We took an 8 day/7 night safari with SafariSoles followed by 5 days on Zanzibar. Both were amazing, 100% positive experiences!! SafariSoles was a fantastic company that let us design our own safari with very nice and comfortable hotels and tent cabins at an incredibly reasonable price. Our driver and guide - Kennedy - was also fantastic. He knew where to look for wildlife, when to stay and watch, and when to rush to another location to catch something rare. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the ecosystems and just a great all around guide. We also loved Zanzibar, both Stonetown and Matemwe Beach. We stayed at Emerson Spice hotel in Stonetown and Villa Kiva on Matemwe Beach. Both were great. We highly recommend the fish tasting menu at Emerson Spice's rooftop restaurant. It was really delicious and an incredible bargain. Villa Kiva is also great. Right on the beach with beautiful views and gardens, lots of nice places to relax, great food in the restaurant,

and very helpful at arranging a dolphin boat/snorkeling strip. We loved Tanzania and would happily go back.

We had an exceptional time. Our tour guide Florid and Safari Soles planned everything.
We enjoyed the upscale tenting places we stayed. Zebras and elephants in our front yard
The animals of course made the trip. We even saw a baby giraffe being born

We traveled to both Zanzibar and Tanzania mainland. We decided to plan most of the travel on our own which scared me. Even thought I am experienced in traveling around the rest of the world, I have never been to Africa and was not sure how things would work there. I can say you have absolutely nothing to worry. There are still pure soul people, I literally did not feel uncomfortable or in danger what so ever. You can book any daytrips at the beach from “beach boys” and everybody keeps their word and are punctual. In general, everybody was so willing to help us it’s unbelievable. Can’t think where to travel next after this experience.
Regarding safari, oh my gosh. We did Nyerere and Mikumi park and it was amazing. We booked extra night safari, but we probably expected way too much from that. It’s difficult to describe the experience but it’s beautiful to see these free animals living in the nature instead of the zoo. They are free and happy, just lovely. We did not

see lions in the 3 days we spent inside the parks (5 days trip total but 2,5 days we just spent traveling and braise yourself 😄). However we managed to see a leopard which was precious. Our guide Anthony from Bujo Tours was such a sweetheart. Very helpful but also giving us space to choose when we want to interact. Just a lovely experience.
Lemme warn you here - you are in the wilderness and behave like that. We encountered multiple animals in our camp including a buffalo. Always follow tips from the camps and have Masai people take you to your accommodation after dark. Always ask if the camp is fenced. And ENJOY. This experience is an unforgettable one 🥰

We enjoyed our safari through Paradise and Wilderness safari tours. We did a 4 day safari in Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National park. While we saw wildlife in all of the parks you can’t miss Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. If I could change one part of the itinerary I would skip Tarangire National Park and spend more time in the Serengeti. You will have amazing experience if you are willing to get up early and take your time on the game drives. Highly recommend Tanzania for safari and consider a private tour if it is your first time.

A great experience, our 10 day safari was seamless, food and accomedations were first rate. Will never forget the night a lion attacked something outside our tent. The sound will be inbedded in my mind for ever. Credit our great experience to our driver & guide Gerson of Kilimanjaro Adverture Safari Club. He did a great job looking after a couple of 80 plus year olds. We saw the big 5 plus many other birds and animals and would recommend this trip to anyone.

We had a really nice time in Tanzania. The landscapes are mind-blowing, people are very kind and humble, and the beaches are incredible. Zanzibar is a very safe place (at least in the area where we stayed, which is Kendwa). We stayed there 10 days and then went on a 3-days safari on the mainland. Overall, an unforgettable experience.

We travelled to Dar es Salam, a city of beaches, with great food.
We enjoyed an excellent boat ride from Dar to Zanzibar. Zanzibar was an island where white sand combined with blue/green water mesmerized us. The lanes of Stone Town and the Food in Lukeman Restaurant made an unforgettable combination.
The wildlife safari in Trarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro overtook all our expectations. We sighted Big Five, Zebra, Giraffe and almost all other animal habitats in East Africa. We can never forget the wildbeest migration across the Mara river.
Our tour operator, Meru Slopes, kept all their commitments and even more. Our guide cum driver Dunhil and our chef Dogong Dogo need special mention make our Safari memorable for years to come.

A wonderful safari trip from Zanzibar to Arusha.
We visited Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Park.
Everyone is different and different animals, but all charming and wonderful.
The organization and communication with Kilipath African Safari was perfect, no problem, everything was as we agreed. We had a driver Godfreie with whom we were safe and always tried to find animals to be close to us. It was an amazing experience.❤️
