Unique Safari Experience :)
Being on a really budget 6 month trip, we had decided not to visit any of the parks for a safari..
Until we met Mary and Thomas, a wonderful couple that run the Active Tanzania Tours..
We explained them our story and they were extremely keen to find a budget solution for us cause it is a such pity to be in Tanzania and not visit at least one of the famous parks..
Mary made a unique price that included : camping in Ngorongoro National Park (since this was the one we wanted to visit), and of course safari in the crater the following day!! The price was more than $50 from any other agency we found around.. We were super happy!
But the most important is not that, I mean ok, the price is a very important factor when deciding, but since this is a once in a lifetime experience, it has to be nice and planned well for you to enjoy it! So, that's exactly what I mean.. driver and cook were sooooo friendly, we still communicate with them via email, our night inside the park was amazing (sleeping next to cute zebras), and the safari the following day was the highlight (we saw soooo many animals and made some amazing pictures)!
For more details, you can have a look in our travel blog, http://www.dreamtravelive.com/2014/08/safari-in-ngorongoro-crater.html
We really really recommend Active Tanzania for your safari.. These two young and passionate people, Thomas and Mary, made our experience unforgettable! Hope to see you again guys :)

Tanzania:a land that left us an indelible mark in our memory. And for all this we must thank "A.T.A"
Dedicated to all of you that breathe AFRICA. Tanzania: discovering a timeless wild land.
- Here you can find the big lakes of Africa, the highest mountain of che Black continent (Kilimangiaro), the Great Rift Valley and an expanse of Indian Ocean.
- All of nature, its ecosystems and its rich fauna are definitely represented all over the 14 national parks and nature reserves: 25% of the territory is a protected region.
- Ngorongoro Conservation Area formed 2,5 million years ago. it is the largest caldera in the world and one the African marvels of nature.
- Serengeti National Park: listed by UNESCO among the sites of the World Heritage and declared as Biosphere International Reserve, this park is chosen as migration land by an amazing quantity of animals that every year move through this territory. We're talking of millions of herbivores, mainly zebras and gnus.
It this first safari, that won't absolutely disappoint you. You have chosen the right destination, it will take your breath away.
It has been a sa-fà-ri (in Swahili language) that means "journey", it was unforgettable: starting from Lake Manyara, directed to Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Easy, Tarangire, Marangu to see the Chagga people, where you can find the "door" to get to Kilimangiaro summit and finally, after 15 days of traval, Arusha.
We went to Tanzania in August, it is not exactly the right period to benefit of the migrations, but we saw anyway an amazing quantity of animals. Thousands of zebras and gnus as far as the eye can see, an enormous quantity that could cover all the territory of Serengeti and Ngorongoro next to their predator "friends".
Keep in mind that Tanzania is one of the most expensive area in Africa, there are wonderful lodges but we decided to live our experience in close contact with nature. If you don't have spirit of adaptability, don't do camping (tent and sleeping bad) as we did. Entry fees to the parks are very expensive, but in consideration of the beauty of this country you'll forget this thing soon!! Moreover, to avoid sinking in the sand, a 4x4 car is needed, otherwise it could be very difficult to move from one park to another.
- A journey is more than a vacation: it brings you intense, deep, unique emotions.
- A journey enriches you, gives you new perspectives and opens new horizons.
- A journey is the best investment, cause it makes your dreams come true.
- A journey stays forever, within you
