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

Great experience and a wonderful 9 Days Kenya Safari !
I and my 2 friends had booked a 9 Days Kenya trip with Tropical Vacations starting with a night in Nairobi on arrival, then to
Masai Mara game reserve, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasaha , Amboseli National Park and finally drop off a at
Watamu.The tour was well organized. Our flight landed at 8 p.m. and Mathew and the driver met us with a car as agreed for a transfer to our hotel in Nairobi.
The car was a mini-van. It is quite decent, the seats are comfortable and there were no major breaks. Wilson could use the maximum the car can provide! :))
and we must say everything was excellent from planning to execution....first of all, our emails were responded to in time,
with all the answers we sought and at some point we had to change our initial itinerary..but it still worked out perfectly.
The Guide Wilson was a nice professional who was keen to show us around and drove carefully...he was also punctual on time
...the accommodation options we chose were booked and were perfect, staying in lodges, (Amboseli Sopa Lodge was nice, but a little far from the park!)
We were lucky to see most of the wildlife, with at least 4 of the Big 5 and to sum it up, Mount Kilimanjaro!
We were generally happy with the services and would for sure use this company again...also recommend to our friends....

What you really like!
With Hello Tanzania you can really organize the trip that you would like to do. The owner is ready to make changes to your program and meet your expectations. It was nice to find such kind of flexibility. We wanted to see the migration and therefore we drove up to Mara river, nearby Kenia border. But we did not want to miss the main sites at Serengeti and Ngorongoro and all of that spending only 5 nights over there. The safari was truly intensive and we have found in the driver the same friendly approach of the owner in Dar. The driver was also very expert of the parks and their wildlife making our trip pleasant and rich in information about animals and their habitat.

Amazing experience with gorillas, chimps and the guys from ugandagorillatour.com.
That trip was good, with animals seen on the ways, budget accomodations, dairy programs and game drive jeep.
Some boring transfers somedays but very long distances to drive along.
Not so good the extra night and meals in Kampala, obviously we had to have dinner/breakfast at that time

Very good service and hassle-free trip
I booked my east african safari trip with Maureen of go2africa. She was the nicest and friendliest of all tour agents i have conversed with online that's why i chose this company. She is very quick to reply via email and all my queries were attended to.
We had a great time in kenya and tanzania!! Trip of a lifetime for me and my husband by far. All arrangements were seamless.
Minor glitches : zanzibar pickup was kind of late and we were worried for a little time that we might not be picked up. We had nairobi layover for 2 days and we feel we could have seen more of the city to maximize stay.

Sometimes there were short delays in communication but Simon always returned emails

Hiked Kilimanjaro with Focus In Africa
Focus in Africa provided a great vacation and well planned climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The team of guides, porters, cooks and assistants were friendly and accommodating, and throughout the trip were genuinely interested in getting to know us and making sure we felt at ease and comfortable as we ascended kilimanjaro's slopes. Focus in Africa could have been stronger on the communication and administrative side of things: there was some confusion around how much to tip and what was included in the pre-paid arrangements. The management also stumbled a bit with one of the hotel arrangements. Overall, the on-the-ground staff was nothing short of superb, the management left a little bit to be desired in a few areas but was competent for the most part. Would recommend to a friend.
