The trip was amazing, everything was just perfect. Our guide Kikitu was the best. We saw so much wildlife and beautiful scenery, that I will never forget this tour.

Warm friendly people with diverse and grand landscapes.
Our travel through Tanzania was a fantastic adventure. We had a 6 night/7 day all inclusive Safari with Airport Transfers from and back to Kilimanjaro Airport. Even before we landed our communications with our tour company (Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris) were detailed, clear, and prompt with responses to any of our questions.
The people everywhere were friendly and welcoming. We always felt safe and enjoyed taking in the local food and culture. The national parks, conservation areas are well looked after and our guide (Benjii) always had our safety and the safety of the wildlife first and foremost at all times.
We were astounded at the amount of wildlife we saw each and every day. Even if we saw similar animals, elephants for example- and we saw them every day, each time we saw them the setting was completely different and changed the experience entirely, in a very good way. This was the case for so much of the wildlife... if our jaws were not dropping from the wildlife itself then they were dropping from the pure natural beauty of the landscape.
We had great weather with only a few intermittent rain storms that for the most part we watched pass far off in the distance with the occasional light rain shower on two of the seven days of our trip. Our safari took us from Arusha to the Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, past the Ngorngoro Crater on our way to the Serengeti National Park, and then ended with a night camping on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and final game drive throughout the Ngorongoro Caldera and Conservation Area itself.
One bit of advice to consider would be avoiding either the drive from Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park or the return drive from Serengeti National Park back to Ngrongoro Conservation Area. While the scenery is stunning and there is wildlife along the way, the road is brutally bumpy. It is primarily a dirt road and a non-stop teeth chattering onslaught for several hours (around four hours). My strong recommendation would be to undertake the drive one way so as to be able to take in the scenery and wildlife (especially if the Great Migration is moving through that area in late February through March, which it was during our travels), but then book a flight from Serengeti back to Ngrongoro, or Arusha, or wherever the next destination might be.
Having said that, it would be a mistake of epic proportions to pass up a Tanzanian Safari simply because of the bumpy conditions along that stretch of road.
All said, the experience was life changing and we fully intend on returning to Tanzania in the coming years.

Great operator
This was one of a lifetime safari 8 day private safari which I was offered with Grayton Expeditions, our first interaction with Sandra was amazing as she was guiding us in all the steps of what we asked and what to carry on the safari, she also help us to choose the best luxury lodges around the parks that we visited that is Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha and Amboseli national park, we were forunte to sight see the elusive leopard and the rest of the big 5.
Our drive was Dan Castro who was every step of the safari was helpful, knowledge about the wildlife and birdlife in the parks.
I will always recommend Grayton Expeditions to any one who need a smooth safari in Kenya see you next time in my future safari.
