Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Jordan
We spent one day in Lake Manyara. The elephant viewing is wonderful here and the landscape is beautiful. There aren't a lot of predatory animals around so that is lacking, and the park is somewhat small so it feels like there are a lot of tourists around.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Jordan
Ngorongoro was absolutely beautiful. There is a great mix of animals here and you have the chance to see every one of the big five. Because it is a smaller space there are a lot of other trucks around though so it can feel a bit cramped.

Review about Tarangire National Park by 3scape Photos
Tarangire was not as picturesque as perhaps Ngorongoro Crater or Serengeti, but still had an abundance of animal life and more birds than the others.

Review about Tanzania by Jordan
My wife and I spent 12 days in Tanzania. We flew into Kilimanjaro International Airport and covered Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Serengeti. The wildlife viewing is absolutely amazing; especially in the Western Corridor. Our accomodations were first rate and the food was wonderful. It truly was the trip of a lifetime.

Saw all the wildlife you can imagine in one place, very scenic
Beautiful place, with animals so used to the vehicles the lions even fell asleep leaning on one of the vehicles. Which really sums it up - so many tourists that they are used to being watched - for every lion a convoy of jeeps would appear.
Overall a good experience, but to see Tanzania you really need to get away to one of the more isolated parks such as Selous or Ruaha. We visited with Specialist Tanzania who organised an excellent holiday and I would not hesitate to recommend both the country and the company.
Selous Game Reserve: less crowded= much more natural experience
Plan your safari very early- possibly before you leave but definitely in your first week. The more people in your group, the cheaper the safari (4 day safari in Serengeti/north circuit will run $600-700 plus flights/bus if you have >2 people in your group, whereas it will be >$1200 if you are alone). I tried for 3 weeks to join groups but couldn’t find any companies that had groups to join, so couldn’t go to the northern circuit.
Instead I went on safari to the southern circuit in Selous. This was an awesome experience and we got to see tons of wildlife in the comfort of luxury tents (true 5 star experience with excellent food and service). You are truly immersed in wildlife 24 hours each day with giraffe walking by your showers. I woke to fresh morning tea just to see a herd of elephants walk right by my tent. Each day you're there you have a choice between a boat, walking or truck safari (2 total per day). The stars at night are the most brilliant I have ever seen (zero light pollution). There is a guard that patrols the camp for lions at all times and you are always escorted at night from the dinning tent back to your own tent (big cats will roam the camp site at times). I always felt comfortable and protected, although the animal sounds at night were pretty exciting. If you want to see pictures you can look at my flickr site at:

My friends previously went on safari at Serengeti with Sunny’s Safari, and they said they enjoyed that company.
