接下来这篇文章要提到关於我们使用Explorer Kenya与另一家坦尚尼亚旅行社Masai
Tribe Adventure 的经验
(I'm going to share my experience of joining the Safari offered by two
different agenies: Explorer Kenya and their Tanzanian partner Masai Tribe
Adventure)
我们在肯亚部份的旅行, 很幸运的Explorer Kenya给了我们一个很有经验的驾驶间导游,
他的名字叫做Simon,
(Simon is the tour guide and driver from Explorer Kenya when we were
travelling in Kenya.)
他懂非常多的动物, 总是可以很迅速的找到许多的动物, 很有经验, 所以不会像照片里这
台车一样, 在国家公园里走错路, 掉到泥坑里动弹不得
(He was able to recognize lots of different animal and plant species.
Besides, it seemed very easy for him to find animals easily and fast. He knew
where the best road is to find the animals so we wasn’t stuck somewhere like
this Safari van. )
他虽然让我们一定看到动物, 但他总把我们的安全当做第一优先, 在他的安排之下, 我们
不但可以找到最好的角度拍摄动物, 也兼顾到安全的考量, 不会像下面这张照片, 这个驾
驶兼导游就是不顾客人的安全, 只一味的让他们跳到车外拍动物, 殊不知身後还有两只母
狮随时都有可能做出攻击的动作
(Though he tried his best to let us see animals, he always put our safety as
the first priority. “The client’s safety is the most important thing.”
Said by Simon. When we were in Masai Mara National Park, a guide drove his
Safari van between two lions in order to make his clients very close to the
lions. That guide also allowed his client (the girl in the picture) to get
out the van taking the pictures. However, this girl just didn’t notice that
there was a lion sitting behind her when she was taking the picture of
another lion. This is an example showing that a bad driver and guide may made
his clients in a dangerous situation.
肯亚的旅行社非常的多, 优劣也参疵不其, 由没有信誉的旅行社经手, 或是由没有经过专
业训练的导游驾驶带领, 很容易会像上面那两张照片一样, 让自己陷入险境之中, 所以在
肯亚, 我真的很幸运遇到了Explorer Kenya的Simon, 我实在是大力推荐这一家旅行社
(There are tons of Safari agency, and the quality of agency will
significantly influence your safari trip. If you are asking an agency without
good reputation to deal with your safari, it may make your trip dangerous and
not safe.)
所有的肯亚的旅行社只要有安排有坦尚尼亚的行程(以我们的行程来说就是恩格鲁国家公
园和赛伦盖提国家公园), 都必须找一个在坦尚尼亚的旅行社来承包这部份的行程,
Explorer Kenya在坦尚尼亚伙伴是一家称为Masai Tribe Adventure的坦尚尼亚旅行社
(Because the government of Tanzania doesn’t allow the Kenyan travel agency
to deal with the itinerary including Tanzania. Therefore, those agencies
always need to find Tanzania partner agencies to be in charge of the Tanzania
part. In our case, Explorer Kenya asked another Tanzania agency to be in
charge the Tanzania part of our itinerary. The name of this partner agency is
“Masai Tribe Adventure”
Masai Tribe Adventure (http://maasaitribeadventure.com/About%20us.html 他们的Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Maasai-Tribe-Adventure/122370457886498,
Facebook的Cover picture就是我们和驾史兼导游Mbasha的合照)
负责当我们驾驶兼导游是Mbasha (M不发音, 所以念成”巴夏”)
(Here is the website of Masai Tribe Adventure,
http://maasaitribeadventure.com/About%20us.html They also have a facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Maasai-Tribe-Adventure/122370457886498. )
Mbasha也是这家旅行社的老板, 旅行社有四个人, 包括他和他的弟弟(他弟弟在旅行社里
做IT的工作), 根据我这几天的经验, 我非常推荐Masai Tribe Adventure这家旅行社
(The owner of Masai Tribe Adventure is Mbasha who is also our guide and
driver when we were in Tanzania. There are four people including him and his
brother in his company. According to my Safari experience in Tanzania, I
highly recommend Mbasha and his company, Masai Tribe Adventure.
因为, Mbasha和前面提到的Simon一样, 都很会认动物, 也很会找动物, 前面游记里看到
那些在赛伦盖提的许多动物, 没有Mbasha的话我们可都是看不到的, 而且很多时候, 我们
都是前几部车发现动物的, 後面才有其他的车子赶来看我们发现的动物
Like Simon from Explorer Kenya, Mbasha also has a great eyesight and is able
to find where those animals are. Without Mbasha, we were not able to find so
many animals shown on the pictures of my trip report of Serengeti and
Ngorongoro. In fact, we are often the first one to find the animals, and
other Safari van came after us to see those animals found by Mbasha.
Mbasha在Safari的这几天里也会依照我们的需求弹性调整行程, 也不会逼我们一直去纪念
品店买东西, 非常不错
Mbasha was also able to adjust for us as what we needed and he didn’t
enforce us to do shopping if we don’t want.
另外, 通常一般的Safari行程会花一小时去参观当地原住民马赛人的部落, 也许看看他们
唱歌跳舞, 买买纪念品就离开了, 然而, 因为Mbasha自己就是马赛族原住民, 他其实有很
多的马赛朋友, 所以不同於其他旅行社蜻蜓点水式的参观马赛部落, Mbasha可以安排行程
让大家不只是花一小时参观马赛人的部落, 他甚至可以安排让观光客在马赛人家住一晚,
来一段马赛原住民的文化之旅
Generally, visiting Masai village is always included in the safari in Kenya
or Tanzania. However, because Mbasha grow up in a Masai tribe, he can arrange
his clients to visit the “real Masai family” not like the Masai village
always visited for tourists. He can also let his clients to stay with a real
Masai family for a night to experience the Masai Culture.
Mbasha告诉我说他们旅行社还有安排攀登位於坦尚尼亚的非洲第一高峰吉力马札罗山的行
程, 喜爱爬山的人可以考虑跟他联络喔, 不过我很不喜欢爬山, 所以Mbasha就建议我喝一
下当地的吉力马札罗牌的啤酒就好….
(Besides, Mbasha told me that his agency can also offer the itinerary of
Mount. Kilimanjaro for some people who likes hiking and outdoor activity.
However, I don’t like to climb the mountain so Mbasha told me that you can
just drink a local beer named as Kilimanjaro to pretend you have been there.
Haha.)
大概分享到这里, 有问题再问我吧
Anyway, here is my experience about picking up a good travel agency. Please
let me know if you have any questions.
