I Dream of Africa: Excellent Immersion Safiri - The Great Rift Valley, the Serengeti and more
The camping aspect wasn't roughing it: we called it glamping. The safari had an excellent camp cook, who prepared 3 hot meals a day, based on local produce. Because of the

altitude in northwestern Tanzania, sleeping was great: it was cool every night. Dawn and dusk were filled the calls of birds and monkeys in the trees overhead, and during the nights you could here the grazers and sometimes the predators moving. Each morning provided an interesting task of identifying the animals that had roamed right outside the tents and campsites from their tracks and scat.Here are some outstanding moments: dozens of forest elephants walking, running, trumpeting, and calling with low frequency infrasound right next to you; prides of lions with cubs, roaring at leopards with a kill in acacia trees; lions hunting wart hogs less than 40 meters away; adult and infant rhinoceroses in the forest; hiking with an armed ranger through cape buffalo herds and groups of giraffes in lion country; hundreds of wildebeests, impala, gazelle, zebra and buffalo; night safari to see civet cats, porcupines, bush babies and hippopotami out of water; birds of all kinds; baobob trees ... Visiting local towns and villages.
See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protected_areas_of_Tanzania for a list of species you are likely to see in each park mentioned above. You are likely to see everyone of them, and many more in the highly diverse environments in these parks, ranging from high altitude rain forests to broad grasslands and plains.
Fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport near Arusha to start.
It's a trip of a lifetime.

A memorable experience

English and French, experienced, skilled in 4-wheel driving, with his professionalism and knowledge of the bush (not to forget mentioning his table cloth and supply of coffee for the picnic lunches among the wild …), helped us witness memorable scenes of the wild life, including the migration of more than 100000 gnus, their crossing the Mara river on their way south to greener pastures. In 8 days we saw, in their natural habitat, all of the Big Five (lions, leopards, rhinoceros, bush elephants, African buffalos), many of the other African bush animals, the unique birds, baobab and acacia trees, and a lot more, we stayed in very comfortable tented lodges, slept under mosquito nets while outside the tent we could hear elephants, hyenas and other animals roaming and to top it all, we visited a Maasai village and learned about this Nilotic ethnic group’s distinctive customs. We ended our trip with 4 days on the island of Zanzibar, in a chalet overlooking the Indian ocean, where again Naiman’s team member, the young lady, Witness organised for us highly interesting visits in the historical Stone Town, the old slave market, a spice tour, … In a word, outstanding vacation.

Unforgettable and amazing 3 days safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks
I will keep a very good memory of this safari which went well . The endless plains of Serengeti and the particular site of Ngorongoro park located in a vast crater where I saw all species of gazelles ,buffalos, elephants , giraffes , lions , cheetahs , mongooses , fox , herds of zebras and wildbeest , only 1 rhino(in Ngorongoro), hippos , monkeys , hienas, etc.. many birds , ostrichs, etc . The weather was ideal and hot , no rain, a little colder in Ngorongoro . Hilda was the cook and prepared delicious and tasty meals especialy the soup.. the lunch box was ok too ; Freddy driver and guide has been a carefull driver and gave us a lot of information during all the safari ; both were frendly and helpfull . The campsites of Seronera and Simba were well equipped , only the sanitary of Seronera is to improve . The last day it was surprising to see an elephant and several baboons cross the campsite of Simba.. What an unforgettable safari ...

I got to see so many animals - cheetah, lion, servals, leopard, giraffe, zebra, wild hartebeest, warthogs, dik dik, impala, buffalo, hippo, chimps, baboons, plus more. Being in the wild they seem so much more alive than in safari parks in the UK. People were generally nice and I felt safe and welcome. Loved the food and didn't have any trouble being a vegetarian (this can be a problem in some countries). I got very close to some animals and had a pride of lions right next to my campsite in the Serengeti! Also, you get to see local culture too. All accommodation was clean, although hot showers were rare - but in that heat this wasn't a problem. I would go again in a flash.

The highlight of our trip through Tanzania!
We went on safari with adventure makers this past week for 3 days and 2 nights and really loved our experience. . Stephen was really responsive in emails and friendly. He came to get us from the airport when we landed and brought us to our hotel. We visited Tarangire, lake Manyara and then Ngorogoro crater on the last day. We saw so much wildlife (Lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras) as well as a ton of different birds. Our guide was knowledgable, attentive and very kind. The Ngorogoro crater is absolutely breathtaking- you travel through multiple ecosystems before descending into a beautiful grassland filled with wildlife. Lunches were provided during the day and at night the place we stayed was very comfortable and provided good food. Adventure makers provided an affordable, high value experience and I can't recommend them enough.

Seeing elephants wander through the plains in the pouring rain makes me rate our safari 11/10.
- We visited four places (Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara) and all of them were different in terms of landscape and animals. The endless plains of Serengeti really are endless and nothing beats the surreal feeling of being small and overwhelmed by the vastness of this park. Tarangire is golden, the combination of baobab trees and elephant families is everything. Ngorongoro gave us apocalyptic vibes and was home to hundreds of zebras and buffalo. Lake Manyara changed my hate to monkeys to eternal love to monkeys (baby monkey riding on its mom's back? COME ON).
- Camping is cool, especially if it's in the middle of nowhere. And toilets are really fine!
- Our cook's cooking was impressive. Making pizzas, quiche and tarts in the field kitchen? I couldn't even make a sandwich there.
- Our guide Prayer was the kindest. He was genuinely happy when

Magical, exciting fun adventure
We had the loveliest guide, Tommy. He went above and beyond to ensure we were having a lovely time on our trip. The wildlife was amazing and I loved that there were no fences around the parks. We stayed in beautiful accomodation and Sangaiwe was our favourite, especially waking up to hearing elephants.
We had amazing weather and can’t recommend this trip enough. Thank you Tanzania Specialist for making it so memorable!
