Disneyland. Too much tourists
Overall rating
4/5

Very nice but crowded. The Maasai are oppressive and not at all authentic. They only want to sell trinkets.

Tanzania is the very best for viewing nature, eating well, feeling safe and enjoying the people.
Overall rating
5/5

Tanzania makes my heart sing! I would return in a heartbeat …and I will in 4 more years for my 80th. It is about the Serengeti, the remarkable opportunity to view animals in their own environment, up close , and in abundance. And yet, it is equally about the people of Tanzania, the warm welcome, the kindness visited upon us , the openness . Yes, I know they are paid to welcome tourists, but I have travelled a great deal and these people are special and unique. I miss them everyday.
The food is wonderful, the lodges and tented camps feel authentic …it is just perfection . My 9,11, and 13 year old grandchildren will never forget what they saw and learned here.
Savannah Explorers took great care of us , ensured we saw more than we dared dream of seeing… including the stunningly beautiful Cultural Heritage Centre in Arusha and the galleries outside Arusha. The art, the artistry, the beauty of this country was on display everywhere.
I miss all of this. It is one of my favourite countries in the world.

We went to a mine site visit and then on a safari to Serengeti and the Crater. Obadia also took me for an early morning run around the town which was incredible!

Me and my family had a 6 days safari with Fullpackageadventure in Tanzania and then moved to Zanzibar for 5 more days.
The driver/guide (Adrian9 form the agency was really super. Very nice and very competent about driving, wildlife and orienteering... which is not easy at all!
I think in Tanzania one must study 4 years at the University to become a safari guide.
We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and lake Manyara. All parks offer different animals and very different landscapes. Lake Manyara was the less interesting but as last day it was a good way to a soft coming back to "city life".
Be aware that in August parks are not that hot! There is a plasent temperature. If you are going to visit Ngorongoro you will reach 2200 metres altitude so you will need a warm jumper/coat.
All Tanzania people are super nice and really welcoming.
It is a very safe country where you can travel without any fear.
We liked Tanzania (and Zanzibar), its people and its fruits very much!

TOP! Magnificent!
Overall rating
5/5

What a wonderful time spent with Plex Africa. We opted for the 3 days of game drive with the safari boat. We were leaving from Zanzibar so having the return flight included was not insignificant. Once arrived in Nyerere (Selou) we had the chance to meet our guide Selum who accompanied us throughout our stay. A caring person, very kind and who knew how to make our 3 days very pleasant.
The park is very large, we saw a lot of animals there. It was fantastic. Being able to have breakfast or lunch in the middle of these landscapes are moments that will remain unforgettable.
The lodge was very comfortable with staff always attentive.
Communication with the tour operator is fluid via WhatsApp.
We also had the opportunity to visit the village next to our lodge. It was a very touching moment. Remember to bring small school supplies for the children, otherwise sweets are always nice :)
In short, we are very satisfied with Plex Africa who made these 3 days a perfect experience.

We booked our safari through Tanzania Roadside.
It was an amazing experience, every park we visited was stunning and the variety of wildlife just incredible. We seen the big 5 thanks to our brilliant your guide “Elly “ but the biggest thrill was viewing the great migration, a truly once in a lifetime experience.
It is a beautiful country,the safari facilities are excellent and the people are so friendly

Amazing safari and great beach time
Overall rating
5/5

Our family of three (parents and a 14-year-old son) had an amazing holiday with Serengetismile. We split our two weeks equally between a safari and beach time in Zanzibar, having an incredible experience in both. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro parks, guided by Kisali, who impressed us with his expertise, knowledge of animals and culture, very safe driving, and genuine commitment to giving us the best experience. We saw plenty of animals and enjoyed amazing, well-equipped, and clean camps in the middle of nature. Our Zanzibar adventure started with the must-see historical Stone Town, followed by a very relaxing, quiet stay at Villa Kiva on the beachfront. Everything was very well organized by Erick, communication via WhatsApp was excellent, all for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend this team!

Tanzania offers extraordinary safari experiences in the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire Nationalpark
Overall rating
5/5

Our trip to Tanzania was truly unforgettable, especially our visits to Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. The Ngorongoro Crater was like stepping into a wildlife paradise – we saw everything from lions and rhinos to huge herds of zebras all within this stunning natural amphitheater. The sheer concentration of animals in such a dramatic setting was something we’ll never forget.

Tarangire National Park was equally impressive, with its iconic baobab trees and massive elephant herds. We were amazed at how close we could get to the wildlife, and the views around the Tarangire were simply breathtaking.

One of the highlights of our trip was meeting local Maasai Trine. Learning about their culture and way of life added so much depth to our journey, giving us a genuine connection to the land and its people. The combination of breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural encounters made our Tanzanian adventure truly exceptional.
