Our safari was nothing short of incredible. We saw every animal all thanks to our guide Thadey Benny who went above and beyond for us. We started in Tarangire, lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and lake Eyasi. The Serengeti is so breathtakingly beautiful, the people are beautiful and I’ll definitely be back!

Had a wonderful time in Tanzania. Spent most of the time on Zanzibar, went on a walking tour of Stone Town, the guide was very knowledgeable and even took us through the market to do some shopping. It was both relaxing and fun. Went on a 1 day safari on the mainland, which was nice but didn't see as many animals as I had hoped to. Weather was hot and sunny, water was blue and calming when out on a boat. The local people are very kind, very helpful and very accommodating to the needs of tourists, they helped us a lot to visit all the sites and places of interest in Zanzibar. Great food especially on the East Coast. It felt very safe there both in the day and in the night.

Tanzania is a country with many different faces. From the beaches of zanzibar to the beautiful wildlife in the national parks!
All are worth visiting!

A fantastic trip

Tanzania felt very safe when we followed our guide during the tour. The weather was pleasant, though the sunshine was quite strong during the daytime. The local people were always cheerful, which was truly inspiring.

The Serengeti was vast and breathtaking, full of animals living freely in their natural environment. During the game drive, we could even feel the happiness of the animals. One evening, a group of zebras gathered outside our tent. They never tried to disturb us—they just peacefully grazed on the grass. We never imagined we could be so close to wild animals. It was a deeply healing experience, a place where humans and nature exist in harmony.

The local food was also incredibly fresh and delicious.

For the first six days, we climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with LEKEN Adventure, an excellent company. Alex always replied promptly, even at night, something truly unique about Leken. Our mountain team was also fantastic. Our experienced guide,
Read more William, knows everything about the mountain, and his team gave us amazing support throughout the climb.

Kilimanjaro itself is beautiful, full of unique plants and wildlife. Each day on the mountain was physically tiring but immensely rewarding. Nature truly has a healing power!

We went to the tarangiri nationalpark and it was beautiful but for the rare animals I would definitely recommend the serengeti nationalpark and a minimum of 3 or 4 days for the whole safari to get a great experience.

An incredible trip, stunning places and absurd wildlife spotted during game drives!
The trip is adventurous but worth all the effort.


July is a great month, dry and amazing if you push yourself up to North Serengeti to see the crossing of the Great Migration.

SafariBooking a great website to find different excellent tour operators. You still need to negotiate a bit, after first proposals for fair prices.

We had an amazing 8 day road safari through Tanzania in early June.
Weather was cool in the mornings and evening and warm enough for t shirts and shorts through the day.
Starting in Arusha we did day tours through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and then spent 2 days in each the central and northern Serengeti.
Tarangire was amazing for elephants, abundant in zebras, bird life and the amazing Baobab trees.
Ngorongoro crater was our first sighting for Lions and Hippos, hyenas and again hundreds of zebra and Wilderbeast.
We saw all the big 5 at Ngorongoro except the elusive Rhino…
Our favourite was the central Serengeti… we saw all the big cats here and a leopard devouring his lunch in a tree was amazing.
Giraffes in the central and northern Serengeti were surprisingly prolific and each sighting was as fantastic as the first.
We were incredibly lucky to see the wilderbeast cross the Mara river.. what an epic event, some disappointment
Read more at the various tour companies vehicles blocking the banks as the beast crossed.
The tented camps was an immersive experience, was nice to spend time at the fire with other travellers before dinner.
Delicious food and staff happy to hear about your adventures.
My tips would be to
1.ensure you have an experienced guide for your safari … a lot of cowboys out there… many roadside car troubles due to inexperience
2.enjoy the company of your guide.. we learnt so much more from our guide about the culture and the way of life for locals when we shared our meals with him.
3.do a cultural experience, not just a massai visit but the local farmers, or a school, so friendly to share their experience.
We loved the people in Tanzania.

I was quite dissapointed of Arusha. The city is a transient hotspot and not at all safe or even nice. Its the gateway to Kilimanjaro and Safaris. The food is really bland and not so good.

We did a 7-day safari with African Big Cats Safaris. It was truly a very impactful time in Tanzania. An amazing place full of natural wonders and impactful experiences. We totally loved it all, it’s far too much to try to describe here, just something you have to experience. Endene was a great guide throughout!
