We had a wonderful time with Serengeti Trips Tanzania on our trip to Bongoyo Island. My girl friend and I really enjoyed the experience from start to finish. The tour began with a smooth hotel pickup, and everything was well organized. Bongoyo Island has beautiful, clean beaches and is perfect for swimming. You can also go snorkeling, and the water is very clear. The island was not crowded at all, which made it even more relaxing. We loved the natural environment and especially enjoyed walking to the caves and visiting the shark lagoon — it was absolutely amazing. We truly had a great time and highly recommend Serengeti Trips Tanzania
