To go on a Safari with a operator was a fantastic experience and so worth it. We chosed 4 days with budget camp and are so satisfied. It was well organized and we met people from all over the world. A knowledgeable guide drived the jeep through these three fantastic national parks and let us see many different animals. There is so whole experience was beyond expectations.

The safari we went on was fantastic. We got to see a huge variety of wildlife. We visited in June and the weather was very pleasant and the main tourist season hadn't built up. A barrier to Tanzania is the airport security which seemed pretty disorganised as well as a compulsory insurance tax for going to Zanzibar which seemed basically like a scam. Speaking of Zanzibar, while mainland Tanzania was welcoming , had lovely people and accommodation , Zanzibar Island is poorly designed, overrun with people and doesn't look particularly safe to get out and about on. Our recommendation would be to skip the post safari on Zanzibar and go somewhere safer and more beautiful on the way home.

When we have done some great amount of research of the different locations and the various operators that offer the Safari experience. Since we love to plan everything on our own the research took some decent effort but as we we have analyzed it was worth it. From the flight from Zanzibar to Tanzania Nyerere starting the experience with a very cool relaxed Guide as Abduli the first day was amazing so while going to sleep we asked ourselves? "Is it going to be like this 3 days"?! The answer is Yes it did because day 2 and 3 where as well relaxed and peaceful as well the enjoyment how the animals live in their own habitat. I would like to thank you for this amazing experience.

The biggest take-away for us from our trip to Tanzania is that the country is huge, and so are the parks. There is a lot of driving to get to your destinations, and once inside the parks, the roads are difficult, long, dusty, and bumpy. If the roads are properly and regularly graded, the experience would have been a 5/5 stars!
Other than that, the people are very friendly, kind, and happy. The food is amazing!
Our Tanzania experience is truly unforgettable!!

I had a blast in Tanzania. The main reason for the trip was for a safari. We did ours in Mukumi national park. We saw everything but the big cats. I have no regrets about my choice, but next time I'll do the Serengeti in North Tanzania. We also enjoyed the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar.

Great travel destination, Tanzania. Chilly nice weather in Arusha with Safari trips, sunny island beach vibes in Zanzibar, urban living in Dar Es Salaam.
3 places/experiences to have visiting Tanzania.
Furaha Tours did a great job with a good guide Gamma. Saw 4 out of the big 5 during my tour of Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire & Lake Manyara.
Tanzania seems generally safe.
Machala at Kendwa beach provides great jet ski service too. Great guy

The safari during the daytime is fine but the food and accommodations vary quite a bit among different venders. So be sure to have your vender specify all accomodation types and locations before you join the tour. Good luck!

We went on a 3-day safari with Serengeti and NgoroNgoro Crater. The landscape was wonderfully green and countless animals grazed peacefully on the green, lush meadows. We werw lucky to discover all the Big Five and were able to marvel at all the animals in their natural habitat. It was very impressive. As December is the rainy season, it rained heavily for 1-2 hours every day.
Everything worked out perfectly. The camps were well organised and the food was excellent. The days were intense and eventful.
I recommend 3-4 days for this type of safari.
You should bear in mind that you spend many hours in the safari car and that the journey to the national parks alone is around 250 kilometres.

Tanzania is a great place to do safari....Wildlife is amazing and also landscapes. I went in January and the nature was beautiful, so green, I didn't imagine. The parks are big, Serengeti of course is on my top list but also Ngorongoro, Tarangire. The experience in campsites is absolutely wonderful. They are well organized with a cook who does all the best during your stay. I felt so comfortable there. I would like to go there again as soon as possibile. Their culture, Maasai people, are so interesting and fascintating. I would like to know more about them. Thanks to my tour operator Meru Slopes and my wonderful driver Jacob and cook Dulla. I loved them. Asante sana Tanzania!

During our trip (duration 7 full days) we visited for 3 days/2 nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and 4 days Zanzibar, staying one day in Stonetown and 3 days in an all inclusive resort in Nwungi Beach. The weather in Serengeti was marvelous - sunshine 16-26 degrees Celcius, however, as we were there at end of the rainy season we had the chance to see the Park dressed in green and the rivers and lakes full of water (green grass all over, green bushes etc). So the scenery was amazing. We booked our safari with Serengeti African Tours and everything went on smoothly. Dickson, our guide, was an excellent driver, which counted a lot as many paths in the Park were full of mud and water and it was easy to stuck. He also knew all the spots with the animals and plenty of information about them. The tented camp and the lodge we stayed were very nice. Accomodation was more then satisfactory and the food great. In Zanzibar we went without a tour operator. We stayed in Park Hyatt in Stonetown

and Riu Palace in Nwungi, which were great, great breakfast, by the beach, excellent service, with one bad night in Riu, were a cocoroach walked on me while sleeping and they changed us rooms until they spayed and clean the room next morning. For some hours before our flight to Athens we booked a room in Tembo House which had good service but the room was terrbily hot as the air condition was either too weak for that room of mulfunctioning and did not improve although we complained about it. Overall I think that it vital that in Zanzibar one stays in 5 stars hotels otherwise one risks more to face inadequacies that spoil the trip. Weather in Zanzibar is not so good as it it hot and VERY humid and you stink from the first 5 minutes that you walk out. However, the nature is very nice and while you swim and saty by the beach it is nice. We were lucky to have an excellent taxi driver when getting around in Zanzibar (Omary), which is vital as the roads and the traffic there are madness, especially when it gets dark and I do not recommend for anyone to self drive there. As I am a traveller who likes to be independent and I like to rent a car wherever I go, I consider this as a serious disadvantage of Zanzibar. Also, one thing I want to mention is that as a woman travelling without my husband I faced some ridiculus problems especially at the domestic airport of Zanzibar and Arusha when traveling to and from Serengeti. The personel of FlightLink in both trips tried to cause me problems in order to offer solution which called for TIPS! When I was flying to Serengeti they lied to me telling that my flight was canceled ( the plane departed on time after 2 hours, eventually with me inside as an employee of the Zanzibar airport said to the personel of Flightlink something) and when we were returning to Zanzibar they did not load my backpack, weight 8 kilos and a backpack of another italian lady, weight 2 kilos, and the explanation was that plane was overloaded (there were many empty seats, as it was low season) !!! No male passenger faced the same problem, altough they had huge and heavy luggage! Coincidence ? I do not think so. When my backpack arrived with the next flight after 90 minutes they "helped"me carry it to the taxi, hoping for tip which I did not give of course! Last, Ï want to mention the VISA and ZIC insurance that add almost 90 euros or dollars on the budget of the trip without any justicication ! It is just an easy way to exploit - but not sustainably - the tourists that visit Tanzania. These 2 charges make sure that we will not come back, although we had a very good time, plus the fact that the trip is not very expensive nor too long, so it can be repeated by the same tourist.
