“The planning and execution of our safari were flawless. Ms. Oken kept us apprised from the very beginning of the tasks and planning we needed to do to fully enjoy the trip, updating us regularly and following up to make sure we had all the details under control, like visas and shots, as well as pre-trip bibliographies and information about Tanzania to spark the imagination and ready the mind for the country’s amazing wonders.”
