Resilient and resourceful people and beautiful landscapes.
We spent 9 days on safari in and near the Serengeti and were not disappointed. Experiences seeing the animals and plants from the documentaries was magical. The weather was great, high of 25C. We felt very safe with our guide who was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. Lodgings worked hard to make you feel comfortable and had good home cooked food.

All the wild animals in a very changing landscape
Tanzania is the perfect place if you want to admire wild animals in ever-changing settings. You'll see elephants in the grasslands near the river or see them emerge from the forest. You'll travel from the Serengeti plains to the lakes of Ngorongoro or Manyara.
The Serengeti itself is so vast that its landscape is constantly changing, and with it the animals that inhabit it.
It's highly commendable that the camps and lodges don't use artificial waterholes to attract animals.
The whole country, in general, is very hospitable. The hotels we encountered were always spotless and the people were friendly.

A life changing experience to see wildlife in Serengeti!!
The trip to Tanzania was a dream come true! I saw so many animals in their habitat which was so impressive and can’t be put into words. It was also fun to learn about local culture! Thanks to our operator Kiliclimb Africa Safari, we saw all the Big 5 and learnt about Serengeti, Ngorongoro. Highly recommended!!

Amazing last minute safari
We did a 4 day safari that was planned last minute. Safari.com did a great job of organizing the trip. We flew into Kilimanjaro and immediately hopped in the vehicle and headed to Tarangire. We spent the night in Karatu and the next morning drove through Ngororo to get to Serengeti. It was a very long drive, but we really wanted to get to Serengeti and only had a few days. We saw an awesome pride of 16 lions hanging out on a rock, which was super cool. The third day we drove around central Serengeti and then back near the crater for an early morning decent into the crater. All 3 parks were pretty interesting. Our favorite was Serengeti - which has vast open plains. We could not have had a better tour guide, Stanley. He was very knowledgeable and did everything he could to ensure that we had a great trip. I highly recommend him!
The people in Tanzania are among the kindest, most friendly people on the planet. I love spending time in Tanzania!

An epic variety of wildlife
We weren’t sure which country in Africa to visit for our first safari. Tanzania has a large variety of national parks and conservation areas and we saw an incredible amount of animals. The country is safe and stable and the people are welcoming and friendly.

Amazing beautiful country with lots of wildlife.
I and my family had a great safari experience in Tanzania this summer! We drove for more than 1,000 Km from Kilimanjaro to North Serengeti visiting Tarangire Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Park and Serengeti. Our driver Festo was a great guide across the whole journey. We encountered lots of wildlife, enjoyed every moment if the trip even if the roads at times were not that comfortable. We changed accommodation almost every night, the lodges were very nice (maybe only one was a bit basic) and enjoyed the food and the local beer. We were probably not expecting the cold night in Ngorongoro with the temperature dropping to 8 degrees! Overall I magnificent experience. Special thanks to African Big Cats Safaris for the excellent organization of our journey

Fantastic
very nice people, and very nice place for Safari.
We were traveling with Kojuu Safari, and that was better than great.
We have 17 days in Tanzania, and we would love to come back in the future.

A country with an abundance of amazing wildlife.
We saw all the wildlife we wanted to see and more! We visited a Masai village which was interesting, but I'm not sure if I would recommend it. I loved Ngorongoro Crater, again there were a lot of vehicles there. We saw lions and a lioness close up, like literally less than 1 metre away. We saw a hyena running by with a bone in its mouth. I found it simply amazing.
We visited Tarangire National Park which was a smaller park, again with so many vehicles. We stayed at Heart & Soul Lodge Manyara which was fabulous and I would highly recommend.
We had lovely hampers for our picnic lunch each

day accompanied by a lovely glass of wine. I'm vegetarian, but I was adequately catered for.My recommendation is if you can find less travelled parks would be a major plus, but I seriously can't complain about our experience with Lozaro and Brenda with Goldfinch Adventures and it didn't break the budget.

Amazing Experience
Tanzania has several national parks for safari and these parks have different sceneries. Thus you can observe the animals in different sceneries like near the lake, on the rocks or in the bushes. People are very friendly and hospitable and they make you feel safe all the time. Overall, my safari in Tanzania was amazing experience.

A once in a lifetime adventure!
We chose Lion King Adventures. The price was right, they went to all the parks we read about and they had great reviews. I had no idea we would be with our own guide and we hit the jackpot there. Mkwanda was so fun and he knew everything about everything I asked. We learned so much about the animals. He took us to all the good spots and having 13+ years of experience, he knows his stuff. We really bonded with him and he seemed to really enjoy how

much joy we got from the experiences. He also got us in perfect position for some great photo opps.We stayed for 6 nights and all of our accommodations were above and beyond our expectations. The lodges were beautiful, but I really loved the rented camps inside the parks. The rooms were just as nice as the lodges, but you were right in the middle of things. It was July, the weather was perfect. I brought a light fleece jacket and wore tank tops underneath and I was comfortable the whole time.
The culture is wildly different and so interesting to learn about. The hospitality is on a level that you won't believe.
If you're on the fence, GO!!!! I haven't been anywhere other than Tanzania and the only reason I'd go anywhere else is to see the great apes someday. It was safe, I never felt anything less than totally secure. The only thing I would do differently is bring more comfortable shoes, shoes that I already love and I would choose a package that was all tented camps.
This was an incredible, phenomenal, surreal experience and I'd go back in a heartbeat!!
