unique and enchanting experience
Our experience with Smile with us was fantastic and wonderful. Our guide was magnificent and led us to a unique and enchanting experience. We saw lots of animals: leopard, lion, giraffes, elephants, wildebeest etc... we had the opportunity to attend a lion hunt. We went as a family with our children and they loved this trip. I recommend.

Awesome nature, hearthfull people
We visited Mikumi and Selous, and I am so glad that we saw two different parks. Although we came in low season: we had terrific weather, warm, sunny with few short showers. Our guide Julius was such an elegant soul, and we completly surrender to his well planned guidance. We drive with animals just by our car: elefants, imaplas, monkeys, giraffes...and we even wittnesed rare scene: loness feeding her cubes with wild pig! Awesome!

Fantastic trip - amazing scenery & wildlife. Loved it!
As a slightly smaller national park, we were able to see most of Mikumi National Park and all that it has to offer. The scenery is stunning with open plains and mountains in the distance. Absolutely gorgeous for sunrise & sunset and Salum from Shanga Tours made sure that we saw all the wildlife the park had to offer. The accommodation in the park was basic, but very clean and the food

was fantastic! Second night we stayed in Camp Bastian close to Mikumi which was a little piece of paradise.Our hike in Udzungwa Mountains was amazing - we walked to the Sanje waterfall and were able to swim in the pool below them - a welcome break from sitting in our jeep for the previous 2 days. It was just over an hour each way from Mikumi and the hike took around 2-3 hours round trip so around a half day in total, but definitely worth it & actually wish we could have spent more time there, doing some of the longer hikes. Would really recommend visiting if you have the time as it was so different to the other national parks we visited and our guide gave us a great overview of the park & its wildlife (we even saw some of the endemic red colobus monkeys). Its also much quieter than the other parks - we were the only tourists on our hike that afternoon.
The final 2 days of our safari were spent in Nyerere National Park and again, credit to Salum at Shanga as we saw pretty much all the wildlife we could in the park. Scenery in Nyerere is really different than Mikumi, but no less stunning - including open plains, forests and wetlands. We did a sunset boat ride on the Rufiji river and got to see hippos at their most active! We stayed in Nyerere Tented camp, near the Mtemere Gate and it was amazing - the tents are much more luxurious than we expected and the food / communal spaces really made it a fantastic visit to Nyerere.
We spent a couple of days in Zanzibar at the end of our trip. It was rainy season so we stayed in Stonetown rather than head to the beached and really enjoyed our stay. Stonetown has a lot to see and do and it was easy to fill our two days there with good food, culture and historical sites.
Overall, we had a great time in Tanzania & would really recommend it. Would love to go back to visit some of the other parks and to spend some time Zanzibar in the dry season!

amazing
It was our first visit to Africa and have to say it was pretty amazing, first few days in Nyerere NP, cant described how much I loved it. Finally see all of those animals in wild, enjoy the moments in campsite after game drive, listen to sounds of bush. Highly recommend to everyone. People in camp were very nice and kind, service perfect. Also the weather was good, we have been bit afraid of it because rainy season has started but cant complain - perfect. After that we have spent some time on Zanzibar to enjoy time by the sea and explore the island. You will enjoy that island so much, you can make several trips around.

Beautiful country with very friendly people.
We visited Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. All great areas to visit. Saw tons of wildlife everywhere but the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are truly amazing. Got to see a few villages as well. Everyone is very friendly. A must see and do in your lifetime.

Two best days ever.
Zanzibar is a beautiful island with lovely people, but what did it for me was a day at ngorongoro and one and a bit in the serengeti hands down the best two+ days I've ever had.
