I'm not sure where to begin to describe the experience my family just had visiting Africa. When I reflect back on what made it so special, I think a large part of it was the flawless planning and by Roane Travel and the people hosting us at Taasa Lodge. Truly a magical time and easily the best days of our lives. Elizabeth made us feel like family before, during and after our trip and that is unforgettable.

From planning a personalized itinerary months ahead, to answering all my questions leading up to the trip, to obtaining my visas, then adjusting my program when my husband was unable to go, they pivoted to assist me with anything I needed. On the ground, I was always accompanied by either a company representative or driver/guide. They also helped me find additional activities in Arusha before and after my safari began, based on my available time, energy level, and budget. The lodges were wonderful, the food excellent (staff members at each lodge had been made aware of my gluten allergy ahead of time and were able to advise me regarding menu items). A special shout out to my safari guide - John Mrina - who was relentless in not only finding animals (the Big Five!) but also maneuvering into the best position for photos. On the last day, we followed three cheetahs for over an hour and were rewarded by a live hunt! Thanks for an unforgettable experience!
