Great safari and wildlife but…
At the same time, poverty is very visible, and understandably there is a strong reliance on tourism for income. Unfortunately, the tipping culture became one of the biggest negatives of our trip.
Tipping was brought up incessantly throughout the trip, sometimes multiple times a day, and it often felt as though every smile, interaction or small gesture came with an expectation of a tip. It gets tiring very quickly and takes away from otherwise genuine interactions.
We tipped very well throughout our trip and have no issue rewarding great service. What we disliked was the constant expectation and pressure surrounding it. We are not American and do not come from a culture where customers are expected to effectively supplement everyone’s wages through tips.
Tanzania was spectacular,

particularly the wildlife and safari, but the tipping culture was exhausting enough that it would make us think twice about returning. Businesses should pay their staff properly and allow tipping to be what it is supposed to be: an optional reward for excellent service, not an expected part of someone’s wage.

A unique and fascinating, cultural, and wildlife experience
We went during the dry season and saw abundant wildlife. You do need to prepare for very rough and dusty roads. We had perfect weather with temperatures that were mild and no rain. We encountered very few insects.

Incredible
The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, the facilities were exactly what we were looking for, and we managed to see all the animals we had hoped for. It truly felt like being in a dream.
The only aspect that could be improved would be having a guide who also speaks Italian. That said, our DEO was absolutely fantastic!

A good mixture between modern and tradition. Depends of course where you are
We travelled as a couple and made a mixture between tour operator for Serengeti tour and self organized. We had a rented car for 11 days, this was perfect, sometimes challenging, but we enjoyed the freedom. Trafic was not as bad as expected and also police controls were easy.
I was a little worried about to much traffic Jam in Serengeti and Ngorogoro during high season. All over all it was full but not that bad. At the entrence everyone is together but after a while all cars go different directions and you can also enjoy the fantastic landscape alone.
But I heared that in July 2026 there were less tourists than expected.
All accomodations we had during our stay were fantastic. I don´t need it fancy but I must say all places had great atmosphere and great food.
I must say, the people in Tanzania are very very friendly!!!
But we also left the normal touristy paths and there is always a difference how people react to you as an obvious tourist
