Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Keir
Lots of animals to see, particularly lions and elephants. The scenery is spectacular. The crater is the highlight, but there is lots to see all over the park.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Keir
On the morning I did the game drive, most of the animals seemed to be in bed. But we did see some, and the Sykes monkeys were delightful.

Tanzania is an excellent safari destination with lots to be seen.
I visited Tanzania in December 2023 and did a 9 day safari over the Christmas and New Year period. I booked through Doreen Paradise and Wilderness, who were excellent. I was taken on a circuit of the national parks in the north of the country, and had some great wildlife viewing as well as some cultural encounters with the Maasi people.
The only real downside is that a lot of the roads are not metalized and can be rough and corrugated. So driving what can be long distances could be difficult for those with a bad back or similar condition.
Another piece of advice I would offer is always to go with a reputable travel company unless you are very confident of making your own arrangements. The bush in Tanzania is very different from European or North American city life and one could feel very lost without a ready made support network.
But I had a great time and would recommend it highly.

A beautiful country with complexities that you can feel. Very organized for tourism
My tour operator was Mzansi Experience. Not expensive and really very good. The parks are wonderful and full of animals, it is a very varied landscape. Tourists are welcomed with kindness and attention everywhere. Unfortunately I can't say I've lived the cities, because are described as dangerous, and in hotels they don't recommend walking - even during the day - so I didn't visit either the center of Cape Town or Johannesburg

The charm of Africa still virgin
My 6 days in Uganda followed by Kaje Safaris. In a short time, but full of strong emotions, I had a beautiful image of Uganda, thanks above all to the experience and professionalism of Kajie through my guide (now friend) Colly. From mountain gorillas, to the safari in Queen Elizabeth Park, up to the pursuit of chimpanzees and, finally, a river excursion which completed the observation of the big five. I was lucky enough, thanks to the experience of the guide, to see 4 big ones in a single day. Lions, hippos, African elephants (the largest in the world) and the very rare leopard. In addition to the fauna and the fabulous landscapes, I cannot help but say that the friendliness of the people and their gratitude touched my heart and I am already thinking of returning to Uganda as soon as possible.
To conclude, I would like to recommend Kajie Safaris for their professionalism, seriousness and preparation. They make sure you don't lack anything and satisfy every request. I couldn't have chosen better.

Quick to answer, quality of service to accommodate, incredible experience for a solo traveller.
The 5 days trip in Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire was breathtaking. This was mostly thanks to the skilled driving of Jacobo and the amazing local food prepared by Salimu. We managed to see from up close many animals, way more than we expected including cheetahs, lions, buffalos, elephants and their respective cubs. We were told we were lucky to encounter some of them, even more multiple times. My take is that the mix of the skilled driving, knowledge of the quicker ways to go around and Jacobo network to have the news and sighting before any radio announcement made it possible.
I also took the opportunity to go for a one day trip to Materuni falls and experience homemade coffee making on the coffee tour with Fidelis. He was very helpful on any question I asked since he is originally from a city not far from the falls location. We even interacted in French on top of the usual English.
Big props to Meruslopes and Geofrey for their constant quick availability on any organizational topic ! If you want to have a real adventure experience, I cannot recommend better than them.

First safari of my life and it was beyond expectations!
Safari is really an amazing experience!
Steve is a nice and positive guy, passionate about his work. We had the opportunity to see 4/5 big five on the 1st day!! (we missed only the rhino which is really rare in Masai Mara)
We had some problems with the jeep (for example, we got stuck in the mud), losing some time but Steve and Axis managed to make us happy in every possible way!
I would definitely suggest it!

Nice experince
We choose the option of 3 days and 2 nights, we did the visit to the Masai village that was very nice and interesting and the safari itself was amazing!
Unfortunately we had problems with the jeeps on the first and the last day and we lost a lot of time because of that but in the end they have been nice to find a solution and make us satisfied!
Our guide Stephen has been very kind and nice!

Flexible, Diverse, Personalized!
Catherine was my partner in crime from the beginning to the end while planning this amazing trip. She was always dedicated and flexible to understand my needs or wishes to have on this trip and make some adjustments to personalize it the way I wanted and that has no price. Most of all the accommodations (6/8) are stunning, really well thoughtful and diverse one from the others and she was receptive when we would may comments or suggestions about them
The itinerary was perfect and she even got us a Spanish guide for my mom and I.
Thank you so much for make possible this experience!!!!!

Wonderful Journey with Full Package Adventures(Asante Sana)
We were able to have an absolutely amazing experience thanks to Full Package Adventures! Everything about the trip was carefully planned. When we got to the first lodging, Max, our guide, was waiting for us. He gave us a hearty welcome and went over the whole safari package with us. With his many years of experience, he gave us in-depth knowledge about Tanzania's environment, wildlife, people, and culture. We were drawn in by his obvious enthusiasm for his work, which was evident in every facet. Max never ceased to amaze us with his ability to make wise decisions when it came to the game drives. As a result of his choices, we not only saw the entire 'Big Five,' but also elephants, cheetahs, and leopards strolling next to our vehicle.
Together with his wealth of knowledge, he is also incredibly kind and helpful, which makes us feel safe and at ease while traveling in the car with him. We were quite pleased with the accommodations and the arrangement of all the attractions, so we would suggest this to anyone considering a similar trip. Ask to have this guide if you have the opportunity. Everything about Tanzania will be missed, including the uneven roads in the Serengeti;) Thank you so much, Full Package Adventures and especially Max (Asante sana).
