, animals waking up. We found a large female by the lake and followed her back to the tree, guarding her kill.

9:30 am
What a day - and still 4 hours to lunchtime. Back to camp for a cooked breakfast.

A picture speaks a thousand words.

The life of a male lion is an uncertain one, you can go from the king; beautiful, handsome and majestic one day, and in the space of a few hours, disfigured, blind in one eye and scarred beyond recognition.

You’ve lost your pride, your domain, your cubs have been killed - and you have to flee, alone, to die slowly in a far off corner.

Every year you get older, slower, weaker. Until one day, strangers turn up and take everything from you.

It’s tough to be the king!

Day 2, 6:15am.
Graham's coffee arrives on the verandah, still steaming, carried out by JJ. Ann is still asleep — best night's sleep of her life. Thirty yards out, a lioness moves past with her cubs. JJ doesn't move from the rail until they're gone.

Day 4, 1:30pm.
No lunch had been packed. Nobody thought to ask why. Aron tricked them, said he had a hunch and took the long way round a stretch of woodland — and there it was, waiting on a rocky kopje: a full bush lunch, laid out in the shade. A secret, held all morning.

Day 6, 5:35pm.
Last light on the Serengeti. Aron pulls up by the river, lays out drinks and snacks on the blankets, and the group sits together as the sun goes down on it all.

There are more than 10 crossing points along the River Mara. So where should you go?

A lot of people talk about finding the migration, and there are great apps like Safari Atlas Tanzania to do that.

In truth, when you’re in the region, it’s quite hard to hide 2 million animals, the largest land mammal migration on the planet.

The trick is to know where they will cross at, they could be amassed at several crossing points.

This is where an experienced guide comes in and the biggest clue is given by the zebra.

Zebras are smarter than wildebeest, they lead from the front, the wildebeest follow - right up until …..the river.

At the river, before a crossing, zebra will sniff around the water and take a drink, they are looking for crocodile, they remember them. So they do something extraordinary, after leading for hundreds of miles, they step aside and let the wildebeest go first, smart!

By the time the zebra enters the water, they hope the crocodiles have got their meal - not always - but better chances.

So when you see zebra at the edge, then step along the bank to show the wildebeest the way, get your camera ready.

Photographing a lion is not easy.
Finding them is not so hard, but getting the to do anything but sleep or yawn is troublesome.

You need an intensity in their eyes to capture a moment - like this lioness and a zebra - or just to exude calm majesty.

It is difficult to get a shot with some sky unless they are on a kopje, so I like this one of a male, calmly surveying the plains.

Where exactly is your camp?

When you are given a safari offer, how would you know if the accommodation is in the park, outside the park, in the right place at all?

Camps and lodges outside and in a location not ideal for the season are much cheaper, but a poorly chosen camp can mean queuing at the gate each day, long game drives in the morning to find the wildlife, a skeleton crew, restricted food choices.

Safari Atlas Tanzania shows you precise locations of almost every camp and lodge in 7 parks.
