We did a four day safari, taking in Tarangire, the crater and Lake Manyara. Tarangire was fantastic with lots of wildlife to see. If you only have a day this would be a great place to visit.

There are plenty of taxis available for getting around easily and safely.

We absolutely loved our safari! We saw the big 5 in the first 3 days of a 6 day safari, saw >15 lions a day and had baby cheetahs playing on our car at one point!! Glamping was incredible....nicer than most hotels in the US! What really made the trip, though, was our incredible guide! Elamus loved his job and it showed. He was great at finding animals so that we could see them up close without a million cars around. He took us out as the sun was rising and we didn't go back to camp until the sun was setting. We thought that a safari would be fun, but it was just absolutely incredible!!

Me and my husband were met at the airport by the representative of a safari company and driven to Arusha from where we had started our first safari. The manager Shabani Mbirize welcomed us at his office and explained the safari programme in detail. We had 6 days/5 nights camping safari in Tarangire park, Lake Manyara park, Serengeti 2 nights and Ngorongoro Crater. We were satisfied by the price and the quality of our safari. Our friendly driver Leonard was very attentive during the whole safari. Despite some problems with the battery of the car, he managed to show us everything we wanted :). The chef Saide always made us delicious food and kept saying to eat it slowly, slowly :)).We really enjoyed the time there. Thank you guys! The weather was wonderful, except for a little bit of rain and quite a chilly night on Ngorongoro rim (good sleeping bags are needed). The changing scenery with its mountainous views, bushy savannahs and endless plains was stunning, we were happy to see lots of
Read more different species of animals including a cheetah, a leopard with a baby, lots of lions, gnus, gazelles, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, monkeys, hippos, crocodiles and hundreds of species of colourful and interesting birds. We enjoyed our accomodation with the evening acrobatic and dance show of the local performers and a spectacular sunrise at Panorama Public Campsite. However, Seronera public campsite in Serengeti is a bit overcrowded and dirty with cold showers and lack of toilet paper. But still, the shouts of hyenas wondering around at night around your tent make it an amazing life experience :). Simba public campsite is a special place with zebras grazing around all night long till the early morning and the elephant standing just in front of you by the washrooms :)). Tanzania is a perfect holiday destination for nature lovers!

Our safari was great! We got to see the big 5 at Mikumi National Park. The communication from the beginning was great, the staff is extremely nice and flexible. We did a 3 day safari and found it to be just long enough. We loved talking to our guide Paul and would highly recommend him. He was full of stories and knew so much about animals. Very safe driver! We really could not have had a better experience. Thank you !

For me the highlight was Serengeti where in one day we saw more than 60 lions and on the second day a pair of cheetahs, as well as giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, antelopes, impala, and elephants so close you could touch them
We had a fantastic guide, Joseph from Bestday Safaris, and we saw Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Manyara National parks in a 6 day tour.
I would recommend this trip to everyone.

An experience of soul

It was a great experience, african people is kind e reliable, with a very big heart. Looking at wild life was like be in a documentary. The people is very friendly, sometimes in local villages you would live the diversity of “white man” as source of income, don’t stop at their need of dollars and open your heart! The food mainly cooked like soup, and based on meat, vegetables , a lot of banana, rice and Spices.
The accommodation in safari was camping , excellent experience, our guide and our chef did everything to make us feel good.

We booked our 5 day safari trip to Tanzania with Bestday Safari’s and had a great experience.
Our english speaking guide and driver David was the best guide you could wish for, he had lot of knowledge about the wildlife and is an excellent driver and a relaxed an flexibel person.
We visited Serengeti for 2 days and stayed overnight at the campsite of bestday safari’s.
The tents were excellent and the food at the campsite was the best we had during our holiday.

Peter the owner of bestday safari’s met us at the start of the safari and when we came back he also
did a debriefing to check if everything went according to our expectations.
We had a wonderfull safari experience with our family thanks to Bestday Safari’s.

Surprising in all aspects

Very friendly people. Accomedation differs from real African to luxurous.
Especially our Tented Camp in Mikumi was outstanding.

Disadvantage : plastic bags are not allowed anymore but plastic bottles are really all over the place. What a rubbish!
