Traveling to Africa with my family and spending my 54th birthday in Tanzania is a gift I will never forget! My mother-in-law was our Group Leader and she had a very pleasant experience working with O.A.T.’s Groups team. We were well advised prior to our trip and were very pleased with how O.A.T. took care of everything!
We were thrilled to hear from our Trip Experience Leader Zack prior to our trip. It was amazing to speak with her before our adventure, and our excitement grew.
We met Zack upon our arrival, and the adventure began! Zack always kept us informed of when and where to meet for meals, briefings, departures, and what to expect each day. We enjoyed a home cooked meal with a local family, took a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti, and visited a local school where my sons played soccer with the kids! We saw Africa’s Big Five on game drives, along with countless other species. Being in the Serengeti during the annual great migration was an unforgettable experience.
The lodging, staff, and drivers were all fantastic and extremely accommodating to our entire family. I’ve heard that if you visit Africa, a part of it sticks with you, and I believe this to be true for myself, and our family. Truly an unforgettable adventure.
