Overwhelming, mindblowing, unforgettable!
Tanzania, its people, its diversity, nature and national parks exceeded all expectations! Within 7 days we visited 4 national parks, drove about 1400km through 10 different vegetation zones and saw over 35 animal species. Each national park had its own charme and stunning scenery with humid djungle areas in the Manyara National park, dry savannah in the serengeti and a crazy crater with huge waterholes in the Ngorongoro National park.
Overall we fell most in love with the serengeti. We stayed 2 nights in a tented camp in the heart of the serengeti surrounded by nature without fences or other boundaries. We were just part of it all. At night we could even hear the buffalos eating next to our tent, hyenas strolling around us and lions roaring in the far. On our game drives we witnessed some special events like mating lions, a leopard eating its pray and a lioness with her cubs being approached by a group of elephants.
We saw the 3 big cats (lion, leopard and cheetah) and the big five, although the rhino just through binoculars. We were really lucky to have a guide we had a great vibe with. He also spotted EVERY animal around and knows every corner of the national parks. Having a good guide is crucial as you are dependent on his knowledge and decisions to be at the right spot at the right time.
The weather was warm and dry all the time. We felt safe at any time. Of course there were always other cars around when something exciting was on the menu (like predator eating prey or male lions being around), but it never felt like mass tourism. We always felt the bush and safari vibes. Overall it was a trip of a lifetime. If you are interested in some images of this trip check out my instagram @el.mago_merlin

If you can visit just one country in Africa - it must be Tanzania!
We have just completed 2 months travelling Southern Africa. We enjoyed it all and all 10 countries we visited. But on reflection, if we had to choose just one, it would have to be Tanzania. Ngorongoro Crater would probably be the pick of the parks, but the Serengeti and Tarangirie are close behind. The animals were amazing. We saw the big 5 twice over, and whilst finding animals in the wild can be hit and miss, your chances are greatly increased in Tanzania. Add that the quality of food and accomodation was top notch - what’s not to like?!

Nice country for a safari
Kenya is a nice place to visit for a safari. We were lucky to see all of the big 5. The scenery is really breathtaking. However, some places were already quite crowded.
I can also recommend to book with super eagles travel & tours Ltd. They did a great job.

Amazing experience and great guide
Really loved the safari. Our guide ( Ayoub) was super good, he spotted animals that I struggled to see with my super zoom camera ^^
The car is very confortable. Cleaned every day.
Our experience was magical. We saw lions cheetah leopard zebra giraffes buffalo elephants wildebeest antilope impala, monkeys,,…
Only missing the rhino from the big 5. We saw one in Ngorongoro but from very far. Couldn’t get a descent picture.
We stayed at the Serena hotel and it was the best choice we made. It cost more but it is worth it. Really make the full experience magical.no regret.
I compared many options and Serengeti smile was the best for price and options. You can’t beat them on the Serena Hotel price for sure.

Very easy to deal with - a pleasant experience all round.
The trip was fantastic! We loved every minute of the trip. The guides, food & lodges were all excellent. Each lodge had something different to offer & a new experience. Thank you for doing our bookings & for meeting us at the airport. It was a holiday to remember & hopefully repeat soon trying different lodges for different experiences.

very competent
James is very nice and answers all questions about the trip quickly. On-time pickup from the airport. During the Safari, a sufficient supply of drinks (water, cola, beer), a tasty meal. Our two-day safari was very charming. An unforgettable experience . Worth recommending. Price-performance ratio is right. Overnight stay in Jungle Pearl is great! Thank you very much African Polecat.

Great Trip, Great Guide
I loved my 28 day Birding and Wildlife Safari Uganda trip with Terrain Safaris. It was the perfect combination of bird watching and wildlife viewing. Every day brought a new adventure filled with unforgettable memories.
Paul KK is a great birding guide and wildlife spotter. Over the course of the trip, I took over 19,000 photos, some of which I will add to this review when the photos are ready. He has an excellent ear for bird sounds and was very knowledgeable of the birds in any particular area.
We saw almost 500 birds of which 347 were life birds for me. Of course, I was also thrilled to see wildlife such as leopards, lions, zebras, etc., but also wildlife that was totally new for me, such as a Blue Monkey and Red-tailed Monkeys, among others.
Our trip was well paced with more strenuous days ( for example, Gorilla trekking) alternating with more relaxed days (birding locally by vehicle). There were some days when we were changing locations/environments and that meant a lot of driving, but we always stopped for interesting birds and enjoyed the local scenery on the way.
We stayed in a variety of lodging, all well located for our birding and wildlife adventures. At one of the lodges, we could watch and hear the hippos and sometimes, the elephants, in the body of water that was down the hill from where our room was located. At another lodge I could sit on my porch and watch the birds flit around the trees at sunset.
I hope to return to Uganda to look for more birds and wildlife and I would definitely book again with Paul and Terrain Safaris.

Reliable service, fun and adventure
Before booking, I had no idea what I would get. I found Lucy online and I just went with the flow. Well, I had a really life experience to be honest. The safari was great and the people I met were awesome, we had a blust! So much fun, I will never forget it. Thank you so much Lucy! Kenya is an amazing country!!
