We spoke to a lot of travel companies for our Tanzania/Zanzibar trip of a lifetime with our two older teenagers, but Marc from Brilliant Africa was fantastic. He very quickly picked up what we wanted in terms of the trip and the accommodation style / quality we were looking for. Other companies seemed to provide quotes for their “off the shelf” version, but Marc listened to us and tailored our holiday to our needs and was very responsive. We stayed in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Northern Serengeti. Each of these locations was different, but very special in their own ways. Communication with Brilliant Africa was excellent before we left. All our little queries and questions were answered in a very timely fashion. Prior to our trip we were given details of people on the ground for emergency contacts (not that we needed to use them, but it was great to know they were there!). As soon as we arrived in Tanzania, everything just worked seamlessly. We were collected from the airport on arrival by our guide and driver for the next few days. He was professional, informative, knowledgeable and friendly and a good driver as well! Brilliant Africa arranged our internal light aircraft flight into the Serengeti, and this also worked well, was on time and was a fun experience. We were met at the airstrip in the Serengeti by another driver / guide who was again professional and knowledgeable and very passionate about what he does. We spent another few days here watching the herds gathering for the migration and river crossing and the famous Serengeti sunrise. All the accommodation recommended / chosen was superb and the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff was exceptional. Following seven full on days on safari, we flew to Zanzibar for a few days well earned rest at a fabulous beach resort on the Northwest tip of the island. We would recommend staying in this area because the sea is not affected by the tides like in other parts of the island. It was just what we needed and a great way to round off the holiday. As a family, we loved every minute of our trip and would highly recommend Brilliant Africa and Marc in particular, to anyone considering a trip to East Africa.
