We had a beautiful trip to Zanzibar, and a two day safari from there.
A bit stressful and a lot of driving during this two days, and would have liked to have a third day for more relaxing. But the rest was really great.

Tanzanite people must be the most friendly people in the world:-)

Went for the adventure, stayed for the people

I have to admit, at first it felt a bit weird because I’d never organized a trip like this on my own before. Everyone kept saying I was crazy for going to Tanzania without an agency — but honestly, everything went even better than I could’ve imagined.

Francis picked us up from the hotel — always cheerful and kind — and we made the payment in cash in Dar es Salaam before heading to Nyerere National Park. That’s where we met our guide, Kennedy, and we couldn’t have been luckier. He was full of fascinating facts about the animals and the ecosystem, and so was our driver.

We stayed in this super peaceful lodge in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature. Every now and then, we’d see local tribes passing by with their cattle. What made it even more special was feeling completely surrounded by local people — it never felt touristy or staged, just real and authentic.

It was such a special experience — simple, genuine, and unforgettable.

We even saw a lot of baby animals. Even though we slept good at the campgrounds we would not recommend it because it’s really wild.

IT was a very good choice to do a Safari that took three days, longer and i ver mich would have preferred to stay in a lodge. But three day Camping was perfect

Tanzania is a beautiful, warm paradise.

PROs: I had a very dedicated, reliable driver that drive me roundtrip from my hotel to Mikumi for 7-hr each way! Also, my guide has in-depth knowledge on the wildlife, popular spots for tracking animals, and was very good company.

CONs: The trip duration to and from the hotel was NOT as advertised. The journey took a total of 14 hours by car. In addition, the organizer did an absolutely awful job of keeping me informed on the pickup time and coordinating the park entrance fees, which wasted much time unnecessarily.

However, the safari itself was remarkable and I thank the driver and tour guide for their kindness, knowledge, and patience.

A great country to observe African safari wildlife and experience intriguing Masai culture

4 / 5 4 /5

My first trip to Africa was an incredible experience, and I was thrilled with Tanzania's amazing safari offerings. Our journey was expertly organized by Dancing Simba Safaris, who seamlessly accommodated our request to include a hike on Mount Kilimanjaro.

Our contact, Cynthia, was always available to help and made adjustments throughout our trip to ensure everything was perfect. Our safari driver was exceptionally knowledgeable about the animals' habitats and behaviors, enabling us to spot all the key species. A highlight was getting a close-up view of lions and cubs relaxing and playing in their natural environment.

The Masai village cultural experience is a must-do. We had the privilege of interacting with Masai families and learning about their history. Another unforgettable moment was spending half a day with a guide from the Chaga tribe. He involved us in the entire process of making coffee—from raw bean to brewed cup—while singing
Read more a Swahili song along the way. The homemade traditional organic lunch was both delicious and nutritious.

The country is blessed with wonderful weather and an abundance of tropical fruits, such as deliciously creamy avocados, watermelons, guavas, and papayas.

We rounded off our trip with a visit to Zanzibar, which boasts beautiful white-sand beaches on the east coast. It's an ideal location for kite surfing and the perfect place to relax after our safari adventures.

a dream come true

4 / 5 4 /5

I`ve always dreamed to seeing wild animals, particularly lions, in their own habitat. We did a 5 day tour through Tangarire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti national parks and saw more and closer up than we ever expected. A lot of the credit goes to our driver Fazil. While keeping his eyes on the bumpy track, he still spotted animals that we could only see with our binoculars. August was the ideal time to travel, pleasant temperatures. We felt safe and comfortable. The stays in the lodges (tents on platforms) were unexpectedly luxurious. All the staff was very pleasant and helpful.
After the safari we continued to Zanzibar to a beach hotel in the north. Food was excellent, rooms in our hotel were mediocre. I spent the last few days in Stonetown expecting some interesting sights. Stonetown is a World Heritage site, but it seems to me that the prized buildings have disappeared among new high rise buildings. I did see a few of the renowned carved doors.
I can highly recommend Tanzania as a travel destination.
