Breathtaking parks, mountains, unforgettable meeting with wild animals!
I think the best time to visit Tanzania is October-November when great migration takes place.
It could be hot during the day and cooler in the evenings. So always have right clothes with you. I also recommend to visit Zanzibar. Beautiful island that belongs to Tanzania. Warm Indian Ocean, white beach, unique City of Zanzibar

Tales of Tanzania
We went to Tanzania for a safari trip and came back with unforgettable memories! The safari was beyond expectations. Seeing animals in their natural habitat was blissful. From a group of 13(!) lion cubs chilling together under Serengeti's sunset to the elephant that stopped in front of our car in the Ngorongoro forest, or the buffalos visiting the lodges at night and the lion roaring in the background while we were having dinner at the lodge in the savanah, everything seems out of this world.
Beyond the game seeing experience, we have to thank and appreciate the hospitality of the locals. From the tour guides diligently narrating safari tales to the locals receiving us to their villages in Materuni and the Masais in Ngorongoro, everybody was very welcoming and accommodating.
The main attraction was the 2/3 days safari trip starting in Arusha, proceeding via Ngorongoro, then staying in South Serengeti for a full day and then coming

back through Ngorongoro and descending in the crater there. We've seen a wealth of antilopes (Eland - the biggest, Dik Dik - the smallest), lions, elephants (lots of them), giraffes and probably thousands(!) of zebras and gnus - while following the road in Serengeti we crossed straight through an immense heard of them.In addition the safari trip we also had a short hike on Kilimanjaro, visited the Materuni village where we MADE coffee end-to-end, from peeling the coffee seed to brewing the coffee powder, visited the Materuni waterfall (perhaps the tallest in the region if I'm not mistaking), had great fun and the Kikuleta springs and took photos with animals, fed them and pet them (yes) at a resort near Kilimanjaro.
All in all, dreamy experience, first contact with Africa and safaris, felt safe throughout our trip and came back home with a strong desire to write another chapter of Tales of Tanzania.

Tanzania, with its diverse wildlife and magical landscapes, evokes deep emotions with every encounte
That evening, we stayed in a little corner of paradise after an excellent meal. The next morning, a gentle walk brought us to the lake’s edge, where hundreds of flamingos offered a magical spectacle. On the way, we passed zebras, gazelles, and wildebeests resting in this peaceful, timeless place.
Then we headed to the Serengeti, the long-awaited park. From the very first day, the landscapes and wildlife

took our breath away. The long hours on the road faded away thanks to everything there was to see. That night, we stayed in a camp in the heart of the park, lulled to sleep by the sounds of lions and nearby hippos.The second day exceeded all expectations: animal encounters at every turn, and just when we thought it was over, more surprises appeared. A cozy campfire closed out the evening before another wonderful night in a beautifully appointed tent under the stars.
Next, we made our way south in the Serengeti to witness the great wildebeest migration. The experience was breathtaking. We enjoyed a brunch on the hood of the car, surrounded by endless wilderness—a truly unforgettable moment. That evening, we reached a new lodge just in time for a stunning sunset.
Our final safari day took place in the Ngorongoro Crater. After a long ascent, an extraordinary view unfolded: a vast, protected caldera with a lake, green grasses, flowers, and abundant wildlife. It felt like paradise, shielded from the outside world. A perfect ending to our journey.
Tanzania revealed its treasures to us little by little, with gentleness and wonder, allowing us to take it all in without rushing. Throughout this incredible journey, our guide Goodfrey was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. He made the experience all the more special.
A heartfelt thank you to Serengeti-African Tours, who listened to us during the planning, welcomed us on arrival, and supported us throughout the trip. This journey truly lived up to all our expectations

The dream of a child
Going on a safari in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater was one of the best experiences of my life. Since I was a child, I dreamed of seeing animals in the wild, like in the movies—but being there exceeded all my expectations. The vast landscapes, the incredible biodiversity, and the deep respect for the animals create a unique connection with nature. The Serengeti has a special energy that’s hard to describe, and the Ngorongoro Crater feels like a world of its own, full of life. It’s a journey that stays with you forever. Absolutely recommended.

Amazing experience in Tanzania
Tanzania was absolutely amazing. We saw so many animals in their natural habitat and because we went during the rainy season, the scenery was so picturesque!
The trees and the flowers made the backdrop of our Safari drives look like something out of a movie. We are looking forward to going this again in the near future :)

Fabulous experience
We have just returned from a fantastic safari in Tanzania (Nyerere tented camp). The overall experience was amazing. From the minute we landed in the bush we we very well taken care of with excellent food, accommodation, transport and tours. I did not expect to be able to get so close to the animals. The safari itself was exceptional. The people of Tanzania are very friendly and are always willing to help. I would not hesitate to go back again and would encourage anyone else thinking about it to try it.

The safari in Tanzania was amazing!
The safari experience in Tanzania was an incredible experience! I was traveling with my mother inlaw and at all times we felt safe and well cared for. All the accomodations were very nice, the camping in 'tents' was definitely more like glamping. The rooms were always clean, beds were comfortable.
The food at all the resorts was delicious with several options,
and all the staff were so gracious, friendly, and helpful! We had so many enjoyable interactions at each stop.
We saw all the wildlife we were hoping to see and then some.
Our guide, Jaffari, did a great job of making sure each game drive was successful.
He was so knowledgable about the animals, plants, culture; we really enjoyed
our adventures with Jaffari.
I highly recommend going on safari in Tanzania, you will not be disappointed!
