Amazing Wildlife, beautiful hotels and fantastic friendly guides
Every hotel we stayed in was out of this world - and we weren't staying in the best ones. Highlights were the amazing tented camp in the Serengeti, the Marera Valley Lodge and the suberb hotels on Zanzibar - Tembo Hotel in Stone Town and the Mahali Zanzibar by the beach in Paje.
We felt happy and well looked after on every day. Our guide, Karim, from Ozon Light tours drove us round for the whole of a 5-day safari. He was amazing - knowledgable, great fun and incredibly hard working. Each area had its own unique characters and beauty, but all had loads of wildlife. We saw lions in trees and beautfiful elephants at Manyara, loads of cheetah, lion and the incredible wildebeest migration in the Serengeti, stunning views at Ngorongoro with flamingoes and a hyena kill as highlights and then more lovely elephants

and baobab trees in Tarangire. The birds everywhere were also superb - particularly the Superb Starlings ;)And don't feel worried about booking your trip with a local Tanzanian tour operator. Everything was arranged perfectly and we had great communication with the tour company while planning the trip, after we'd booked, while were there, etc. We were able to make the trip bespoke to our dates and wants, transport was there exactly when they said it would be, the hotels they recommended were all amazing and good value and it worked out a lot cheaper than if we'd booked with a UK company that just add on their own margin. Tanzania is geared around giving tourists a great holiday and it is succeeding with this in every way.

Wild, welcoming and beautiful!
Tanzania has been a great surprise, wonderful scenes, wildlife, warm and welcoming people and good structure for tourists accommodation. Serengeti is definitely the best park to see wildlife in their true habitat, such a huge open space with so many possibilities of sightseeing, Ngorongoro crater is also very unique, we were happy to see a rhino and such a beautiful landscape. Tarangine was a bit smaller, but we were able to see a lot of wildlife too. After the Safari, we went to Zanzibar for some relaxing time and the beaches are paradisiac and beautiful, I will totally recommend to do both this experiences. We love Tanzania and we recommended and we plan to go back when we have kids.

Amazing
Tanzania is a wonderful destination. Our first visit to Africa, to find the warmest peolpe, fantastic food, unbelievable nature, and Luxury with the touch hotels.
Tanzania is a one in your life trip. We took the 6 day safari in 4 parks, sounds like a lot, but each park and each day came with the unknown from the nature. Always guided by Enok our guide who made this an unforgetable experience.

A once in a lifetime adventure!
We chose Lion King Adventures. The price was right, they went to all the parks we read about and they had great reviews. I had no idea we would be with our own guide and we hit the jackpot there. Mkwanda was so fun and he knew everything about everything I asked. We learned so much about the animals. He took us to all the good spots and having 13+ years of experience, he knows his stuff. We really bonded with him and he seemed to really enjoy how

much joy we got from the experiences. He also got us in perfect position for some great photo opps.We stayed for 6 nights and all of our accommodations were above and beyond our expectations. The lodges were beautiful, but I really loved the rented camps inside the parks. The rooms were just as nice as the lodges, but you were right in the middle of things. It was July, the weather was perfect. I brought a light fleece jacket and wore tank tops underneath and I was comfortable the whole time.
The culture is wildly different and so interesting to learn about. The hospitality is on a level that you won't believe.
If you're on the fence, GO!!!! I haven't been anywhere other than Tanzania and the only reason I'd go anywhere else is to see the great apes someday. It was safe, I never felt anything less than totally secure. The only thing I would do differently is bring more comfortable shoes, shoes that I already love and I would choose a package that was all tented camps.
This was an incredible, phenomenal, surreal experience and I'd go back in a heartbeat!!
