unbelievable experience

Our tour included in order: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and lake Manyara. Everything was absolutely spectacular. Our highlight was Ngorongoro: the most beautiful landscape of the tour and the best experience overall. Experiencing the sunset in Serengeti is also something worth to see. Lake Manyara is also nice but after the first three settings it feels it is lacking something, although we were told that due to the climate change the lake has expanded and a lot of wildlife is escaping the site by moving to neighbouring Tarangire. All in all we managed to see everything except leopards. A once in a lifetime experience!

Tour was excellent. In Arusha you can visit the African art museum and shop for souvenirs. We saw everything imaginable on our 3 day safari from a lizard a group of mongoose, to rhinos, hippos, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, lions, leopards, cheetahs, baboons, monkeys, ostriches, vultures even pink flamingos! The safari was well planned to include meals and where we spent the night! It was great!

We had an amazing time in Tanzania, there is so much wildlife to see. The night safari was special because we got to see a among other animals a leopard ( which was what I wanted to see)
We even had 3 hyenas wandering around while we had dinner in the bush… thanks to our guard they stayed away from us, then in the morning, baboons walking through our lodge while we had breakfast. Do it all again ✅✅

We were so happy and lucky to see the Big Five during our 3-day, 2-night safari in the Serengeti, all thanks to our experienced and super driver and guide, Anton! He was truly the key to making this trip so incredible. We deeply appreciated traveling with him and came away with unforgettable memories!

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 Horrible food that made us stick and outdated rooms.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!

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!

We flew into Kilimanjaro Airport and as soon as we touched down we were well looked after. Everyone is extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful. Our safari guide picked us up and we drove onto Arusha - the roads are bumpy but the journey is well worth it.

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
Read more 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

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!
