Why Travelers Choose Pristine Trails

I planned a group trip for 7 approximately 10 months before the travel dates. Wasn’t sure if a safari tour would be possible but I reached out to Pristine. Kim made it all come together and she made the process really simple. We chose The Retreat at Ngorongoro- the resort deserves 10 stars

Kim and her team also paired us with an amazing guide, Josephat, who made our safari completely seamless. He took wonderful care of us, handled everything behind the scenes so we never had to worry about a thing, and was incredibly knowledgeable teaching us so much about Tanzanian culture and wildlife along the way.
