The wildlife was incredible and everywhere we looked. We saw all the animals we hoped to see and plenty of them. They all looked very healthy, well protected and respected in their natural environment.
The weather was great; hot and dry. The scenery amazing, exactly as we hoped. Accommodation was varied (some tents and some lodges) and all really good. We especially enjoyed the Mbugani Migration Camp in Serengety as we could hear the animals roaming around at night which made it more exciting !
We chose to use Benson Safaris and everything was very professional and organised from the start with no surprises. They even found and delivered our missing luggage for us at the airport and helped when our flight was cancelled unexpectantly. Our guide Peter was perfect. Well informed, professional and good natured. He is very easy to spend time with; and on safari you need to feel comfortable and safe with your guide as you are in the jeep for very long periods of time !

didn't really like the trip to the Masai village as it was very commercial but we loved meeting the Hadzabe bush tribe hunter-gatherers and learning about their culture.
We are a family of 5 (3 kids 21, 19, 14) and everyone absolutely loved the experience. We are already dreaming about returning as soon as it's possible ! Thank you Benson, Peter and Tanzania !

Roam Serengeti Safaris has organized us an outstanding journey through Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks.
Mussa was very responsive and thoughtful while email communication as well as while our trip. As a guide Mussa is extremely good - we saw all the big animals live in the parks, he shared with us a lot of interesting facts about flora and fauna, local specificities and customs - it was a pure pleasure listening him.
We had a nightly accommodation in a nice hotel, food, everything was just great!
We will definitely ask him as a guide the next time we visit Tanzania.

Regional Tours is the way to go. Although obviously not guaranteed, we saw the big 5 animals and many many more. There seemed to be a constant flow of some kind of animal to look at, and if not the scenery was always beautiful and unique to what I am used to. We went during the short rains period, but only got rained on once for maybe 10 minutes, but honestly I wouldn't have minded more. Seeing a small storm or rain clouds closing in on you from the plains of the Serengeti was just another surreal view. Our accommodations were more than enough. We chose the private luxary tour. Kubu Kubu was by far our favorite, but all were great. Food was enjoyable. The toyota land cruiser was nice and provided the two of us more than enough room. The best part of our safari was no doubt our guide. Novatus from Regional tours was the best, and he is no doubt what made our safari so incredible. Fun to talk to, super informative on anything, great sense of humor, interesting the list goes on. Looking

back on our safari i think the Tour guide could be a make or break for us, Nova made it what it was. We had so many highlights and our safari along with Nova will be in our memories forever. Thank you Regional Tours.

First of all we were 100% satisfied with Hello Tanzania Tours service from word go! They were nothing less than perfect right to the end and best priced in the market by a country mile! Tanzania as a country from the moment we landed at the airport and had to line up for visa, baggage collection etc was generally a struggle. The roads the heavy traffic, the culture shock, the poverty needed getting used to over the first few days and then the friendliness and genuine smiles and happiness of the people just captivated you and helped you ease into the vibe of the country. Jumbo and akuna matata two well branded words, went with the territory along with trying to avoid continuous street sellers asking for exorbitant prices for unwanted souvenirs and taxi rides.
A beautiful country in its own right, blessed with a heart throbbing wildlife and beautiful friendly and happy people despite their daily struggles, I felt however disillusioned by the exuberant prices tourists were expected

to pay for services that might cost less than half in other more developed tourist destinations. I don't care how high the season is, the prices being asked by hotels, some in Zanzibar were well above $1,000 per night, very nice granted but not any nicer than any hotel you might find in Dubai or Greece at high season.
Personally I was humbled how happy and genuinely positive and cheerful Tanzanians seemed in the face of abject adversity and poverty! That for me was priceless and something everyone in the developed world who correlates happiness with wealth and money should go and experience at least once a year as a reminder to themselves!
I hope to return and see other safari parks one day soon.
Thank you Hello Tanzania Tours for tirelessly bending over backwards to make this trip as memorable and accommodating as possible.
Asante!

My wife and I traveled to Tanzania for our honeymoon in August 2018. While we had high expectations for our trip, nearly every aspect of the trip exceeded those expectations. It’s one thing to read about Tanzania online, or view pictures of the wildlife you might encounter, but to be face-to-face with the animals on the Serengeti is indescribable. The people of the country were incredibly welcoming everywhere we went (not just in the tourist areas) and we cannot say enough about our guide. If you haven’t been to Tanzania we would highly recommend it. Shout out to Gosheni Safaris! They were amazing!

The beauty of Tanzania is breathtaking! The Serengeti and other national parks are well cared for and many conservation protections are put into place. Arusha is a vibrant town and the island of Zanzibar is purely beautiful. Tanzania's rich culture, ecosystems, beaches and cities offer something for all travelers. We traveled as a family with young children and we had an exciting and enriching experience while feeling safe in the areas we were travelling in. Would highly recommend this a country to visit!

Our tour guide helped us to get acquainted with african wildlife, stunning nature, traditions and customs of native people. I recommend everyone to choose Kili Serengheti Tours as their tour provider.
