Wrote... Hi Tonino,
As we did not get a chance to speak with you before leaving, nor did we fill out thee "feedback form" I thought I would send you an e-mail.
We had a wonderful trip and I have to say a large part of that was due to Adam who was a great guide/driver - not only was he a really nice guy but his great driving skills, knowledge of the animals and birds and the area itself was to be really praised, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. A lot is of course a matter of luck in what you see but Adam also seemed to know where to go to find them.
The parks/areas we went to and the places we stayed we all fantastic. In hindsight I can now understand the converstions we had prior to going about where the best places were to see the animals at that time of year - Ndutu was definitely it. The fact that the rain came early also changed things a bit it seems including making the area quite wet and boggy. Lake Manyara although it is only a small park seemed to have a lot of animals and was really a great setting, fantastic. The Norongoro Crater is really amazing, and the day we went the weather was really good, that also was an amazing experience.
The Farmhouse Lodge was a great choice and was a nice bit of luxury, it was really beautiful and we had a great night there.
Ndutu camping was a really nice spot - all the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and you certainly have some good "chefs", we were looked after extremely well We saw the plains with hundreds of wilderbeast and zebra etc, so I can imagine what the peak time must be like.
The second camp in Tarangire was also in a great spot and the park is really nice. Obviously the rain early had made a big difference to this park with the high grasses and bridges broken down but it is still a nice park. Once again our second shift of staff were equally good and friendly and the chef fabulous.
We congratulate you on the whole set up it is really great.
Tonino the whole experience was fantastic and we had a wonderful time - 9 days was about right - and we were sorry to leave. We have some amazing photos to sift through. We will certainly recommend you to any one we hear of who is thinking of going there.
Thanks again. Cheers...Sue

Wrote... Hallo, Met deze mail willen wij U bedanken voor de mooie safari's vorige week. Ook een bedankje is op zijn plaats voor het hotel. Het was een goede keuze. BAMAKAMBI is een echte aanrader, en we zijn dan ook gebleven voor de rest van de week. Prijs/kwaliteit is heel goed. En het eten en de service nog beter. Dank U en tot de volgende keer.

Wrote... JMT is an incredible tour company that I would highly recommend. Our driver Adam was great. We took the luxury tented tour. You MUST do the luxury tented tour. Your accomodations will be better than any 4 star hotel or lodge. It is amazing what our cook was able to do out in the bush. Some of the best food we had in all of Tanzania was on the safari. Ourt driver was punctual, friendly and flexible. He made sure we saw as many animals as possible.

Wrote... The preparations for our JMT-journey went perfect: we never had such a quickly replying office ever before! Great follow-up! Thank you so much! Our Kilimanjaro trip (Machame route) was outstanding, perfect, excellent,... !!! We were so pleased by our guide John and his crew!!! If not Kibo (Kili's top) but the sky would have been the limit, they were above it and we would have followed them further on... It was really thanks to the help of John and Enock, we reached Kibo... !!!! Our crew was one of wonderful people... thank you again, a thousand times, you'll hear from us! Our safari time in Ngorongoro NP and Serengeti NP, was also a hit! Ngorongoro is really crowded with animals (on none of our previous safaris we saw so many animals at the same time!!!) and the Serengeti showed us its Big Five...! And the Big 6th was to us the hot air balloon: you'll never see animals so easily from the 4x4 vehicle as you can find them with that balloon! Very nice flight (much better than Kenia Airways!)!!! And finally: Uganda's scenery and its mountain gorilla's... a breathtaking (really) experience! Our gorilla trekking was not a once in a lifetime, but only because we did it twice,... and again: it was worth it!!! Also the local people in Uganda were really friendly! So, three outstanding experiences in one journey: thus, we are very happy tourists!!! Thank you JMT and the whole crew of people working with you!!!

Wrote... Hallo Tonino, Salim en Rachid!
We zitten alweer twee weken in de Nederlandse vrieskou, maar dan is het extra leuk om de foto's van de safari (half januari) terug te kijken. Vanwege de planning hadden we gekozen voor een driedaagse safari zonder Serengeti, maar we hebben in Lake Manyara, de Ngorongoro-krater en Tarangire NP al zoveel voorbij zien komen! Vooral dankzij Salim, want dat propje in die boom hadden we zelf nooit aangezien voor een python en dat stipje in de verte bleek dichterbij ineens echt een neushoorn. Asante sana voor jullie goede zorgen en extra inspanningen!

Wrote... Eind december 2005 en begin januari 2006 hebben we een 16 daagse safari gemaakt door Noord Tanzania. Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Ngorongoro en Serengeti. Een geweldige ervaring en zeer goed georganiseerd. Alles was uitstekend geregeld. Op het vliegveld werden we gelijk opgehaald, Adam stond met een bord met onze namen er op. Een ongelooflijke ervaring, zeker als je het geluk hebt zoals wij dat je in 16 dagen tijd 7(!!) luipaarden, 15 cheetahs, waarvan 1 met een kill en 74 leeuwen ziet. Van begin tot eind hebben we genoten van de natuur maar ook van de goede organisatie.

Lange pezige gestalten schrijden door het dorre landschap. Hun kleurrijke rode en purperen gewaden wapperen in de schrale wind. Zij storen zich niet aan de brandende hitte op hun huid. Over eindeloze paadjes trekken ze rond, de ebbenhouten stok dwars over hun schouders en hun armen erover gespannen. Hun voeten zijn vuil van stof en zweet en zinken in zwarte stukken autobanden vastgeriemd met riemen van rubber. Ze storen zich niet aan de talrijke zebra's en antilopen die hun pad kruisen. Ze zijn op weg naar hun manyatta waar de vrouwen voor de donkere hutten zitten te wachten op hun terugkomst; Ook de kleine jongens, zeulend achter een groepje uitgemergelde geiten, kiezen de weg naar hun schamele behuizing. De sieraden in de uitgerokken oorlellen zullen worden afgelegd , de laatste voorraad water zal in de kookpot worden gegoten om de stukken geitevlees te koken.Morgen begint een nieuwe zoektocht naar eten en water.
Boven de dorre savanne trilt alweer de hitte. De immense kroon van de acaciaboom wuift zacht naar zijn eigen schaduw. De zilveren rand van het uitgedroogde zoutmeer schittert aan de overkant in de ondergaande zon, als een breed getrokken lint. De geluiden van de nacht komen dichterbij. Zal de regen komen? De langverwachte regen die alles terug nieuw leven zal brengen.
De regen kwam, na een striemende, haast verstikkende zandstorm, die als een gordijn over het landschap stoof. In de morgen staan verse sporen van de grote kat, op zoek naar buit, vlak naast de bungalow!

De volledige reis was een formidabele ervaring en we zullen zeker niet nalaten om JMT bij onze vrienden aan te bevelen.
Onze vrienden kijken al uit naar hun reis in augustus.
