We have done more than 5 of such trips in Africa and this one was by far the best. Highly recommend.

The review below is the personal opinion of David Evans and not that of SafariBookings.

Absolute Rip Off

1 / 5 1 /5
4 / 5 2 / 5 3 / 5 5 / 5

The camps were mostly filthy no hot water dirty matresses ,no toilet paper with staff cooking in kitchens in the camps at night making so much noise one couldn’t sleep.overpriced.
All viewings had so many tourist vans on disgusting roads that it was likely a peak hour expressway

I loved Tanzania. It is a beautiful country!

The north of Tanzania is absolutely stunning. The scenery was truly spectacular—vast landscapes and breathtaking views at every turn. We were amazed by the incredibly diverse wildlife we encountered.

Our safari tour was exceptional in every way. The guide were knowledgeable and attentive, and the entire experience was thoughtfully organized. We felt safe, informed, and constantly in awe of our surroundings. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in nature.

We also ate very well throughout the trip—the food was delicious, fresh, and plentiful. The weather was perfect for a safari: warm during the day with cooler, comfortable nights.

Overall, this was an incredible journey that exceeded all expectations.

Fabulous country to see wildlife and to relax by the beach - not all in the same place!

We booked a 7-day private safari with Enjoyable Nature safari company, out of Arusha. The company was good - we had an excellent driver and chef, and our game drives were fantastic - lots of animals, but especially lots of lions, elephants and giraffes. We also spent a few days on Zanzibar, both at Nungwi and Stone Town. We particularly loved Stone Town, with its old fort, little winding streets, and multitude of cats.

We have spent a holiday in Sansibar and made a 2 days safari in Tanzania with " African Flowers " It was really a great experience. The trip was very well organized, our guide war really great and provided us with all informations about the wildlife and the life in Tanzania that we needed. During the safari we could admire the landscapes and the animals, our lodge at Lake Manyara was marvelous. All on all it war really unforgettable.

We so enjoyed our well organised, trip of a lifetime through the stunningly beautiful national parks of Tanzania, led by our knowledgeable and so friendly guides, and blessed with sightings of innumerable animals. Staying at lodges which were very attentive in every detail, staffed by the nicest people imaginable, a wonderful experience to add another dimension to our memories.

Best experience of my life

5 / 5 5 /5

We went on a 4-day safari, spending two nights in lodges and one night in tents, and it was absolutely perfect! We had the privilege of seeing all of the Big Five thanks to our professional and highly recommended guide (we booked through Safari 360). One piece of advice: we suggest visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, while skipping Lake Manyara if possible (ideally, spending two days in the Serengeti instead). We strongly recommend embarking on this wonderful adventure!

Wild life in Serengeti

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5

We went for a five day tour to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and saw a lot of wild life and amazing views. We saw lion, cheetah and leopard cubs. We also saw 3 cheetahs hunting a Thomson´s gazelle, hippos very active in the water measuring their mouths, giraffes, elephants, ... We saw more active life than expected. We also went on a trip on a hot balloon with Miracle Experience Balloon Safaris and I recommend it. You can see Serengeti and its views and wild life from another prespective.

Beautiful country, would recommend much higher prices for permits

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 0 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5
The scenery in the little we saw of Tanzania was spectacular -- we LOVED the country and all of its people we managed to meet. But it occurred that much more that could be done with money from raising the cost of permits/entrance fees, for the game parks -- such as improved roads and jeeps that do not run on diesel and spew toxic exhaust (how about solar panels on the roof that tourists raise to see out?). Yes, we saw many wild animals close-up, which is indeed great for a first safari experience, but scores of jeeps dashing from one sighting to another left the impression of a safari park, where the animals are no longer "wild" but super-accustomed to being only feet away from humans. One poor cheetah mother protecting several cubs sat in the grass surrounded by jeeps, unable to reach her gazelle kill, which was rotting in the sun and increasingly likely to attract hyenas. So perhaps higher permit costs will reduce the number of tourists slightly while enabling infrastructure
Read more improvements and perhaps enforceable limits on how many jeeps may approach an animal at one time. Just a thought.
