Great safari, but be careful with tipping in Zanzibar

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 0 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5
Wildlife in Tanzania was incredible: we saw a lot of animals (lions, giraffes, hippos, zebras, leopards, etc.) and beautiful landscape like the plains of Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. We did a safari with "Bestday Safari" and made great experiences with them: delicious food, awesome guide, game drive in a great car. Overall it's a safe country with nice people, although on Zanzibar you have to pay attention to the people selling all kinds of stuff (from snorkeling tours to marihuana): they are sometimes a bit annoying, although you probably have people wanting to sell you stuff all over the world. What we really didn't like was the thing about tipping: no one is going to do anything for you without wanting to be tipped. We arrived for example at the airport in Zanzibar, went out of the building and got asked by a guy in safety vest what we were looking for. And just thinking that someone in safety vest working for the airport was probably trying to help us was
Read more a mistake. Of course he wanted to have money from us afterwards, like a lot of people do. So pay attention if someone really wants to help you or is actually just looking for your money.

Spectacular Wildlife and Birds

4 / 5 4 /5

We spent 2 days in Tarangire, 4 days in Serengeti and a day in Ngorongoro Crater. We went with Soul of Tanzania as they had been the most responsive and patient with our queries. Our guide Huruma was fantastic with amazing eyesight. He spotted a lot of wildlife for us including birds. Counted over 50 new birds on this trip. We also managed to witness the Wilderbeests crossing. Being an avid birder, this was a great plus. Soul of Tanzania were very efficient in solving our problems. We were however, disappointed with Nimali Camp at Tarangire as they put us in tent 9 which did not have enough power for a hair dryer. We were supposed to go for a night drive but we cancelled it as the lodge manager asked us to use a hair dryer in his office! Imagine showering in your tent late after a game drive and having to get changed and walk to the office to get your hair done! The power at Nimali also tripped when we plugged in our devices to charge. Tents 1-8 had enough power for a hair dryer. The lodge
Read more manager should have put us in one of the other tents as none of the other guests was going for a night drive. Really no common sense! Our other lodges, Chaka Kiowa and Chaka Camp were good with Kiowa having slightly better service. Ngorongoro Garmhouse was fabulous with a good spread of food at meals. The only negative feedback is that they didn’t provide tissue paper. Sanctuary Ngorongoro tent is one of the 5 inside the Ngorongoro Crater and they were just fabulous. They even had hot water put into the tank in the morning so that we didn’t have to wash our faces in freezing water. African Tulip where we stayed for the front and back end of our tour was good.

Lifetime experiece to see the wild animals so close in their natural habitat!

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 4 / 5 5 / 5 3 / 5

The land of natural wonders.
I did a 4 day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and was able to spot all the animals very close except rhino. But is understandable that due to illegal poaching their numbers have been significantly reduced and according to our guide there were just 10-20 Rhinos left in the area. As they are also shy creatures, we were just able to witness one sleeping in the grass. Apart from that, we crossed numerous pride of linos, herds of elephants, crash of hippos, cape buffaloes and a couple of leopards.

If you ever think of a safari trip, Serengeti is a must!

We've been traveling to Tanzania in May 2019 with Lem Carnivores tours.
First of all, we visited 2-days safari: first day in Ngorongoro and then Tarangire. After that, we had 7-days climbing to Kilimanjaro by Machame route. After all these activities we moved to Zanzibar, but this part was planned by us.
We had a great experience by choosing Lem Carnivores. Vicent was very polite and customer-oriented.
All the sightseeings were very unusual and terrific. There won't be enough space in review to describe all the feelings and emotions, but Tanzania is definitely worth visiting! (Especially with Lem Carnivores :) )

Tanzania and the northern circuit are great. Lot of wildlife, nice people and an ever changing scenery. We found mild weather, great lodges and good food. Roads are everything from completely new to terrible. Expect no more than 30 kph average after entering ngorongoro area. Guiding was great und reliable, we always felt safe and well taken care of.

Visiting the Mikumipark from Daresalaam for a 3-day safari is highly recommended.

We were in this park from the 16th to the 18th of April, during the rainy season. Our guide had preferred this over Selous in this time. The park is located in a wide Savanna the animals have enough water and we have seen many, even though we were only a day in the park. A good choice during this time. But we also had little rain and there were many great photos of giraffes, zebras, wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, hippos and crocodiles, but also birds. The accommodation with Camp Bastian was also a great surprise. The food was good.
