Beautiful Country
I have just come back from a truly remarkable safari in Tanzania. The country is blessed with everything from scenic landscapes and beautiful animals to stunning sandy beaches. An excellent choice for people wanting to go on Safari for their first time.

The density of animals is amazing. The first day or two we were overwhelmed by the variety of animals. My lasting impression is of the number of animals. The enormous herds of zebras, cape buffalo and elephant. I counted over 300 elephants crossing a dried lake.

Tanzania has such a varied animal life that no one will take a game drive and come away disappointed. I'm not a birder, but even I saw so many different species of birds that I was blown away and would certainly consider coming back just to learn more about birds. Sadly, some places are completely overrun with tourists, but if you have a good guide, they'll manage to steer you places where you can still be alone with whatever animal you want to see. Tanzania is not a cheap place to visit, though, especially if you want to hit the more popular national parks, but I'm sure that doesn't come as a surprise to anyone.
Tanzania was an amazing country to visit. The people were friendly, the food was wonderful, and the wildlife that we saw was awesome. We visited 4 parks while there, and each one had its own unique character. Our guide was also great - seemed like he was really focused on the well being of the animals as well as teaching us about the environment.

Wildlife, scenery, birding, accommodations, and safari guide all exceeded my expectations
During our safari, we visited the Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire Park. All had so much to offer, wildlife, more birds than I have ever seen anywhere, and beautiful scenery. My personal favorite was the Serengeti, which means endless plains, with the acacia trees, kopjes, and so much wildlife. Our tent camp was such a delightful experience, one I shall not forget. Our knowledgeable guide was very helpful in finding so many animals, birds, and gave us plenty of time to watch and photograph the behavior of these magnificent animals. We also visited a Masai village. We were given a tour of the village by the Masai people, including their school, and living quarters, which was very interesting.

Amazing wildlife in North Tanzania

that lunch is often served later then our usual noon hour that those of us in the US may be used too. We did not have much chance to try the local food, but hotel provided excellent Indian food. Transportation from Kilimanjaro airport to Tarangire, Lake Maynara, Ngorogoro were paved and smooth with minimal traffic issues. But the road between Ngorogoro and Serengeti was the worse bumpy gravel road on our trip. The roads around Lake Natron were unpaved dirt paths that often required detours through dry river beds that made it necessary for a good 4x4 all terrain vehicle, much like the US forestry roads are unimproved in the US. Our guide was very experienced and spoke good English, he was friendly, and knowledgeable about all the local wildlife and plants. Tanzania is a great country to visit for safari because almost everyone in the tourism industry speaks English, the country is very stable and safe, there is a wide variety of climates with various types of animals that can be visited all within a few days to a week of travel, and the people are very friendly.

I don't know if my visit was an exceptional one (I saw everything I hoped to and lots more) BUT I suspect you are almost guaranteed to see the bigger animals....and at close range! I would recommend a trip to Tanzania to anyone. Wonderful people and landscape!

The wildlife viewing in the Tanzanian National Parks is unparalleled.
