A must for safari lovers

As a group of 6 adults we spent a 10-day safari experience through all the major Tanzania National Parks. Acatree Tours & Safaris provide us all the services for the tour (excellent).
We have been in many other african countries on safaris (South Africa, Kenya, Namibia, Botswana) but we felt that we could not miss Tanzania and we were definitively right.
Serengeti NP is super abundant with wildlife in this season and we were lucky enough to see all 4 out of the 5 Big Fives that live there. The rhino is only present in Ngorongoro Crater and luckily we managed to get a couple of them as well. The landscape and nature are gorgeous and worth the visit even if you are not so lucky with animals.
Tarangire, Manyara Lake and Arusha NPs are all different and very interesting for a one day drive. They provide a different nature and habitat wrt Serengeti so they reveal to be very complementary.
All camps in the NPs were very cozy and they all provided excellent night
Read more and meal services. Nights in camps out in the wild are unforgettable.
Last but not least, worth mentioning the one-day hike in Mt Kilimanjaro. It is not a common practice, but if you are not going to spend at least a week hiking to the Kibo peak, it is worth considering the one-day tour that drives you to the Shira Plateau at 3400 mt height. There is an easy 3.7km long walk (100mt elevation gain) that allows you getting to the Shira I camp and enjoy the wonderful view of Mt Kilimanjaro, if you are lucky enough with the weather

Tanzania delivers an unforgettable safari filled with abundant wildlife and the Great Migration.

5 / 5 5 /5

Visiting Tanzania during the peak month of July is a major investment, but it completely delivers on its promise for wildlife enthusiasts. Catching the Big Five and witnessing the awe-inspiring Great Migration were the main purposes of my trip, and seeing those dramatic river crossings in person made every bit of the planning worthwhile. While July does bring larger crowds and higher tour fees, the payoff in wildlife density is unmatched.

Beyond the animals, Tanzania pleasantly surprised me with its comfort and hospitality. I was initially concerned about logistics and sanitation, but I was relieved to find bidets widely available in the restrooms. The culinary experience was equally impressive: our camp chef prepared fresh, hot, and nutritious meals daily - featuring eggs, oatmeal, fresh vegetables and fruits, and even unexpected treats like pork bacon. Coupled with the genuinely friendly and welcoming nature of the local people, every moment in the field and at camp felt safe, comfortable, and deeply enriching.

The towns are scruffy, the traffic is chaotic but the scenery & wildlife more than make up for it

4 / 5 4 /5

The Tanzanians themselves use an accurate Swahili term - "pole, pole" meaning slowly, slowly. The people are friendly and helpful. The hotels/lodges are of a reasonably high standard and you can usually get hot water (unlike Uganda). The proliferation of motorcycles makes the traffic crowded and unpredictable - you just need to remember this when crossing the road. For the same reason journey times can be longer than the distance would suggest. If the travel is on unmade roads (as most of them will be), the travel time increases proportionately. I went early in the dry season and the daytime temperature hovered around 24-28 degrees C. The exception is climbing Kilimanjaro, where temperatures drop substantially the higher you go. Once above cloud level, despite the lower temperature the sunshine will cause burning unless you've taken enough sun cream.
The scenery in Tanzania is magnificent, despite the littering from locals. Wildlife abounds and you'll certainly
Read more see most of what you expect to see. You may see all the "big five" with the exception of rhino. Leopards are less likely to be seen but I was lucky enough to see two. This applies to the National Parks. Outside of these, wildlife is more scarce. Costs vary but you are better off booking safaris with companies from Tanzania on the internet, rather than using companies in your home country who will use the same safari providers but after applying their mark-up.
Costs in Tanzania are relatively low but the more westernised the company you use, the more expensive it will be. In larger towns, you'll regularly be approached by locals who adopt the same approach - Hello, where you from? They may then try to sell you something which becomes trying after you've already rejected this approach by ten other people, but it's just a matter of grinning and bearing it.

Loved the Serengeti and saw the big five easily. Ngorongoro crater wasn’t as spectacular as expected (and VERY cold), but maybe we were just unlucky and it was a bad day

Tanzania is an incredible country! Our safari exceeded all expectations; we saw the Big Five, and the landscapes were breathtaking. The weather was perfect, and the lodges were very comfortable. Highly recommend this destination.

Tanzania was really amazing, people is very kind and they keep a lot of their culture. We stayed at Arusha and went to the local market and the craft market too, really beautiful pieces of art and people is very kind. About our safari we went to Serengeti national park and Ngorongoro cráter, our guide from Serenti African tour, Omari, was amazing! Always wanting to show us the best experiencies with the animals and we also went to a Masai trine, they showed us all about their culture. I really recommend to do this trip to Tanzania! We also went to Zanzíbar, and amazing and beautiful island… without a doubt the best trip i did in my whole life

We had an amazing 2-day private safari. We went to Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Personally, I found the crater to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. You spend a lot of time traveling, so keep that in mind. After 2 days, we were definitely ready to relax by the pool at our hotel in Zanzibar.
