What a great experience!
My name is Peter Crombe and on June 17th 2023, my group and I embarked on a half-day safari through Arusha National Park. Seeing wild animals common in Tanzania and other areas of Africa, sometimes only a few yards from you, was an awesome experience. We saw giraffes (who walked on the road alongside our SUVs), zebras, monkeys, water buffalo, waterbuck, warthogs, flamingos, and many other wild animals. Gift Mollel, who is the owner of Gift African Adventures and a native Tanzanian, was our tour guide. He got us close as possible to the animals and was patient when we took pictures. He is a pleasant person and willing to share his knowledge about the animals and culture of the Tanzanian people. I’d recommend his safari service to my friends and family. Thank you Gift!
Recommendations for those who go on a safari:
-Dress appropriate for the weather and bring a rain jacket
-Bring binoculars for the animals that are difficult to get close to and to see animal-animal interactions
-tip your driver; they work hard to earn a living
An amazingly beautiful and varied country
An incredible mixture of scenery and wildlife encounters.

It was amazing!
It was really amazing, the people are friendly and the tour through the various national parks was a once in a lifetime experience, you cannot convey the magnitude of the experience because words just do not do it justice. The Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater was really an awesome experience we saw lots of Wildlife, Mara National Park was not great I would give that a miss next time round. The Serengeti was FANTASTIC....I have never seen so many wild animals together in my entire life and I have been to many national parks. The hot air balloon ride was truly amazing and a must do. We saw the big 5 but there were so many awesome moments like the flamingos and hyenas in the Ngorongoro Crater. Out tour operator Lion King Adventures was really great and catered to our every need, I will use them again.

My dream come true!
I cannot cover all that is beautiful here - all there is to see and all there is to do. We faced each day with great anticipation and each day was equal to OR BETTER than the one before. The people are so incredibly loving, kind, happy and humbling. Their smiles will forever replay in my mind. The best experience I have had with travel abroad. I dreamed for many years of seeing Africa. My decision to settle on Tanzania was SPOT-ON. Tanzania, you were God’s gift to me! Thank you for this life changing experience.

Amazing wildlife and very kind people
Me and my family went to Kenya in October 2023. It was really amazing! On our two week trip we spent three nights and four days on Safari. We choose to “only” go to Masai Mara, instead of different parks, to be able to see as much wildlife as possible and skipping a lot of time in a car. It was really nice since we had a lot of time to explore different parts of Masai Mara, see the animals in different situations etc. However, if we re-planned the trip we might have done a combination with a park where it is possible to see rhinos (and other animals).
On our trip we also spent some time in Nairobi and in Diani beach. Very easy to get around Nairobi with Uber/Bolt. We travelled to Mombasa/Diani beach with train and it was also very easy. A trip of approx 6-7 hours one way but very pleasant - cheap, clean and on time. We travelled second class, but as we understood first class is not very expensive but a lot more comfortable.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Elize
We hardly saw anything that entire trip.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Elize
We saw so many animals in that small space. I have never seen so many flamingos EVER. Wow what a site. The amount of wildebeest and zebras is mind boggling. We saw so many hyenas and lions. The only downside was that it was really crowded with game viewing vehicles and it was not even high season. I would do it again.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Elize
Words cannot do it justice. You have to see it to believe it - the sheer amount of animals is something I never thought I'd see. The hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti as the sun rises is something that you must do.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Elize
It was our first day and we saw many animals. It is really beautiful. We stayed in a tented camp next to lake Manyara and had sundowners next to the lake. Wow!
