The amazing vibes of Serengeti
During our trip (duration 7 full days) we visited for 3 days/2 nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and 4 days Zanzibar, staying one day in Stonetown and 3 days in an all inclusive resort in Nwungi Beach. The weather in Serengeti was marvelous - sunshine 16-26 degrees Celcius, however, as we were there at end of the rainy season we had the chance to see the Park dressed in green and the rivers and lakes full of water (green grass all over, green bushes etc). So the scenery was amazing. We booked our safari with Serengeti African Tours and everything went on smoothly. Dickson, our guide, was an excellent driver, which counted a lot as many paths in the Park were full of mud and water and it was easy to stuck. He also knew all the spots with the animals and plenty of information about them. The tented camp and the lodge we stayed were very nice. Accomodation was more then satisfactory and the food great. In Zanzibar we went without a tour operator. We stayed in Park Hyatt in Stonetown and Riu Palace in Nwungi, which were great, great breakfast, by the beach, excellent service, with one bad night in Riu, were a cocoroach walked on me while sleeping and they changed us rooms until they spayed and clean the room next morning. For some hours before our flight to Athens we booked a room in Tembo House which had good service but the room was terrbily hot as the air condition was either too weak for that room of mulfunctioning and did not improve although we complained about it. Overall I think that it vital that in Zanzibar one stays in 5 stars hotels otherwise one risks more to face inadequacies that spoil the trip. Weather in Zanzibar is not so good as it it hot and VERY humid and you stink from the first 5 minutes that you walk out. However, the nature is very nice and while you swim and saty by the beach it is nice. We were lucky to have an excellent taxi driver when getting around in Zanzibar (Omary), which is vital as the roads and the traffic there are madness, especially when it gets dark and I do not recommend for anyone to self drive there. As I am a traveller who likes to be independent and I like to rent a car wherever I go, I consider this as a serious disadvantage of Zanzibar. Also, one thing I want to mention is that as a woman travelling without my husband I faced some ridiculus problems especially at the domestic airport of Zanzibar and Arusha when traveling to and from Serengeti. The personel of FlightLink in both trips tried to cause me problems in order to offer solution which called for TIPS! When I was flying to Serengeti they lied to me telling that my flight was canceled ( the plane departed on time after 2 hours, eventually with me inside as an employee of the Zanzibar airport said to the personel of Flightlink something) and when we were returning to Zanzibar they did not load my backpack, weight 8 kilos and a backpack of another italian lady, weight 2 kilos, and the explanation was that plane was overloaded (there were many empty seats, as it was low season) !!! No male passenger faced the same problem, altough they had huge and heavy luggage! Coincidence ? I do not think so. When my backpack arrived with the next flight after 90 minutes they "helped"me carry it to the taxi, hoping for tip which I did not give of course! Last, Ï want to mention the VISA and ZIC insurance that add almost 90 euros or dollars on the budget of the trip without any justicication ! It is just an easy way to exploit - but not sustainably - the tourists that visit Tanzania. These 2 charges make sure that we will not come back, although we had a very good time, plus the fact that the trip is not very expensive nor too long, so it can be repeated by the same tourist.

If it is wildlife, then one must visit Serengeti and Ngorongoro
I did a 4 day, 3 night safari in Tanzania covering Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national park. Safari booking enabled me to start looking for tour operators, after going through for a while, I got my safari booked with Everlasting adventures. The communication with them was professional and friendly. All my queries were answered very patiently. Coming back to safari itself, it was wonderful getting a glimpse of Africa's top 5, to encounter them up close in the open wild was the best experience I had. Serengeti's vast open Savannah, Ngorongoro Conservation area was beautiful. The parks are well maintained, considering wild life habitat and their ecosystem.

Such an amazing country, the wildlife is unbelievable
We did a week safari followed by 6 days in Zanzibar and both were sensational. Firstly, our safari was with Serengeti Smile who looked after my family of four brilliantly, and we saw all the big 5 and more. The whole experience was amazing. Then Zanzibar … we did a couple of nights in Stone Town and 4 nights in a villa on the beach. Such a relaxing way to finish. Can’t recommend Tanzania enough.

