tanzanian safari
the weather was nice, few animals, lake manyara was empty didn't deserve the time past there, we didn't see nothing there, best park was Sirengetti. Sirengeti luxury tent was the best part of our safari with very welcomig stuff and friendly people. spotting animals was hard. just few of them. black rhino was so far and it was not allowed to go close. so you can see Rhino just with binocular. our driver was so pathetic and didn't like when we stop to take fotos.

Good
We had a great time, both our guides were great! However, we felt there was a lack of communication once we arrived at the lodge. There was a bit of lack in detail about the itinerary leaving us confused about certain details or payments left to us. Alongside, not being sure who our guides were because they kept switching depending on the activities for the day. Other than that, we enjoyed our time.

Scenic and unique
Coming from western culture, Tanzania was definitely a destination unbeknownst to me. First and foremost, the people that I came across were ever so friendly, seemed relaxed and calm and eager to help. They didn’t seem to have “an agenda” which is so common in western culture. Akuna Matata isn’t just a slogan - it’s their way of life! The highlight of my trip was a visit to a local school in Zanzibar in which I got to experience some of the educational culture. It was truly fascinating! Another highlight was the snorkeling experience nearby Mneba Island.
My tour operator - Plex Africa Safari - was very professional, accommodating and knowledgeable.
I would go back any time to experience Tanzania anytime!

Very enjoyable safari tour - questionable accommodation
We had a very nice safari in a big 4x4 Land Cruiser and saw lots of the animals. Our guide Gerald (aka Geeman) was very good at spotting and pointing out animals and getting us all over the place and up close to several of the animals.
The only downside was the accommodation, which was an unpleasant surprise. Very basic tents which I wasn’t expecting, and the food was quite wearisome. Thankfully there was alcohol.
The trip to the Masai Tribe was fun, but expect to buy several take aways.

Review about Mara North Conservancy by Jiao wei
It's not as grand as imagined, and there are not as many animals as imagined. Finding animals is very difficult

Tour was not operated through Viccation
Thw tour itself was fab but as it was operated by another tour operator so it turned out that I had paid considerably more than anyone else on the tour. Viccation were still easy to deal with for the most part, the only exception being their payment links, which never worked. In the end they had another "subsidery company" send the payment link (it also charged a high booking fee which made it even more expensive!) Loved every minute of the tour itself and have left a review for the tour operator directly, next time i would book with the tour operator instead of an intermediary (or 2!)

The safari is good but does not correspond to what they offer.
We booked the two-day safari, but honestly, it's not like that. You leave from Zanzibar and take a ferry to Tanzania. Then, the driver waits for you, and it's a six-hour drive to Mikumi. You arrive there at 3 p.m. and do a three-hour safari. Then, they take you back to the hotel. No more safaris. You sleep in the hotel. The next day, they pick you up at 7 a.m. and then it's another six-hour drive, ferry ride, and back to Zanzibar. So, I don't understand where the two-day safari comes from. I insist we saw quite a few animals on the three-hour safari, but we only had three hours, when we had booked a two-day safari. Besides, they don't tell you about the six-hour drive at any point, and we didn't even have breakfast the day we arrived in Tanzania.
Another thing is that we booked it through Get Your Guide and then they canceled it so we had to pay again in person there, which is very strange. Honestly, it was a pain, and we lost another whole day just coming back... I don't recommend it like that. The best option is to go by small plane, but they only offer it as a one-day safari, but it seems that almost all the companies that offer these types of excursions operate that way...
