Breathtaking Safari: every day was a surprise

5 / 5 5 /5

This is my second safari in Tanzania. We did a 7 days itinerary visiting Tarabgire, Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti and Ngoro Ngoro. We trusted the Meru slopes safari tour operator at their attention in planning the itinerary really made the difference. We had the chance to see the wildebeest migration on the Mara Riverer enjoyed a bush breakfast at Malaika Lodge: this lodge located near s the northern Serengeti was really intimate with great service and very new and big tent. B the central Serengeti we stayed at Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Safari Camp: here you can enjoy a beautiful sunset from the pool.
A must you should really do is the balloon ride: 3 am wake up call but the scenic view and wildlife spotting was really superb! After tha landing we had glass of champagne and bush breakfast. We saw many animals including uncountable lions, zebras, gnu, antilopes, 3 leopards, a cheetah’s family, a couple of Rhinos and lots of birds, so we had all big five but also
Read more ugly five (Warthogs, Vultures, Marabou storks, Hyena and Blue wildebeest). Ngoro Ngoro is for sure one of the most iconic scenery where you can have a game drive all over the world. The last day we had horse back ride that was nice but not extraordinary. Before leaving to Zanzibar we spent 2 nights in the incredible propriety of Serval Wildlife: this unique lodge needs to be booked really well in advance but you will have the chance to interact and feed animals, to have a once in life moment that you will never forget. If you are travelling to Zabzibar and you are an animal lover I would also recommend you to visit the cheetah’s rock: a place that really rake cares of preservation of animals where I learned a lot and got the amazing chance to stay with otters and other animals!

I’ve previously visited Tanzania but only on business trips to Dar EsSalam .

I’ve informed my two sons all of their life that one day I would love to take them on an African Safari . I booked us to visit Zanzibar and then booked a two day Safari and we were picked up at the hotel in Zanzibar then flew from the airport over to mainland Tanzania . Our guide picked us up and then took us through Serengeti , we had an incredible day including a wonderful lunch in a restaurant but the amount of wildlife we saw was incredible and I’ve previously been on a small safari in North Kenya and another one recently in Cape Town . They were both very good but this safari in Serengeti was unbelievable and I saw several species of animals I hadn’t seen before . We then stayed overnight in a lovely hotel in Serengeti and the following morning we left at sunrise and drove to NgorNgoro Crater and again the scenery was unbelievable and the wildlife was amazing and the greatest was to
Read more see a Female Cheetah with 5 cubs , once we got to the Crater the wildlife was unbelievable with thousands of Wildebeest and lots of Zebras and Gazelles and thousands of Greater Flamingos in one of the large lakes . The food in Tanzania was excellent , and it was lovely to see lots of Maasai Tribes with hundreds of cattle and goats

Beautiful country and lovely people

It was our first visit to any African country, and our first impression of Tanzania was wonderful. The people are honest, helpful, warm and lovely.

Our first destination was Kilimanjaro International Airport, where all passengers were warmly welcomed with energetic African dances. It was a wonderful and memorable beginning to our Tanzania experience.

Our total stay in Tanzania was 8 days. We visited Arusha, Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us.

The Tanzanian government has done an excellent job of preserving the jungles and wildlife in their natural state. Anyone who wants to experience nature and wildlife in their most authentic form should visit Tanzania at least once.

The grasslands of the Serengeti are vast and seemingly endless. We saw all kinds of animals from incredibly close distances—animals that we had previously only
Read more seen on television. The animals seemed completely unbothered by the presence of humans. It truly felt like we had entered their kingdom.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is an altogether different world. We were fortunate enough to see a white rhinoceros from very close by, which was an unforgettable experience.

I still remember the quote written at the entrance to Serengeti: “The Serengeti Shall Never Die.” After experiencing it ourselves, I truly believe these words carry a deeper meaning—not only for the Serengeti, but for humanity and our planet. May the Serengeti remain wild, beautiful and alive forever.

Perfect trip into Serengeti and great Migration

5 / 5 5 /5

We had a great 8 day trip from Arusha into Serengeti covering also Arusha NP, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Wildlife viewing was spectacular: numerous sightings of Big Five, inmidst the Great Migration including two river crossings and an abundance of wildlife in Ngorongoro.

Our guide Deo was wonderfull and also extremely knowledgeable not only on wildlife but also on culture, history, society and economics.

Lovely accommodations especially when it came to luxury tents inside Serengeti - so many animal noise during the night. Truly amazing!

We did not want to leave at the end and look forward to come back again one day…

Trip of a life time

Our safari in Tanzania was honestly a trip we will never forget.

From the moment we arrived, everything was so well organised, and the whole experience was made even more special by our incredible guide. His knowledge, patience and passion for the wildlife really made the safari come alive. We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five, as well as so many other amazing animals in their natural environment.

Being out in the Serengeti is something that is difficult to put into words. Seeing the animals roaming freely, watching the landscapes change around us, and experiencing those unforgettable moments so close to nature was absolutely breathtaking.

What really stood out to us was how personal the experience felt. It never felt rushed, and our guide always took the time to make sure we got the best possible experience and understood what we were seeing.

This was a true bucket-list trip for us, and it exceeded our expectations. We

I would highly recommend this safari to anyone thinking about visiting Tanzania. It was an absolutely unforgettable experience from beginning to end. 🐘🦁❤️

Mesmerizing, friendly and rich in culture.

Choosing Tanzania to experience our first Safari was the best decision ever! From the friendly locals to spectacular landscapes and majestic animals roaming in the wild. We camped in both Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, a once in a lifetime experience. You could hear the hippos and lions at night and zebras near our tents. It was exhilarating!

Game drives in Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater was more than I could asked for. I came without any expectation, because you never know with wildlife. But we saw so many animals up-close and Big 5 checked! Rugged terrains and long drives, so be sure to pack some snacks with you. We thought it would be crowded but to our surprise, it wasn't too bad. We even got to witness lioness hunting a gazelle. It was a nat-geo moment for us all.

We were there in July, so the weather was lovely. Bit chilly in the morning, especially at Ngorongoro Crater.
Highly recommend the hot air balloon.
Read more Caught the sunrise while cruising above the vast savannah watching the animals in their habitat followed by bush breakfast after. The whole experience was magical. What amazed me also is that all the toilets at the safari have bidets!

Apart from the Safari, we also learn about Maasai culture and joined the tribe for a welcome dance.

We flew to Zanzibar Island after safari, and it was breathtaking! We hired scooter to go around the island. Took part in cooking traditional Swahili lunch with the locals and learn to weave the coconut leaves for resort roofs!
Swim with the dolphins was magical and first time we did reef walking too!

Tanzania has so much to offer and people are so welcoming. There was not a day that we did not dance to Jambo Bwana song!

Our safari was absolutely incredible and truly exceeded all our expectations. We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five, and so much more! Every moment was unforgettable, from the breathtaking wildlife encounters to the stunning landscapes.

The organisation was excellent from start to finish. Our Jeep was comfortable, and our driver was fantastic, very knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about the wildlife. The lodges were also top-notch, with beautiful locations, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere.

It was an amazing experience that we will never forget. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure!

Tanzania is an amazing country, full of traditions and incredible wildlife. Everyone should do a safari once in a lifetime, to discover animals and places in their own original environment. Accommodation are great, people are kind and always available. It confirms every expectations.
