Amazing country which offers the best of wildlife watching !

I went on a safari for a whole week, including the visit of the following parks : Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
We had the opportunity to see so many different animals, including the famous "big five" but also a lot of other species.
What a pleasure to be able to witness the incredible sight of lions, cheetahs, leopards and their cubs from up close.
Serengeti is a classic and I believe it remains unbeatable in terms of the variety and quantity of animals that you can encounter.
I was also lucky enough to share this adventure with like-minded and curious people in our safari group !
This is an experience I am not likely to forget :)

The Safari Explorer tour operator was exceptional from the moment we booked the trip. They assist and guide you with great professionalism, striving to offer you a personalized and unique experience. The safari was exceptional; the facilities used were all top-notch, clean, and well-organized. The wildlife and landscapes were stunning. Unique! We saw all the large mammals and countless other animals. The visit to the Maasai village was also wonderful. A memorable trip!

Our family safari with African Big Cats was wonderful. We stayed the first night in a tented camp in Tarangire where we had to wait for 20 minutes for a bull elephant to get out if a way, On the 9 drive we saw 8 species that we never saw during our 7 safari days, including an aardvark. We saw every species of animal that are in the areas of Serengeti where we visited and finally, got great views of a Rhino in Ngorongoro. The tiny coffee farm and an authenti safari visit completed which for all of us was a wonderful safari that exceeded our expectations.

The most incredible travel destination if you are looking for the trip of a lifetime!

Tanzania is where all the animals are! There are so many possible destinations for a safari and it is an overwhelming decision, but it doesn’t need to be. If you are looking for: polite, friendly, welcoming people, fantastic weather, a huge variety of animals not to mention being able to see Mountain Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and the most incredible National Parks…TANZANIA is the destination!! The parks allow for the wildlife to live and roam freely and accommodations are right in the park so you get the most incredible experiences and ability to see the animals up close (safely). What we saw and experienced is almost indescribable. Lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, water buffalo, impala, hippos, leopards, ostriches, monkeys, we even saw a black rhino!! We travelled with African Big Cats Safaris and they were truly incredible and we highly recommend travelling with them. Choose Tanzania, you will be so happy you did.

Stunning, giving Emotions

With Dallas Safari, we had great emotions and memories. Henry is great as driver, making the experience memorable and unique. We saw many animals and we did full day around trying to spot wildlife. Emotions with lots of Elephants, lions, Yienas, Giraffes, Zebra, etc. Rhinos are not in the park we visited, that's clear.
River safari was also great, with crocodiles and hyppos.
Lodge was ok, considering we were in the middle of africa 5h drive from Dar Es Salaam.
Just one note: driving safety concept in Tanzania is far away from Europe. To be addressed to the driver.

Tanzania is a land of breathtaking landscapes, and abundant wildlife

5 / 5 5 /5

Tanzania is an amazing destination, and the safari experience was unforgettable — the wildlife sightings were incredible, and our driver was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge and professionalism made the trip so much better.
However, we faced several issues with group coordination. Since everyone stayed in different places, we lost a lot of time organizing and waiting. There were also complications with participants from another company joining our group, which added to the confusion.
Additionally, we were informed that water would always be included, but we ended up having to pay for it during one of the dinners, which was disappointing.
Overall, the destination and the safari itself were wonderful, but better planning and clearer communication would have made the experience smoother.

Tanzania - go there for an amazing diversity of wildlife, up close and personal!

5 / 5 5 /5

We travelled throughout the entirety of Tanzania with Lion King, which was a first rate tour operator. The safari was well organized, and the guide who accompanied us for the whole time, and the accommodation, were all quite exceptional.
This was our fourth African safari, and we saw more wildlife on this trip than, probably, we had seen in the earlier three combined. The travel on the roads, in a 4WD, was long and at times tiring (and we were just passengers, not driving ourselves!), but every day was absolutely full of exposure to all of the African animals: we saw very many, and we were physically very close to all of them. Tanzania appeared to have less of the dense foliage that you find in, for example, Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, and Zambia; not an absence of trees and shrubs, but plenty of relatively open space as well. This meant that the wildlife was easily able to be seen, and approached closely enough to make the encounters very memorable indeed.
As a destination for safaris and meeting wildlife, Tanzania is very highly recommended!

Tanzania is the place to go when you wish to experience awesome people and get close to wild life. Everywhere you go people are friendly and just plain nice. Tanzania offers the opportunity to visit multiple parks where you get to see up close all kinds of animals, specially the famous "Big 5". Gosheni Safaris went out of their way to accommodate our itinerary request and we were able to visit the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park and other locations where we managed to experience the great Wildebeest migration. The whole experience was just awesome.