Great experience
We took a your days tour to Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater and Serengeti Park. The first day we had a shared tour with four other great people and a decent guide and saw some beautiful landscape and some animals but the lodge (Africa Safari) was overflooded and looked nothing like the pictures on booking. The company must have known this because on Booking was clearly stated by the guests that this happend a lot this year.
The next day we had a group of two people from Germany that acted really aggressive towards us and especially the driver because he was late to pick him up. He was disrespectful for an hour threatening and talking aggressive and the guide just stood there and did not react at all (he also talked to his boss threatening that he is important and his time is important). This ruined the experience at the Ngorogoro Crater because we had to spend all day with them in that car, which was definitely a shame because it was the most beautiful place we saw in this four days.
Afterwards we stayed at a beautiful hotel with an incredible view near the Crater also called Africa Safari.
All three guides said that Serengeti Park is the most beautiful in Tanzania but maybe not in December because all the animals were in the sout of the park and we did not know that when we booked two days in the central part. I think the people from the company organizing the tour don t know this or don t care, because to set a tour for two days at Serengeti Park where there are almost no animals is really not ok.
Also be careful when booking the tour to make sure where the flights are right. On the sheet from them it was drawn a flight from central Serengeti but in fact was a flight from Kilimanjaro (an 8 hour road). When we mentioned this to the staff from the company they tried to mend it by offering an upgrade of the logde in Serengeti Park (which was nice and clean).

Tanzania, Magnificence everywhere
An Unforgettable Adventure in Tanzania
Tanzania is nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this would be a journey unlike any other. The national parks are some of the most stunning I’ve ever seen. Each one offers its unique charm, but together they showcase the incredible diversity of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes.
We were fortunate to see animals up close—majestic lions, graceful giraffes, and even elusive leopards. The Serengeti’s endless plains were awe-inspiring, while the Ngorongoro Crater felt like stepping into a hidden paradise.
Beyond the natural wonders, the people of Tanzania made this trip truly special. Warm, welcoming, and proud of their culture, they generously shared their stories and traditions. Visiting local communities was eye-opening and heartwarming, providing a glimpse into a way of life that’s both simple and deeply connected to nature.
The weather was perfect during our trip, warm days with cool breezes, a bit of rain but no this impossible to face, making every moment comfortable whether we were on a game drive or relaxing at camp. Safety was never a concern; everything was well-organized, and the guides and staff took great care to ensure we felt secure and at ease throughout.
Tanzania is more than a travel destination—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The combination of unparalleled wildlife, spectacular scenery, and the genuine kindness of its people makes it a place I will forever treasure.
If you’re considering Tanzania for your next adventure, don’t hesitate. It’s a journey that will stay with you forever! Our agency was Ngekewa Safari, super nice guides 🥰

Richful in nature
Happy to have taken a safari tour to Tanzania, got to experience rich wildlife. In Lake Manyara, we saw sleeping lions in trees, many exotic animals, and not least a whole giraffe family, all up close. I found Tarangire a bit boring, nothing much to see except for elephants and ostriches. Ngorongoro was epic, the wildlife, the nature, and the sheer size of the place. We saw nearly all the animals, except for the cheetah. All in all, I recommend taking a safari tour.

Safari in Tanzania: an unforgettable experience
Tanzania is a beautiful country, and we went on a 7-day safari with Allen Tanzania Safaris. The guides gave us some unforgettable moments.
The landscapes are extraordinary and very varied. You we went in Tarangire, with its vast expanses of isolated trees and large numbers of animals, many elephants and herbivores such as wildebeest, zebra and giraffe.
We moved from Tarangire to the Lake Manyara reserve and you are in a dense forest where you discover completely different landscapes. You'll rub shoulders with the lake and see lots of birds, baboons and elephants.
We then went to the Ngorongoro Crater, an impressive caldera home to a huge variety of animals. Once again another magnificent landscape, another fauna, lions, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, zebras, buffaloes, eagles, yennas.
Then we arrived in the Serengeti, savannah as far as the eye can see. We travelled through the Serengeti from the centre to the north, again with extraordinary landscapes and more animals, lions, leopards, crocodiles, hippos, zebras, vultures, cheetahs...
We were at the beginning of November, a very pleasant season, with cool temperatures at night (15°C) and temperate temperatures during the day (25°C). This is the season for light rain, and we only had 10 minutes of rain during our stay.
We went on safari by taxi plane between Arusha and Kuro in Tarangire, then between Manyara and Seronera in the Serengeti. I can only recommend this method of transport between the parks, as you can enjoy the view from the sky of Tanzania's mountains and avoid the fatigue of travelling to the parks. I can only recommend it.
All across our trip, the accommodation was very comfortable and the staff welcoming.

Lovely Africa Safari
Abundance of wildlife in breathtaking scenic views of Serengeti, Ngorongoron crater and other Tanzanian national parks I visited made that safari unforgeable life experience which was spiced by expertise and warmth of the Goldfinch staff.
