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.

Felt safe throughout our whole trip, everybody was really friendly, food was brilliant, and most places accept USD which made life pretty easy.

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!

Tanzania is a bit more touristic than Kenya, but it also has alot more gamereserves. If you realy want to see the big 5, the best chance is in Tanzania. I only needed 1 day in the Serengeti and 1 day in the Ngorongoro Crater to see all of them.
For birders, its a real paradise. I was lucky to see more then 130 different kind of birds in less then two weeks.

The roads were really Ok. The guide was very well educated and dedicated to protect the wildlife. We did not see any single waste on the road or elsewhere. Even no smoking person. The parks are so big. You are almost lost inside.

Our first visit, would equate to Botswana, high quality wildlife viewing, great camps and stunning scenery. Will be back, successful 'River Crossing' next time.

It is hard to imagine that such places still exists coming from the western world
I saw all the big five and all the rest in big quantities. The sceneries were breathtaking. It was quite wet, humid and cold at times. You really need warm clothes. Accommodation was very good, but I also choose to stay in mid-range to luxury accommodation. Food was good most of the time. The guide was very knowledgeable, good company and always in a good mood. He was also an excellent driver and gave us always a feeling of safety. The absolute highlight was Ndutu and Serengeti amongst the other highlights.
