We are a group of 6 friends. We hired a 7-day package with a safari company (*BIG FIVE SAFARIS*) from Spain, advised by the staff of the Arusha BackPapers Hostel (dirty hostel, dirty sheets... I thought I would sleep standing up)
We closed a fixed price with the commercial (we have a record of everything on WhatsApp) and our surprise was that the commercial received us in Arusha and when we went to pay him, he wanted us to give him everything in advance and asked us for 200 euros more than what was agreed per person + 10 euros per person and day tip per driver, another 10 p guide and another 10 p cook.
We refuse, and the boss comes. After many discussions we agreed on 100 euros more per person with tips included.
1. They change our SUV, they put us in an old one, the windows don't close, no air conditioning, the refrigerator doesn't work.
2.Broken tents (one was flooded one night when it rained and we had to reorganize in the remaining two) Dirty and torn bags and a thin and dirty mattress. (THE SALESMAN HAD SENT US PHOTOS OF STORES WITH HIGH INFLATABLE MATTRESSES, WITH SHEETS...)
3. They ration our food. For example, only 1 slice of bread per day for breakfast. They didn't give us napkins, we ran out of powdered milk and we had to ask those in another group because they didn't give us more.
4. On the 4th day the tent erectors did not come and they forced us to help set them up.
5. We asked for another mattress to make it softer and we didn't get it.
6. On the last day, we had agreed on three things to visit and on the third, the boss (Always on the phone through the guide, he did not show his face at any time) said that they would not take us, that we should go on our own.
7. The boss did not give them the agreed tip and we decided to give it to them, after all, the driver, the guide and the cook were errands who did their job well. They were not to blame for everything that was happening to us.
I REPEAT, NEVER IN THE TRIPS WE HAVE TAKEN, AND WE HAVE TAKEN A FEW, HAVE WE HAD TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE AS DISHONEST AND INFORMAL LIKE THE SALESMAN AND BOSS OF THIS COMPANY.
I am trying to report the situation we have experienced, from Spain, I don't know if anyone could help me. ➡️ Leer más ...

Welcome to Iceland, dear traveller. What happens next?
As of 19 August 2020 (00.00) all arriving passengers can choose between a 14-day quarantine or a double testing procedure along with a quarantine for 5-6 days.
Awaiting results from the first screening test:
The rules of quarantine apply once you leave the border point. Once the sample for the PCR test is collected, you must go directly to your place of quarantine, by private car, taxi or rental car. If necessary, you are permitted to spend one night in appropriate quarantine accommodation near the point of entry, before travelling to the final place of quarantine.
Please make sure to download the app Rakning C-19, available through www.covid.is/app Opnast í nýjum glugga. The app delivers negative test results and assists in tracing infection if necessary. Furthermore, the app contains information about the healthcare system in Iceland and important tips about COVID-19 for your safety. Additional information about the app is available on www.covid.is/app/en.
If your test result is positive, you will receive a phone call from the COVID out-patient ward of the National Hospital (Landspitali) and additional measures to confirm an active infection will be explained. Negative results are communicated via the Rakning C-19 app or by SMS message to the phone number verified at pre-registration. If you do not receive your results within 24 hours please send an e-mail to testc19@landlaeknir.is and include your barcode in the email. Quarantine between tests: While in quarantine, you must stay at your registered location and avoid contact with other people. Pay attention to personal hygiene, especially hand hygiene. Please have your phone switched on at all times, to be able to receive calls or messages on the results of the COVID-19 test and for the function of the tracing app Rakning C-19.
During quarantine, you:
may seek necessary health care services by contacting the nearest primary care clinic, on-call services (1700 or +354 544 4113) or emergency services (112) by phone.
may take a walk in areas where few other people are present, but must stay at least 2 meters away from any other pedestrians.
may take drives in a private or rented car, but you must not have close contact with others from the vehicle, for example at drive thru restaurants or pharmacies.
must not have direct contact with persons not part of your own household; regarding contact with persons in your household you should pay careful attention to hygiene and attempt to remain at least 1-2 meters distant at all times.
must not use public transport (domestic flights, city buses, other buses) but use of taxis, rental cars and private vehicles is permitted.
must not visit restaurants, bars, gyms, swimming pools, cinemas, theatres, attend public or private gatherings of any kind or size, or visit any place where crowds may be encountered.
must not enter grocery stores, pharmacies or other stores. Delivery services are available in some but not all towns.
must not attend school or work.
may not go sightseeing and may not drive long distances (for example between towns), except if necessary between the point of entry/exit at the border and the site of quarantine.
In the evening of the fourth day after arrival, you will receive an email with information on how and where to attend the second screening test. To reach the site of testing you may use a private car, rental car or taxi.
Please note: If your first test was positive, whether or not you are isolated with active infection or released from quarantine due to recovered infection, you should not attend the second screening.
Awaiting results from the second screening test:
After the second test, you must return to the site of quarantine and remain there until you receive the results. If... ➡️ Leer más ...
Hello! Yes, I have one good tip about cars. Do not buy a car. Obviously, this is a waste of money. Why? First, you need to pay a huge sum for a car. Secondly, machines require constant technical inspection, which also requires high costs. Also, cars need to be refueled. As a result, a huge amount of money will be spent annually on servicing your car, although you could, for example, invest this money. Therefore, I consider buying a car a waste of money.
If I need to move around the city, I rent cars in services such as tlt.ae/car/mercedes-benz-viano/
It is much more convenient! After all, you have to spend money only on gasoline. I have been renting cars for 3 years. I recently made a calculation and with the help of it I determined that I saved about $70,000 on car rental
Yes, maybe my calculations are inaccurate, but I'm sure it is not far from the truth ➡️ Leer más ...
