“Our safari guide, Colin McConnell Kenya born, a rugby forward with specs and a sense of humor”
My guide is Colin McConnell a fourth generation African born in Kenya who lives in Tanzania and knows this area like I know the deli counter at Barney Greengrass.
Dream Come True
“Our 5-day safari adventure with Intent on Safari in Tanzania was an absolute dream come true for us adventurous women travelers and friends. From the moment we booked with Laura, the process was seamless. She provided a wealth of information and checked in with us before and during our trip, ensuring everything was going smoothly. Our guide, Shedrack, was nothing short of incredible. His knowledge, flexibility, and kindness made our experience even more memorable. We opted for midrange accommodations, which exceeded our expectations. One lodge in particular stood out for its exceptional service and food. The wildlife sightings were truly spectacular, leaving us in awe at every turn. We were genuinely sad to leave and wished we had booked more days. Overall, a 10/10 experience that we’ll cherish forever. Thank you to the entire team for making it possible!”
Trip of a lifetime
“My brother and his family have done numerous Africa trips and quite a few with Intent on Safari. That’s how we got Laura’s contact information. After she knew the time of year we were able to travel – we had to align my husband’s business schedule with the college breaks of our two daughters – Laura put together a terrific itinerary that worked out just perfectly from start to finish and to the last detail.We traveled through three of Tanzania’s parks in what turned out to be a trip of a life time. The Lodges were all very different and all wonderful. Having a G&T while watching elephants move about at sunset was just a great stark. Black Rhinos, Leopards, Cheetahs, many Lions of all ages, Giraffes and Hippos followed. We saw huge herds of Zebras and Wildebeests migrating and many, many other species. Laura had organized a wonderful guide for us who was able to get us very close to the animals and explained animal behavior in great detail, during the game drives and at the camp fire. And in such a way that we could not get enough of it.We are not sure if and when we will return to Africa – but if we do, we will do it with Laura’s help, no doubt about that.”
An Amazing African Adventure
“Our good friends, having been on two Intent on Safari excursions, connected us with Laura. Once she knew when and what type of safari we hoped for, Laura set up itineraries, guided us through Tanzania protocols and shared with us her and Colin’s expertise and experience with amazing information. She was quick to respond to any and all questions and concerns we had. As for the Safari: Our “once-in-a-lifetime” trip was an adventure far beyond our greatest expectations: The food! The scenery! The people! The lodging! THE ANIMALS!! We’re already planning our next endeavor with Intent on Safari and have encouraged several friends and family members to seize the opportunity to experience Africa with Laura and Colin.”
A lovely time!
“My childhood friend Christine and I wanted to go on a safari together, each having been on safaris in Kenya and South Africaseparately. We were referred to Laura and Colin to help plan our trip to Tanzania. Not only were they helpful, they designed a trip around the activities and places we wanted to visit, and were very helpful with suggestions and mindful of our budget. Throughout our 2 week custom safari, we never once felt intimidated or unsafe, and had a very lovely time!
Both Laura and Colin were available by phone (WhatsApp) throughout our entire journey. I intend to safari with Intent to Safari again in the near future. ”
Superlative in Every Way
“Laura and Colin have planned two Tanzanian safaris for us, one for couple travel, one for a family trip. I have such absolute confidence in their knowledge of the region and its options, expertise in travel and travel planning, professionalism, communications and just plain fun-to-knowness that I have referred other safari dreamers to them repeatedly. I can’t imagine going to Africa under anyone else’s wings.”
Well Prepared Tours!
“I met Laura and Colin when they were still based in Tanzania.
Laura arranged my many safaris very efficiently, following my likes and dislikes. And I was very happy with her suggestions.
Their itineraries are well prepared, and everything works out just right.
I wish Intent on Safari many successful years and hope to join them on one of their safaris in the future.”
Amazing Trip!
“I wholeheartedly recommend Intent on Safari. There can’t be a better trip organizer than Laura. Her attention to detail was amazing and nothing was left to chance. She was even available for questions while we were traveling! This safari was by far the most extraordinary experience we’ve ever had. All I can say is “Do it!” ”
