Flourishing with animals. More crowded than I expected, but not too crowded. beautiful!
Tanzania is an amazing destination for Safari. Their national parks are full of amazing animals, and there are literally thousands of options of Safari companies to choose from. While at the parks, you are surrounded by beautiful landscapes and thousands of animals. Rare finds, like leopards do get packed with jeeps (Toyota Land cruisers actually) but I never felt it was overly crowded as to not enjoy the experience. There are also hundreds of deferent lodges, most of which are great, except for "Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge". Avoid it like the plague, it's an old hotel targeted at trashy Americans. Horrible food that made us stick and outdated rooms.
Everything else was spectacular!

Once in a lifetime holiday
The thing that most impressed me was how lovely everyone was! Everywhere I went people were friendly, cheerful, upbeat and positive.
On Safari the animals were completely relaxed around the jeeps, taking no notice at all, lions and elephants wandering past and around the jeeps, crossing in front and even laying in the shade of them!
Incredible experience for an animal lover!
In Zanzibar the accommodation was great, the excursions were amazing and, again, everyone was lovely!

Beautiful. atmospheric and diverse wonderland
The National Parks are breathtaking. Starting with Tarangire National Park, we got our first glimpse of buffalo, elephants and giraffes. The roads were not too busy, the animals were everywhere, and we always felt safe. Onto Lake Manyara, an incredible, vast expanse featuring tree climbing lions, this felt like our first real foray into the 'bush'. We then went through Ngorongoro and spent the next two days at the Serengeti National Park. This was the most incredible experience. Lions, giraffes, elephants, buffalo and a whole host of other animals enjoying life in their natural habitat. Then we drove back through Ngorongoro Crater and low and behold, we ticked off the fifth of the Big 5 with a majestic rhino

walking through the plains.Writing this review doesn't feel like it does the trip any justice, so I will round off by saying that the experience, hospitality, cuisine and nature of Tanzania is, for me, second to none, and I will be 100% recommending to anyone and everyone I speak to. Asante Tanzania!

The True Essence of Africa
Tanzania gives you the real Africa experience, with a perfect mix of beautiful landscapes and incredible wildlife. The people here are incredibly kind and welcoming, which made our trip even more special.
On our first day, we did a one-day safari in Selous and we were lucky enough to see all the animals. The wildlife viewing was absolutely amazing. On the second day, we did an unforgettable bush walking experience with the Maasai tribe, followed by a boat safari. It was the perfect combination of nature and culture.
The scenery throughout the trip was breathtaking, and the weather was great for exploring. We stayed at Selous Lodge, which was wonderful, simple, and beautifully integrated into the environment. A special thanks to the staff there, who were super friendly and helpful throughout our stay!
The atmosphere of the savannah is unique—peaceful and wild all at the same time. It was a simple but unforgettable journey into th

Incredible wildlife!
My friend and I travelled to Tanzania in early October 2026. We booked a 3 day safari. We stayed a night each side of our trip in Arusha. Our guide was the fabulous Anton, and our vehicle a large Toyota Landcruiser.
We drove from Arusha to the Serengeti via the spectacular viewpoint at Ngorongoro Crater. We saw incredible wildlife on our afternoon and early morning game drive through the Serengeti, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants and hippos. Anton was very skilled at locating animals (with help from the guides’ radio /walkie talkie network) and driving us close to them. On day 3 we travelled to the Crater and again saw incredible wildlife including rhinos, lions, wildebeest, cranes and flamingos.
Accommodation/food was included and was all of a very good standard.
My friend and I would highly recommend it!

Incredible
We were in Tanzania on a 6 day Safari tour. The whole experience was amazing.
The wildlife we were able to see was above and beyond our expectations! We had an awesome encounter with all big 5. And zebras, wildebeest, baboons!
The variety of birds is incredible.
The amount of effort and resources Tanzania puts into preserving the ecosystem in their national parks is astounding. It was a great trip! We saw and learned so much. Thank you!

The reason I give Tanzania 4 stars is the over-tourism occurring in the Serengeti and the Ngoronogoro Crater and Conservation Area. Tarangire is creeping up towards the realm of losing its quiet charm as well.

Breathtaking
From the animal experiences to the scenery and food, we couldn't ask for a better trip. Meru Slopes handled all the logistics to make our trip stress free and memorable.

An Unforgettable First Journey and a Thousand Reasons to Return

struck by the creative craftsmanship of the Tanzanian people, put so beautifully to use in art and local crafts. I saw so many hard-working people designing and making objects from wood, metal, fabric, and straw. With such vibrant businesses and trade everywhere, I have no doubt this country has a bright future ahead. In this landscape, women represent a massive driving force behind the country's industrious spirit, actively involved in countless fields, including many non-traditional roles.Tanzania does not rely on a single tourist hub; it offers countless distinct environments to explore. The landscapes are immense, with a continuous shift of ever-changing colors. Moreover, the local communities preserve unique customs and languages, and getting to know them touched and enriched us deeply, inspiring us to learn even more about the country.We will certainly return to explore the wide new array of natural parks and meet the people who inhabit them. I would love to see the blooms in Kitulo, search for the wild African violet and chameleons in the Usambara Mountains, and visit both the mainland coast and the islands. I want to look out over Lake Victoria and reach Rubondo Island to see monkeys and chimpanzees, or board the historic vessel on Lake Tanganyika to reach Gombe. And then there is the immense Nyerere National Park in the south, where I hope to find the Pel’s Fishing Owl among its numerous bird species, as well as I dream of trekking with the Maasai at Lake Natron or take a bike or motorbike tour somewhere, I don’t think one or two trips will ever be enough. Everywhere we went, we felt genuinely welcomed, and we are so glad to have spent a chapter of our lives in Tanzania.
