Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Joost
The Ngorongoro crater was the biggest disappointment for me. I imagined a crater full of wildlife but it was mainly a crater full of tourists. To see lions it is a good place but again, like the other popular parks in Tanzania, you will always have to share it with 70 other cars. In addition, I found the practical aspect of the crater a real obstacle. If you are not staying on the edge of the crater, but like most people in Karatu, it will easily take you 2.5 hours one way to get to the crater from your lodge. The crater is very small, so you can explore the vast majority of it in 2 hours. If there is something to see somewhere, you can recognize it by the dust cloud moving in the direction of the sighting...
I would strongly advise skipping this destination. It's better to stay an extra day in the Serengeti...(which I didn't like that much as well)

Review about Serengeti National Park by Joost
We stayed in Central Serengeti in June while the migration was also taking place in this area. Very impressive. We stayed there for 10 days and therefore also had days when the migration had already passed through the area. Those days it was not easy to spot the wild animals. Overall I expected to see more cheetahs, elephants and leopards. There is no shortage of lions, but here too we were always there with easily 70 other cars, all moving continuously to see the lions just a little better and tourists shouting at the animals. Not the relaxing and romantic safari that I am used to from private parks in, for example, Namibia or even the national parks in Zambia. The roads are dramatic even though you pay a large fee to enter the park and the rest camps are places where you really don't stop for fun.
I have the feeling that they can also make the roads much more 'romantic'. Sometimes you have a beautiful river, but you don't see anything because the road goes in the completely opposite direction. The Masai Mara does this much better.
Overall I also thought the guides were very poor. They pushed the animals too much and often locked them in.
Overall, I would rather spend my money on a safari in Zambia, Namibia or Kenya, for example.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Mario
Mix of jungle/rainforest and the lake and some of the Big 5, it was diverse and different than the plains of the Serengeti. Also - lots of monkey sightings.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Mario
A magical playground for animals of all shapes and sizes to coexist with each other. Amazing and full of life. Being in the crater floor by dawn was important!!

Review about Serengeti National Park by Mario
I'm not capable of putting into words how amazing the Serengeti was. Camping under the stars (even for me, who never slept in a tent in his life - it was amazing) combined with being a visitor to nature's home and observing the animals - just amazing.

Committed to providing a good experience
The service provided was excellent, logistically they are punctual, they fulfill what they offer and I am very friendly. Jhonny, the guide, was very friendly and his interest in taking advantage of every moment to make our experience the best was evident. We had the opportunity to see many animals thanks to their commitment. The camp is very good, I felt very comfortable and the food was delicious. Everyone is very friendly.
I only have one point for improvement: I would have liked to have been consulted if we wanted to make separate payments with my friend, because only one was made to my card and that affected our trip planning.
Thank you for everything, I would definitely recommend you.
