Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
First class tour with Globus. Exactly what they promised and more, staff from beginning to end were excellent.
There were two Globus tour directors, one for Kenya and one for Tanzania, due to a political dispute (which I understand is now rectified as of 1 July 2019). There was a marked difference between the tour directors: the Kenyan tour directory was excellent but the Tanzanian (with something to compare to) was less so. Nevertheless, we did not feel there was any uncomfortable problem which we could not cope as experienced Globus travelers. However, there was a lack of complete information about the Zanzibar extension. One note from Globus stated that a flight from Dar Es Salaam should not be booked before 5 PM. Yet the flight transfer from Stone Town Zanzibar put us there at 12:30 PM with a 6 PM flight. Due to the short period we did not take advantage of the "day hotel" provided by Globus but if known ahead of time we could have booked a better flight to London than to go Qatar Airlines through Doha.
