The Safari Quest is only 120 feet long, so it doesn't take long to tour the ship. You won't get lost or lose your mate on the Quest!
The lowest deck has the five mariner staterooms.
One floor up is the main deck with the dining room, galley, bar, DVD library, game table, salon, two cabins, and a wonderful open deck on the stern. The salon and bar area are the hub of the ship, and guests and staff enjoyed socializing, playing games, watching movies, or reading a book on the comfortable sofas. Passengers can also access the bow of the ship on the main deck.
The next deck up is the bridge deck with the four admiral staterooms, library, bridge, and a small outdoor deck.
The observation deck is up top, with a nice covered hot tub, exercise equipment, lounge chairs, hammock, and storage area for the kayaks.
Safari Quest Dining and Cuisine
Dining on the Safari Quest was a pleasant surprise, given the small size of the galley next to the dining room. The chefs created many delightful and delicious dishes from that galley. I knew we were in for a treat the first night, when they served green salad with strawberries, nuts, and blue cheese; shrimp pasta or prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh asparagus; and a macadamia tart topped with coconut ice cream. At the conclusion of each meal, we ordered the next one so that the chefs could cook accordingly.
I love hot breads, and fantastic muffins, hot from the oven, were the first thing greeting us each morning. Each day's muffins were different and delicious.
On the small ship, we could usually get a hint of the good things to come by the tantalizing aromas emanating from the small galley!
