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
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.

The ultimate honeymoon destination
We had an amazing time in Tanzania. We did both safari and Zanzibar beaches.
For the safari, we travelled to multiple parks (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater) and saw all of the wildlife. It was a perfect time to go with so many newborn animals, less traffic, and the weather was great. I was surprised at how much wildlife we saw, much more than expected. The one thing to mention is that the Serengeti is extremely dusty, so pack scarves despite the heat. It will save your lungs.
It was also ideal for us as we were able to use USD and everyone spoke English. We felt 100% safe the entire time.
Zanzibar was amazing as well. The island was completely different from mainland and very relaxing. The island is much more tourist-focused, so something to keep in mind with interactions and experience. We still enjoyed every moment.
I will treasure Tanzania and the safaris we had forever. The people, food, and environment were truly something special.

An enjoyable trip...
Our Tanzania vacation was great. We enjoyed seeing the Big 5 and many other animals. Wilda beasts and Zebras galore during migration. We saw 2 animals when we were on the hot air balloon. It was a fun experience. The landings are bumpy! The problem we had was that there were controlled burns while we were on safari. Many areas were filled with smoke which made sighting more difficult. The accommodations were superior but there was a lot of backtracking from parks to hotel. I would recommend a fly in safari or staying on site in the parks if possible. The tour guides were exceptional; Chris, Eric, Enoch, and Christian. Enoch was exceptionally kind, helping mom (83 years old) climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro! On our extra day we went to Serval Wildlife Rescue Park. A hands on experience; touch, pet and feed giraffes, impalas, an adult male lion, and many other animals.

A Lion King come to life experience
I had my trip to Tanzania with my boyfriend in November , right in the beginning of the rainy season , but it wasn't a big deal for the Safaris
Even tough it would be raining in the city somedays because of altitude it was always sunny in the parks with a cool weather , so I liked it a lot
We booked a 3-day safari with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club , D was our driver/guide/ranger
We went to Ngorongoro , Tarangire and Maynara . Each park was very different from the other so for a 3-day trip I would recommend this itinerary.
We got to see from close distance all 5 uglies and 4 of the big 5 .. Black Rhino was hard to spot and we only saw it once but from a very long distance.
About other tourism highlights I can only say about the hotel , which they had a dance and acrobatics performance every evening. We didn't go outside the hotel to the city and I wouldn't recommend it.
Also there is a very strong tipping culture everywhere wich came as a surprise for us in the beginning.

Excellent experience
Excellent experience, so many lions seen in Serengeti NP incl. lions family, all animals from Big 5 seen, really great overnight stay with excellent dinner and view from luxury tent in Serengeti NP in Intimate Camp Seronera. Safe adventure by sleeping in the tent in Ngorongoro Simba Campsite (Elephants, Giraffes, Monkeys around the campsite). At the last day of our trip - Mt. Kili trek to Mandara Hut: I expected some views, nevertheless it is mainly walk through the forest with almost no views. There was not done a side trip to Maundi Crater as announced, but there was quite rain at the time of being at Mandara Hut. Whole trip was very well organized by co. see-adventures, well managed by Justin. Great experience in jeep shared for 6 persons, Very tasty full board. Thank you for opportunity to be there, really enjoyed.
