Thanks much, Bill. It's helpful.
I just checked some website covering consolidated Safari Operators
info. and found that the cost per day ranges widely. For budget ranges
around USD 70-100 per day per person, is it normal price or cheap?
what's the lodging quality I could expect, clean & acceptable or lousy?
And~ when you were in Tanzania, what did you do there? Watching animals
all day long? How long does it take to travel from Masai Mara to
Serengeti?
Best,
Eunice
