Udzungwa, Ruaha and Mikumi Safari
We booked a 6-Day-Budget-Camping-Safari with Grassroots and had a wonderful time in Tanzania. Compared to Namibia where we have been the year before Tanzania appears to have a lot more wildlife. We wanted to go to the south and stay away from the more tourist flooded and expensive parks in the north - which turned out to be a good idea. In Tanzania all the parks and the camps in the parks are not fenced and you get a much closer feel of being part of nature. With a knowledgable and safe guide/driver we never had any problems and lots of really beautiful and close wildlife encounters.
On the downside - the prices were reasonable but it was a lot of driving. While you get to see a lot of the real Tanzania outside the tourist areas - it was also quite exhausting to spend so much time in the car driving through half of the country from Daressalam and from park to park.

Awesomeness
We went to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro on a 4-day safari. It’s not everyday you get to see two lions eating wildebeest for breakfast and sleeping on a tent next to grazing cattle and zebras. It’s definitely an amazing experience that I will never forget.

OurNorthern Tanzania Luxury Lodge Safari booked by Beatus at Donak Safaris was excellent
We have just returned from an amazing safari with Donak Safaris starting with our first night in Arusha, 1 night in Tarangire, 1 night in Lake Manyara, 2 nights in Serengeti and 1 night Ngorongoro. Our guide Yusuph was excellent very helpful and knowledgeable with a knack of finding the best places to view the Big 5 and we saw them all. We received a welcome note from Yusuph a couple of days before we traveled which was a nice personal touch. Every destination had its high lights and we wouldn't have changed a thing, except not finding the Tree Climbing Lions in Lake Manyara, but they are wild animals and we know they don't 'appear to order' !. I had always wanted to see the sunrise over the Serengeti, I saw it twice and I wasn't disappointed. The biggest surprise was Ngorongoro we entered the crater as the sun began to rise, it was a magical experience and we saw many more animals than we expected including hippos walking from one waterhole to another a

sight you do not see very often. We traveled with our 27 year old daughter and have all been on safaris in other countries before but our experience with Donak did not disappoint, the planning was excellent and not a minute of our holiday was wasted.We were all impressed with the excellent toilet facilities provided at the picnic areas in all the parks we visited.
Staff at all the lodges we stayed in were very welcoming and helpful.

Incredible opportunity to view African animals up close.
I chose a safari with Wildlands Safaris, which I selected after viewing the options available through Safari Bookings. Our safari was excellent! I couldn't believe how close we got to those amazing wild animals. The guide did everything he could to make sure we saw everything we possibly could. We couldn't have asked for better accommodation, food and service along the way. I would highly recommend this company.
Beautiful place
The parks are great here. Loads of lions around. Friendly people. Good times.
We loved it
Very nice camp, real Safari feeling, very nice staff. Very reliable service, nice to be off the beaten track.

I have dreamed about going on safari since I was a child and it was everything I dreamed of!
This trip for my daughter and me was truly amazing. The wildlife, the scenery and the whole Tanzanian experience was a trip off a lifetime. The Tanzanian people are very friendly and helpful. We were lucky to witness the migrating wildebeest river crossing, the amazing cats, elephants giraffes, zebras, rhinos and many more species. The tented camps allowed us to fall asleep to the sounds of hippos and lions in the nighttime background. We became friends with our private driver, Daudi Majengo, who had an uncanny ability to locate the animals we wanted to see. The Tanzanian government has done a great job preventing poaching and protecting these amazing animals. After our safari we flew to Zanzibar to tour Stone Town and Zanzibar's beautiful beaches, a great way to end a tremendous expedition.

Beautiful country
We took the 4 day selous game reserve safari and could not have been more pleased! Our guide Appolo was fantastic!! All of the accommodations were wonderful and the food was great!! The staff at all the lodges went out of their way to make sure you were taken care of!! We were able to see all kinds of wildlife! (Got within 10 ft of a pair of lions)!! We were never rushed and our guide did all he could to get us good pictures. The weather was perfect!! From the first email to get things started till we were dropped back off at our hotel everyone was helpful and the experience was great!!! I would not hesitate to take this safari again!!
