We just returned from a family vacation (3 kids from 13 to 18yrs old) in Tanzania and was on a 8 night safari with Thomson. It was early in the season so we had two of the three camps we visited mostly to ourselves. Thomson did a fantastic job for our family! The accommodations were great, the chefs, the security, and all the support staff were above expectations. Our tour guide, Leonard, was fantastic. He knew where to go to have the best chance of seeing the animals we were interested in seeing and always accommodated our needs or requests. Thomson was the only tour company that we saw that uses the much better Land Rovers (vs. Land Cruisers) which made the bumpy dirt roads much easier to ride (all 900 miles worth!). Also, several of us have a gluten sensitivity and they were able to accommodate for all meals along our trip - and in some cases, the food was better than home! We've been on a bunch of once-in-a-lifetime vacations like this, and this was one of the best! I highly recommend Thomson Safaris.
