Stunning wildlife and scenery and warm welcoming people
Amazing experience. Rainy season not so rainy and not crowded so a really peaceful intimate connection with animals and amazing photography opportunities. Great choice of places to stay and really friendly helpful staff everywhere we went.
Our tour company Soul of Tanzania was excellent. Great itinerary. Amazing guide (James Ellie) who was full of knowledge but not overbearing and very skilled at finding the highlights.

An other world
I booked a Safari for April. A driver picked me up at the airport and dropped and me at the hotel. I booked an 4 days 3 nights mid. class lodges Safari from Arusha to Tarangire N.P. , Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We were a group of 4 to 6 people. I traveled by myself so I was happy to meet other travelers. So I wasn’t so happy about it, that everybody in the group slept in their own lodge, especially if you travel alone. It’s nicer, if you can have dinner together after a great Safari day! But all the lodges I stayed at were great! The first driver Assat was great, he had a lot of knowledge. After the first day, the driver changed. The second driver Simba was great too! He was very engaged that we see a lot of animals. We saw monkeys, elephants, giraffes, lazy lions, zebras, hippos and many more. The weather was the most of the time sunny and warm. Only on the second day, when we drove to Serengeti, we had on our way one hour rain. But that was a great adventure too! I had a really good time.

Paradise
I went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire in low season. I was afraid that I won’t see lots if animals because it’s rainy season. Turns out the weather is great, just a little bit rain, saw lots of animals, perfect scenes, and saw the Great Migration too! It’s not the dramatic scenes when the animals are crossing the Mara river, but we did see the Great Migration. And we didn’t expect it since the internet is saying the great migration is only in certain months in the dry and ‘high season’. I guess they don’t refer to Serengeti. Turned out it’s a one year cycle and happen most of the time in Tanzania. To choose safari in Serengeti over Masai Mara was a tough decision considering the budget. It’s a blessing for me to finally be in Serengeti. The animals are not yet in Masai Mara on April and I got the chance to see the migration in so called “low season’. If I have this great experience in the low season, I wonder what it will be like in the dry season or ‘high season’. No matter what the season is, Tanzania is always a paradise

Tales of Tanzania
We went to Tanzania for a safari trip and came back with unforgettable memories! The safari was beyond expectations. Seeing animals in their natural habitat was blissful. From a group of 13(!) lion cubs chilling together under Serengeti's sunset to the elephant that stopped in front of our car in the Ngorongoro forest, or the buffalos visiting the lodges at night and the lion roaring in the background while we were having dinner at the lodge in the savanah, everything seems out of this world.
Beyond the game seeing experience, we have to thank and appreciate the hospitality of the locals. From the tour guides diligently narrating safari tales to the locals receiving us to their villages in Materuni and the Masais in Ngorongoro, everybody was very welcoming and accommodating.
The main attraction was the 2/3 days safari trip starting in Arusha, proceeding via Ngorongoro, then staying in South Serengeti for a full day and then coming

back through Ngorongoro and descending in the crater there. We've seen a wealth of antilopes (Eland - the biggest, Dik Dik - the smallest), lions, elephants (lots of them), giraffes and probably thousands(!) of zebras and gnus - while following the road in Serengeti we crossed straight through an immense heard of them.In addition the safari trip we also had a short hike on Kilimanjaro, visited the Materuni village where we MADE coffee end-to-end, from peeling the coffee seed to brewing the coffee powder, visited the Materuni waterfall (perhaps the tallest in the region if I'm not mistaking), had great fun and the Kikuleta springs and took photos with animals, fed them and pet them (yes) at a resort near Kilimanjaro.
All in all, dreamy experience, first contact with Africa and safaris, felt safe throughout our trip and came back home with a strong desire to write another chapter of Tales of Tanzania.

Tanzania, with its diverse wildlife and magical landscapes, evokes deep emotions with every encounte
That evening, we stayed in a little corner of paradise after an excellent meal. The next morning, a gentle walk brought us to the lake’s edge, where hundreds of flamingos offered a magical spectacle. On the way, we passed zebras, gazelles, and wildebeests resting in this peaceful, timeless place.
Then we headed to the Serengeti, the long-awaited park. From the very first day, the landscapes and wildlife

took our breath away. The long hours on the road faded away thanks to everything there was to see. That night, we stayed in a camp in the heart of the park, lulled to sleep by the sounds of lions and nearby hippos.The second day exceeded all expectations: animal encounters at every turn, and just when we thought it was over, more surprises appeared. A cozy campfire closed out the evening before another wonderful night in a beautifully appointed tent under the stars.
Next, we made our way south in the Serengeti to witness the great wildebeest migration. The experience was breathtaking. We enjoyed a brunch on the hood of the car, surrounded by endless wilderness—a truly unforgettable moment. That evening, we reached a new lodge just in time for a stunning sunset.
Our final safari day took place in the Ngorongoro Crater. After a long ascent, an extraordinary view unfolded: a vast, protected caldera with a lake, green grasses, flowers, and abundant wildlife. It felt like paradise, shielded from the outside world. A perfect ending to our journey.
Tanzania revealed its treasures to us little by little, with gentleness and wonder, allowing us to take it all in without rushing. Throughout this incredible journey, our guide Goodfrey was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. He made the experience all the more special.
A heartfelt thank you to Serengeti-African Tours, who listened to us during the planning, welcomed us on arrival, and supported us throughout the trip. This journey truly lived up to all our expectations

The dream of a child
Going on a safari in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater was one of the best experiences of my life. Since I was a child, I dreamed of seeing animals in the wild, like in the movies—but being there exceeded all my expectations. The vast landscapes, the incredible biodiversity, and the deep respect for the animals create a unique connection with nature. The Serengeti has a special energy that’s hard to describe, and the Ngorongoro Crater feels like a world of its own, full of life. It’s a journey that stays with you forever. Absolutely recommended.

Amazing experience in Tanzania
Tanzania was absolutely amazing. We saw so many animals in their natural habitat and because we went during the rainy season, the scenery was so picturesque!
The trees and the flowers made the backdrop of our Safari drives look like something out of a movie. We are looking forward to going this again in the near future :)
