I went on this trip with my friend Olivia and we have been talking about it for years.
We spent 6 days visiting Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater.

It was difficult to make a choice but finally we went with Earthlife and it has been a super positive experience. We were picked up at 3 am at the airport by our driver and guide Daniel and he stayed with us for the entire stay, drove us safely to Tarangire where we spotted our first elephants and Cheetahs. We saw more animals in Lake Manyara and enjoyed our 2 night stay in Tented camps with hot showers twice day.
During the entire trip, we had good meals and did feel completely safe.

Our guide Daniel has been a great 'travel companion' as well. He was great in spotting animals, explain us how they hunt or what they eat. He was patient and very kind and we also got to know how locals live and what life is like in general.

I can only say the very best about

We visited TANZANIA in January 2018. The place covered were Lake Manyarra, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti, and Ndutu. We booked through Safaribookings and I must say it was a wise decision. Our operator Earthlife Expedition delivered all which was promised. I routinely conduct a photographer tour in East Africa since 2014, and I must acknowledge that this was my best tour as organiser. Apart from enjoying the wide variety of Wildlife, the smooth flow of the itinerary and great hospitality provided by all camps was just heartening.
I definitely recommend TANZANIA to everyone.
Already, I have booked my safari group to visit TANZANIA in February 2019. And hope to explore its beauty once again.

Perfect 3 days safari

Me and my husband did 3 days safari at Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Crater an Lake Manyara NP with Migtation Venture Africa. All three parks are different but very beautiful with loads of animals and birds.
Weather was just perfect, around +27 °C. No need for long sleeves, trousers or boots.
We had very profesional, friendly and patient guide Anderson. After a while he knew where and when to stopp a car to take best pictures of animals.
Accomodation was in a tented camp. It was basic but there was everything we needed.

My first safari experience was indeed a wonder, we have visited Serengeti park and Ngorongoro Crater as planned, and National park Tarangire, which was not originally in the plan, but our guide changed it according to update on animal quantity, which we were very grateful for! Tarangire NP was great, even though its area is relatively small, the richness of wildlife was enormous, number of elephants was the highest I have ever seen!!!
We have been staying in tents for the whole time, which was very adventurous, unfortunately there was quite a lot of rain during the nights and in Serengeti park there was quite some water coming through the bottom of our tent. Due to that we did not sleep that much that night, but the morning animal watching compensated it hundred percent, the chance to see the cheetah family on one side of the road and lion family on the other side was just stunning!
We were very grateful for the services of our guide China, who was very helpful and always
Read more did everything he could for us to have the best pictures and told us many interesting things about the area and the animals we saw.
We also had our cook to prepare meals for us everyday, which was very nice. Since we have chosen the budget form of safari, this was quite, what we have been expecting. Only thing was that our stomach were obviously not that expecting that and this made some of the meals difficultly digestible. Together with the one wet night in Serengeti made the day really an adventure, which was not super pleasure.
However, as I was saying, the animals and the nature were so stunning, that we were able to go through everything.

It is a great vacation trip! We see a lot of wildlife and beautify scenery of Africa! We highly recommend it. Our guide and driver are very good at identifying wild animals. They have a great knowledge of wildlife animals, we learn a lot from them. The accommodations and transportations exceed our expectations, very comfortable.

My husband and I booked a safari with Ascon Safari and it was one of the best things we did in Tanzania. Not only that the wildlife and the nature is stunning (really - it is such an unforgettable experience that you shouldn't miss, especially when you're from another continent), our guide Amani was the best! He was so knowledgeable and very kind - we have so much to be greatful to him, as we're sure that without him we wouldn't have had this experience, that much fun and wouldn't have leant so much. He knew how to find almost all the animals and gave us so much insight about the wildlife but also culture in Tansania. It is such an amazing experience to see an elefant, a hippo or lions just some meters away. On top of this we even were so lucky that we saw wilddogs, which apparently does not happen that often. The stay was really nice as well, very luxurious (maybe even a bit too luxurious, considering in the middle of the wildeness).

I went on a 3 day safari to Mikumi and Udzungwa National Parks with couple of friend in January 2018. The two parks are not the most famous but are interesting, especially Udzungwa Mountain with its equatorial forests and endemic species. Mikumi NP hosts most of the typical savanna species and we observed most of them. As an ecologist I was interested in all species and especially birds so I was delighted to observed and photograph a lot of them. The logistics of the safari were excellent. We stayed at Bastian lodge at the edge of Mikumi NP. Our driver from and to Dar es Salaam was very careful on the road and his driving was very safe.
I can strongly recommend Hello Tanzania and if going again to Tanzania for sure will use their services again.

No better place to go on safari

We booked a private guide/driver through Ruge, an independen in Arusha. The guide for us was Dixon. Dixon was the finest guide we have had and we have traveled the world. He used to be a porter for groups climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and is working to earn his degree. We chose the Ngorongo Crater as home base and that proved to be the best of all options. At this time of the year (January) the migration is only 2 hours west of the crater. Thus, you have day trip access to the crater itself (actually much better game viewing there than Serengeti), Serengeti and Lake Manyara, three distinctly different ecosystems. We chose the Ngorongo Neptune Lodge, which rates among the best 2 lodges we have stayed in worldwide. This combination proved to be the best one I can possibly imagine. We have been on previous safaris to Kruger in South Africa and Botswana. We had the luxury of our personal guide, a pop up Land Rover and a 5 star resort which was all inclusive. The total cost for 5 days
Read more and 4 nights, including pick ups and drop offs at Mt. K Airport, was $4400, or $2200 per person, a tremendous bargain for this fine adventure. We added 2 days in Nairobi, including tours of the Sheldrick Elephant Sanctuary and Giraffe Center, for another $450 pp. We coordinated all this on our own, which goes to show you can pull together a customized, week long trip to Kenya and Tanzania without blowing your whole wad. We also got great fares from Kayak.com on Airline tickets.

We had a 7 day safari to Tanzania (Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti), followed by 5 days in Zanzibar. We chose a local company - World Air Travel and Tours - and could not be happier with our choice. From the start we had their support to our planning questions, helping us tailoring our trip with very timely, open and honest information which was fantastic. From day 1 upon arrival until our return we had full support in a seamless journey.
Our driver for the safari was Jon - an amazing knowledgeable guide, driver, and ultimately friend - he went out of his way to make the journey fantastic for us, and we were lucky to see the Big 5 but also a number of other nice surprises which made it all the more extraordinary. We have only the best to say about Jon, World Air Travel and Tours and their manager Elias - these guys do an outstanding job of promoting Tanzania and helped making this the best holiday we ever had!!
We definitely recommend visiting Tanzania and we
Read more certainly hope to return to this magical land which has stayed in our hearts and minds since.
