Tanzania User Reviews

Tanzania has the most parks to explore and they are not fenced like other locations. Also there are many local tribes with fascinating cultures and the people are friendly!

An amazing experience. We used Safari Legacy tours with Norman as our guide. He adapted our itinerary once he saw that we had 3 serious photographers and we were not interested in relaxing by the pools and eating. We were there for game drives!
Most mornings we left our tented accommodations before sunrise taking box breakfasts and boxed lunches. We only returned after the Parks closed and we had to leave. We saw all of the "Big Five", Lion, Leopard, Cape Buffalo, Rhino and Elephant. We also saw cheetahs. Fantastic!! One disappointing aspect is that visitors are required to leave most of the parks by 6 pm (4 pm Ngorongoro). This is to respect the wildlife and not have visitors interfering with predators hunting. The downside for photographers is that the best light is from 6:30 am to about 9 am and from 4:30 to 7 pm.
In total I shot over 4,000 images using 2 cameras which is >120 GB. Luckily I brought both a laptop and an external HD.

Tanzania is the place to go for a safari. You will see an abundance of wildlife and when you are traveling to each destination the culture and the scenery is amazing.

Tanzanias parks are the African safari par excellence. The cities leave something to be desired, but if you want the true game drive experience, Serengeti and Ngorongoro are as good as it gets. I enjoyed Tarangire immensely too.

Animals roam free throughout Tanzania. Humans are simply observers in their world. The Tanzanian people are friendly and always smiling. The accommodations offer all the comforts of home.

Tanzania is a really great safari destination. We've seen a lot of wildlife, the Tanzanian people are very nice and it has great accommodations. We combined it with cultural activities (like spending the night in a Masai village and walking safari with Masai warriors) and Zanzibar beach (including diving) So for us it was ideal and we had a fabulous trip.

This was my first visit to Africa, so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I found Tanzania to be as wonderful as I was expecting it to be. My final tally after two weeks was 180 bird species and 35 mammal species, and these impressive totals are hardly unusual. The parks are largely unspoiled, and if you travel in the low season (I went in early March, which is a slow period) you don't have to worry about the overcrowding that can happen in the more popular parks. (All the safari drivers talk to each other by radio to report interesting sightings, so when something exciting is seen there can be a minor traffic jam. The closest to that that I saw was at a kopje where a mother leopard was playing with her two cubs; about ten safari vehicles gathered at the base to watch her. But most of the time, we could drive along and not see any other vehicles.)

Beautiful Country

Tanzania is breathtakingly beautiful and I highly recommend visiting. The wildlife and scenery are very diverse. The weather was very good. About 80 degrees and sunny with a breeze every day. The accommodations were fantastic. The food is so good, I miss it! If you're thinking about going to Africa, Tanzania is the place to go!
