Marcelle’s Great Adventure “Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind” Seneca. I too feel that travel is healthy for the mind; the knowledge you gain from visiting new places is irreplaceable. My great adventure is going to take me to Tanzania, Africa. Why Tanzania? I want to witness the unspoiled beauty of this country and its vast wilderness areas. I no longer want to experience the magnificence of Africa through the television or a magazine; I want all my senses to benefit from the experience. I want to see, hear, smell, taste, and hopefully touch the wild animals that still exist and travel unsystematically over Tanzania’s plains and plateaus. Most importantly, I want to learn more about this magnificent outland. Now that …show more content…

I searched for hotels in Moshi, Tanzania, on travel.jumia.com, hotels.com, and tripadvisor.com. There are 75 hotels in Moshi and the one hotel that caught my eye was the Mountain Inn.

For me, I need to personally talk to a live person when planning something of this magnitude; I don’t want to plan it on a website. Once again I turned to tripadvisor.com to get some insight on the tour operators operating out of Moshi, Tanzania. Makasa Tanzanian Safaris received excellent reviews from this site, 5 stars, and above all received the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. I then went to safaribookings.com to check out Makasa’s reviews and out of 197 reviews they received a perfect 5 stars, they can’t get any better advertising that that. Both tripadvisors.com and safaribookings.com reviews expressed that the owner, Selma, was involved in all aspects of planning the safari and returned phone calls promptly; this is exactly what I am looking for. The travelers that gave the reviews also emphasized that Makasa Tanzania Safaris gave them a trip of a life time. I also read about them on their own site, makasatanzania.com. Makasa Tanzania Safaris is an independent tour operator operating out of Moshi, Tanzania; their typical clients include families, groups of friends, and couples. For all these excellent qualities, I am going to book my safari with
