We spent 2 weeks in Sansibar, a wonderfull island, clean, safe and easy to travel (some roads can be difficult to drive with a rental car, we had a driver) and we made a 3 day Safari on main land. The organization was perfect (flights, accomodation, 3 parcs with amazing wild life). We can recommend our tour operator "faithfull adventure" for safaris.

We chose a 3 day safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara with Mountain Warriors, which certainly didnt disappoint. We were met at Arusha Airport by Osama who took us to our first park which was Tarangire. The place was beautiful we encountered many elephants, giraffes, zebra but didn't see any lions here. The second day we were picked up and taken to the Crater which was absolutely amazing. The drive down into the crater was amazing and the views spectacular. We saw elephants, many zebra and gnus, hippos and rhinos, hyena, warthogs and a lion and some lionesses, it was the best day, we stopped for a picnic lunch at a small watering hole which had hippos in it, it was idyllic. The last day we were again picked up early and taken to Manyara which had many monkeys and baboons there, we also saw elephants, bison, zebra, gnus and a lioness with her two cubs which was a fabulous sight. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed the safari, which was very good value for money.

The hotel we stayed at for the two nights was beautiful and the food delicious. The guide/driver Osama, was very knowledgable and he kept us safe at all times, even when an elephant decided to turn and come towards our vehicle! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mountain Warriors to anyone wanting to part take in a safari in Tanzania. Five stars from us, thank you.

Wow, Tanzania was way more incredible than I had anticipated. I started with a trek up Kilimanjaro with Tusker Trail (highly recommended), and I was impressed with how well-maintained the trails, huts, and facilities are there. I heard scary stories, but none of them turned out to be true. Standing atop a 19,000' peak is a monumental achievement for me. It should be on every avid hiker's list, in my opinion.

After my trek I went on safari with Suricata (also recommended). It was other-worldly! You don't get that close to the wild animals in a zoo! And, thankfully, they are in their own home -- not forced (or drugged) into submission in a tiny cage. I went to Tarangire (great for elephants!), Ngorongoro (rhinos!!), and Serengeti (everything!!!). The birds are abundant and colorful. Lilac-breasted roller -- oh my! Secretary birds, bustards, water birds, and raptors. My guide was very knowledgeable and congenial.

The people in Tanzania

are beautiful, too. While they may be poorer than many of us in the western world, they are a happy and friendly bunch, always with a hearty "Jambo!" and carefree "hakuna matata". I wish it didn't take so long to get there from where I live, but it was worth every hour spent in airports and jets to see such a beautiful place.

Our safari was through Northeren and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, Foothills of Kilimanjaro. We were there during the great migration of the wildebeest. The Wildebeest crossing the Mara River, which marks Tanzania's border with Kenya. Everywhere we traveled there were large populations of all kinds of animals. The safari was better than our expectations and we would highly recommend the trip to everyone.

My family and I (ages 2-66) had an amazing time in Tanzania.
Starting with a week on Zanzibar, we fell in love with both Stonetown to the West and the beautiful blue ocean and bounty beaches to the East.
We then flew to Arusha for a four day safari with Sopai, our incredible tour operator, with the best guide ever, Patrick. He seemed to have a 6th sense about finding animals - we literally saw everything we dreamed of! From chetas, lions and servals (yes, plural) to hippos, zebras and everything you hope to see while on safari.
We went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and lake Manyara. All four places were very different and very scenic, and it was amazing to experience both the lush bush and jungles as well as the dry savannah, a true “African dream”.
We also really enjoyed the safari jeep with a functional fridge for cool beverages and the fact that you could charge multiple devices and cameras at the same time within the jeep!
To have

the best experience though, it’s important to have patience and internalize the local motto of “hakuna matata” (i.e. relax, everything is going to be okay), bring a Mastercard for easier access to US Dollars and, when traveling with children, either require a child seat in advance or accept the lack there of (in any mode of transportation). All in all we had a wonderful trip with its people being as wonderful as the country itself!

We were on a Great Migration Safari in Tanzania with Safarisolestours.com, a great tour operator in Tanzania, and had an amazing time in this beautiful country. Tanzania is incredibly diverse. There are savannahs, deserts, jungles, mountains and some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. Plus the unique experience of the great animal migration, which is truly unique in the Serengeti. Another highlight are the beautiful beaches and islands, such as Zanzibar, which invite you to relax. You can come back to Tanzania again and again and experience something new every time.

We took an 8 day/7 night safari with SafariSoles followed by 5 days on Zanzibar. Both were amazing, 100% positive experiences!! SafariSoles was a fantastic company that let us design our own safari with very nice and comfortable hotels and tent cabins at an incredibly reasonable price. Our driver and guide - Kennedy - was also fantastic. He knew where to look for wildlife, when to stay and watch, and when to rush to another location to catch something rare. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the ecosystems and just a great all around guide. We also loved Zanzibar, both Stonetown and Matemwe Beach. We stayed at Emerson Spice hotel in Stonetown and Villa Kiva on Matemwe Beach. Both were great. We highly recommend the fish tasting menu at Emerson Spice's rooftop restaurant. It was really delicious and an incredible bargain. Villa Kiva is also great. Right on the beach with beautiful views and gardens, lots of nice places to relax, great food in the restaurant,

and very helpful at arranging a dolphin boat/snorkeling strip. We loved Tanzania and would happily go back.

We had an exceptional time. Our tour guide Florid and Safari Soles planned everything.

We enjoyed the upscale tenting places we stayed. Zebras and elephants in our front yard

The animals of course made the trip. We even saw a baby giraffe being born
