With this email we would like to thank you for our safari and also give you feedback on our experience.
First of all, congratulations for Kisedet’s fantastic projects.
We were welcomed with great warmth and immediately felt at home, we met the staff and the Director Mr Mukama who carefully explained to us how the programs for children work, both at the drop-in, the short-term shelter home in Shukurani, and at the long-term shelter in Chigongwe. Both realities filled our hearts with joy because we felt the care, the attention and the love dedicated to these projects.
Then we started our journey and it was a wonderful experience.
Fulgence and Freddie were the perfect traveling companions. Fulgence always attentive, kind, patient and discreet; Freddie a really great driver. With them, we always felt at ease and despite the many hours spent in the car, the time flew by.
We have always stayed in nice, clean places and have always eaten exceptional food: visiting the Kigwe market with Marimbocho, the stops en route to Babati and also on the way back from Arusha along the coast where we were always welcomed by the local people.
We were especially amazed by the night spent in Mto Wa Mbu where Freddy, from the Diaconical Health Central, had organized everything for us: a simple and wonderful accommodation near the hospital and an unforgettable dinner and breakfast prepared by two very kind ladies. We especially liked the fact that we were supporting small local communities in this way, as it was explained to us.
We also visited the Watoto Foundation and stayed at the Kiboko Lodge: places that impacted us positively and where we felt a warm welcome and perfect organization and once again, we were happy because our contribution was socially responsible and sustainable. We would have liked to have stayed longer to take advantage of the activities organized by the guys who currently work there.
Finally, we arrived at Bahari Pori in Pangani. Let’s start by saying that the nature in which the lodge is immersed in is nothing less than marvellous, including the beautiful mangrove forest. It’s a very quiet and relaxing place. Francesco was kind and helpful from the start.
I once again thank you for the unforgettable trip and congratulations on the Kisedet projects!
Julie and Betty.
