The journey of a lifetime

5 / 5 5 /5

Tanzania was an extraordinary destination for our first safari: we had the opportunity to visit several parks, each with unique landscapes and an impressive abundance of wildlife.
We were especially thrilled by Central Serengeti, where we were lucky enough to see all the big cats at very close range, experiencing truly unforgettable emotions. In Northern Serengeti, we witnessed the great migration of the wildebeests; at Lake Manyara, we saw several species of monkeys; and in Tarangire, we encountered zebras, elephants, and giraffes.
Another place with breathtaking scenery was the Ngorongoro Crater, the only park where it’s possible to see the white rhinoceros.
Each park left us with unforgettable memories, unique encounters, and documentary‑worthy photographs.
Tanzania gifted us one of the most beautiful trips we’ve ever taken.

The local people loved teaching us about their country and showing us all Tanzania had to offer. We felt safe and well cared for at every stop. I still can't believe we saw over 30 different kinds of animals, some of them so close we could have reached out and touched them! If you want a country with tons of things to see and do, Tanzania will keep you busy.

The whole country seems to be one big wildlife reserve.

An extraordinary experience although the Serengeti has become far to commercialised.
There are far too many vehicles and when a crossing or kill is broadcast it becomes a race which can be very dangerous.

My Safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks was an unforgettable experience. To see all the big 5 in their Natural environment plus all the other beautiful animals I had the opportunity to see was absolutely amazing.

Our time in Tanzania was amazing. We truly didn't know what to expect and we were pleasantly surprised. From the landing in Dar Es and seeing the hustle and bustle of the city to flying into Arusha to start our Safari experience. It was humbling being up close and personal with all the wildlife. Watching the animals wake up from our vantage point on the hot air balloon was one of the most beautiful things I've witnessed.
We were also able to swim with dolphins in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Zanzibar.

This was a trip that was truly memorable and will be replayed in my memories time and time again.

We also had a great guide Asifwae that we have stayed in contact with this past year. He was so soft spoken and kind and we loved hanging out with him :)

An unforgettable experience in the Serengeti viewing the great migration.

We had a brilliant time in Tanzania and couldn’t recommend the experience highly enough! Our tour company, Safari Soles, was amazing from start to finish, and our guide, Yona, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more special. The array of animals, accommodation, and beautiful landscapes was stunning, and every day brought something unforgettable. Tanzania is truly spectacular, and we have memories that will stay with us forever. Our only advice would be not to spend too much time in Arusha; the real magic is out on the safari.

A good mixture between modern and tradition. Depends of course where you are

4 / 5 4 /5

We travelled as a couple and made a mixture between tour operator for Serengeti tour and self organized. We had a rented car for 11 days, this was perfect, sometimes challenging, but we enjoyed the freedom. Trafic was not as bad as expected and also police controls were easy.

I was a little worried about to much traffic Jam in Serengeti and Ngorogoro during high season. All over all it was full but not that bad. At the entrence everyone is together but after a while all cars go different directions and you can also enjoy the fantastic landscape alone.
But I heared that in July 2026 there were less tourists than expected.

All accomodations we had during our stay were fantastic. I don´t need it fancy but I must say all places had great atmosphere and great food.

I must say, the people in Tanzania are very very friendly!!!
But we also left the normal touristy paths and there is always a difference how people react to you as an obvious tourist

Incredible

The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, the facilities were exactly what we were looking for, and we managed to see all the animals we had hoped for. It truly felt like being in a dream.

The only aspect that could be improved would be having a guide who also speaks Italian. That said, our DEO was absolutely fantastic!

Tanzania completely exceeded our expectations. From the breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife to the warmth and hospitality of the people, every day brought a new unforgettable experience.

The safari was undoubtedly the highlight. Seeing elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras and so many other animals in their natural habitat was something we will never forget. But Tanzania is so much more than its wildlife – the diverse landscapes, vibrant culture and beautiful beaches make it an incredibly special destination.

We came home with countless wonderful memories and would recommend Tanzania to anyone looking for an adventurous, beautiful and truly unique travel experience.
