I was quite dissapointed of Arusha. The city is a transient hotspot and not at all safe or even nice. Its the gateway to Kilimanjaro and Safaris. The food is really bland and not so good.

We did a 7-day safari with African Big Cats Safaris. It was truly a very impactful time in Tanzania. An amazing place full of natural wonders and impactful experiences. We totally loved it all, it’s far too much to try to describe here, just something you have to experience. Endene was a great guide throughout!

We were a group of two families and made a round trip in Tanzania: Start at Arusha - Tarangire National Park - Serengeti (central and west) - Ngorongoro Crater - end at Arusha (flight to Zanzibar).
It was an amazing trip! We have been in South Africa, Namibia, Kenia, Eswatini and Lesotho several times before. But Tanzania and especially the Serengeti was the best of all! We saw a lot of lions, cheetahs and a leopard even with their babies - so cute! Our lodges were very nice and good located except our lodge for visiting the Ngorongoro crater. It was outside the crater, what I could not recommend. It was not fare away but it took us hours to go there because of the traffic and the road conditions. We felt always safe. Our tour operator was Roadside Tanzania. Our guide had good connections to other guides so that we always were informed very well about any sightings in the parks!
We finished our trip with a relaxing week in Jambiani at Zanzibar in a small boutique hotel. Overall it was a fantastic journey and we would love to come back!

Tanzania was surprisingly diverse in culture and everything and scenically beautiful.

We booked a 5-day Safari Trip with African pangolin safaris. The Trip included 2 days Mikumi NP and 3 days Nyerere NP. It was only the 3 of us with our guide/driver and that was such a good choice. We were very flexible regarding (lunch) breaks while the game drive and the drive from one park to another. The weather was perfect for a safari trip, it was warm like 22-25 °C and sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, so very nice to be outside the whole day.
While Mikumi was a perfect start to see a lot of different animals (we were lucky and also saw lions on our first day there) Nyerere was a nice add on to that. In Nyerere there was more variety in the landscape, so more like bush and forests, but also steppes and meadows. Some lakes for crocodiles and hippos were there also. It was a guarantee to see different animals, but less than before because of the number of trees and bushes. If you could see anything it was so close, but thats an amazing feeling.
It was our first safari
Read more Trip, but certainly not the last. We would recommend going there in August. And not to worry about the moskito situation, we bought some moskito repellent in Tanzania for about 2000 Schilling and it lasts way more than 10 days. Furthermore there weren`t that much moskitos and all rooms were sprayed in the evening by the hotel staff.
We completed our holidays by flying to Zanzibar for another 9 days and liked the island as much as the safari.
So in conclusion Tanzania was a great destination for an unforgettable holiday trip.

We had a great time with a very experienced driver. Made sure we got to see the action wherever it was. Kind and calm guide, with a sense of humor. The safari package we got was absolutely to our expectations. We went for a more affordrable package, and boy did we get value for money. 3 days i think is more than enough for a safari.

Nice place, the worst services in whole Africa safari regions

1 / 5 1 /5
5 / 5 3 / 5 5 / 5 2 / 5

Terrible experience with the Safari company MAKINI company, Tanzanians asking for a lots of money with very poor services, much better the safaries in South Africa or Kenia. Parks are managed by the Government and if you sleep in the Camps its own your risk, animals in between the tends, most of the time not water in the public toilettes...dirties etc. Food prepared by Cookers in a vey lack of hygene conditions, roads are terrible, but Tanzanian Gov, gets 45,00 Usd for each tourist going in the parks.

I don't know if you see the above mentioned comments cause I tend to think this site its manipulated

My second trip to Africa in 2025

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 4 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5

This is my second time I been to Africa in year of 2025, but this time I go with my mom, dad and students of my mother's psychology studio. Overall the trip was amazing, the children were love the view in the Tanzania. Like Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. They saw most of the animals of the Africa and the views of the national parks. At the meantime, children were also like the Zanzibar as well. Not only the tour of the Stone City, but also they enjoy the beach and snorkelling as we saw the beautiful view under the sea and we got the star fishes as well. The drivers in safaris are relatively due diligence. They take us to feel the magnificent view and introduce the different types animals on the Great Savannahs of Eastern Africa. Also the tour guide Kennedy at Zanzibar helped us to change hotel as well, and bring us to the different places on Zanzibar island.

Finally, I appreciate Zanzi Trekking your sincere service and I wish I can visit more views in Tanzania in the future. It was great pleasure to meet you.

Beautiful contry lack of services, expensive, corrupted

1 / 5 1 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5

Be prepared if you intend to go in Tanzania, in terms of services its very poor, and it has got the higher costs in between South Africa and Kenia safari whom are much more organized affordable, better food, better transportation.
