Home to the best wildlife

5/5

We had the best time in Tanzania. We did a 5-day Safari (Lake Manyara NP, Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Crater). They all have their highlights. Tarangire was very special due to the concentration of animals, where we easily saw several scenes with elephants, zebras, antelopes and giraffes all together. Serengeti was the most amazing place we visited given the long flat plains of wild lands, where we had the chance to see cheetah, leopard and many lions. And Ngorongoro crater is a beautiful crater full of wildlife. Of course that an important part of the Safari is the driver/guide and were lucky to have Freddy with us during the full trip. He was fun, informed about the animal easily spotting them in the landscape and always happy to answer questions about the culture and lifestyle in Tanzania. Indeed the full staff was very professional and efficient from the tour operator Jackson to the cooker (Denisius). We highly recommend booking a safari with SafariBookings.

Breathtaking beauty and a way of life

We did 4 parks: tarangire, ngorongoron, Serengeti and lake manyara.

All of them provided something special in their environment. The weather was perfect and we saw all of the animals. Lomo Tanzania safaris did an amazing job creating this experience for us and all was above what we could wish for.

I fell in love with Tanzania and am already planning a trip back!

Tarangiri NP and Serengeti were just fabolous, but also the villages, Masais, all locals, nature and landscape in general - I loved exploring everything every day!
Meals were delicious during the tour and tenting in the Serengeti was for me personally the best.

If you ever doubt which "place to see" for your bucket list...don't hesitate to include a safari in Tanzania! Wildlife is gorgeous, people are friendly and they seemed to have invented the best smile to give and the landscape is the best to forget about life ups and downs...there it seems humans do not count, it's the animals, the nature and the sky that matter!
Just adventure yourself and enjoy the visit!

Amazing safari experience!

Me and my family (wife and kids 13 and 10 yo) travelled with Soul of Tanzania and spent four days in Ngorongoro, central Serengeti and Lake Manyara. We had an amazing few days with our guide Gabriel, who was very knowledgeable, a good communicator and great at spotting rare wildlife. We saw nine leopards and three cheetahs in Serengeti for example, which is above and beyond anything we have experienced at other African safaris. Our top experience was a balloon safari over Serengeti at sunrise. If you get the opportunity, I strongly recommend it!

We visited Tanzania in October 2022, and we loved it. The people were friendly and our Savannah Explorers driver/guide was fantastic. A lovely, knowledgeable man who did everything he could to make our visit a success.
It’s an amazing country with wildlife in abundance, huge numbers of healthy happy animals, beautiful birds and lovely people. We travelled to 4 different parks, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, The Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
We then moved to Zanzibar for 10 days, which wasn’t the perfect paradise island I anticipated, built up and heavily populated. However, our hotel was lovely Double Tree Hilton, and the people very welcoming.
I have told all our friends this is the country to go to for Safaris, and I can say this with all honesty, it’s a fantastic place to visit and we loved it

We went to Tanzania for our honeymoon. This country is magnificent, it is paradise on earth. Tanzanians are very welcoming and smiling. In October the air and water temperature is just perfect.

Amazing wildlife
Overall rating
5/5

Visited in October with Savannah Explorer and it was amazing to see the animals in their natural surroundings. About 2 to 2 hours drive to each national park and the public toilets were nice and clean. Be prepared for a bumpy ride as the roads can be quite rough. We managed to witness the Wilderbeest migration. The accommodation provided were nice and comfortable and the staff looked after you well. Tanzania is rich in culture and they made you feel welcoming.

Spent time in the national parks on safari. Saw lots of animals up close including lions, leopards and cheetahs. Very fantastic experience. Plus our guide , Lemomo, was very knowledgable, and the other people at Safari Z went out of their way to help us. Stay in the parks if you can. Hear the animals prowling at night. Staff at the lodges also added to the experience. We both would recommend the trip.

Incredible landscapes and unique wildlife

We went with Roadside Tanzania tour operator on 3day safari to Ngorongoro, Tarangire and lake Manyara. Our tour guide Ezekhiel spoke very well English, his driving skills were exquisite, friendly and easygoing person. Our accommodation was very nice, quiet and comfortable place with really good food and beautiful garden. 3 days might be a little too much if you don't have a lot of energy to drive for hours in the heat on bumpy roads, and personally I would skip lake Manyara if I were to choose again (don't get me wrong it is also really nice). Ngorongoro is an absolute must-see. We did not see only cheetah and rhino but these are very rare so don't have high hopes. Overall definitely money well spent. If you are also planning to go to Zanzibar, we highly discourage you to book hotels in Kendwa / Nungwi region. The beach hustlers are impossible there - absolutely zero relax on the beach. They swarm you and never just let you sit in peace. Same if you go to eat something in the village. Paje and Matemwe was a lot better and much more scenic. Amazing low-tides. But again people at Paje beach were also annoying, especially when they try to sell you drugs which is encountered daily. We have stayed on Zanzibar for 2 weeks and I would cut that to 1 week maximum, probably choosing Paje for 5 days and Stone Town for 2. If you like kitesurfing, you can stay longer - perfect conditions there, but it is really expensive also.
