Beautiful location
Overall rating
4/5

We went to Nyerere wildlife park and it was beautiful with some amazing sites and incredible animals to see. Local culture was amazing and people were generally very friendly. The tour operator was very good too (Daigle Tours). However, for how much we are paying, I do not believe that enough is going to the locals who do the activities. When speaking to some of the locals, they are reliant on tips from travellers rather than being fairly paid by the tour operator for their services. This should be looked into. It does not mean the prices for tours go up, it means the tour gives a bigger share to the locals.

Fantastic safari experience.

4/5

Tanzania was great! We had organized a safari with Safari Soles before we arrived. Our 10 day safari tour was mind blowing, We did not expect the variety of animals and the accommodations and food were fantastic. Each park had its highlights. We enjoyed the northern park areas more as the southern parks were much busier with tourist traffic. We had fantastic weather and enjoyed being guided by a Massi to some waterfalls and to Natron lake.

Next we flew to Zanzibar for 10 days. The Nungwi beach was beautiful. In Stone Town we enjoyed watching the beach activities, walking through town, the tasty food and the markets. Overall Tanzanians are very welcoming. We never felt unsafe; however the majority of vendors were uncomfortably pushy. Be sure to negotiate prices of tours and items.

The scenery was beautiful and varied throughout Tanzania. We enjoyed a day trip to the foothills of Kilimanjaro where we learned how coffee was grown and the locals had us participate in making a good cup. They also cooked us a delicious lunch.

We really enjoyed our holiday!

Astonishing experience
Overall rating
4/5

Tanzania's National Park are a dreamy reality. Crossing their gates meant to me detaching from reality, society and all the problems related, it felt like a peaceful and spiritual reality where I regained a lost relationship with nature and animals. Sleeping inside the tented camps in the park was incredibly peaceful, it was really a dream, during the night animals roam around your tent, and we could hear zebras, hyenas, buffalos ecc.. Serengeti then was a real gem, we saw all the big five and many hunting scenes and lion cubs.
We choose Colours Africa Tours as operator and they were really helpful, always on time and always listening to our requests, they put us in amazing accomodations and give us delicious food, and I think they provide a really good quality service compared to the price. Overall that's an experience I would 100% repeat. Also, even when in Arusha or Zanzibar we felt safe walking around by ourselves in the villages, which is something you can't do everywhere in the continent. The weather was hot but pleasant in the mainland and in the parks, only in the Ngorongoro Crater it was very cool, but in Zanzibar it was, in my opinion, intolerably humid.

I thought it was nice country with great wildlife and friendly people. Aside from the wild life and the Serengeti, we did not have time to see much else. Arusha is meh, you wouldn't go there except to go on safari. The lodges are uneven but generally plenty nice enough. The food is generally just OK--but again you don't go there to eat. Our guide was outstanding--so skilled at spotting wildlife and more determined than even we were to make sure we saw it. His name is Joseph with Lion King Adventures. We did do a day trip to Kilimanjaro but I wouldn't bother. The beginning of the trail that you would see could be anywhere. Like many, we never caught a glimpse of the mountain due to clouds!

We had great time with our nice driver and great cooker during this week in the main parks of Tanzania! It was worth it; just hope human beings would change their minds about nature preservation and help our children see these species for a looooong future.

We enjoyed very much our trip. I cannot wait for my next safari trip! Tanzania has a very large wildlife, many different parks quite close to each other. Booking with this site was very easy and safe, everything went well.

One in a lifetime ?!
Overall rating
4/5

We have been dreaming of a safari in Tanzania for years. We have already done Kenya and South Africa, so we had great expectations, and guess what, they have all been fullfilled!
We enjoyed every moment of the safari; the scenery, the wildlife, real life Tanzania driving from one park to another, both our lodges as the tentcamps, ...
We couldn't imagine a better guide (Thank you, Amos!).
We were lucky enough to experience 'The big move' and to observe 'The big five' (one through binoculars). We covered more than 1,000km and visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Park.
As an extra day trip we chose 'Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour & Kilkuletwa Hotsprings Day Tour'; we would also recommend this trip. Just make sure you wear the right shoes as the path can be slippery.
All communication through 360safari went smoothly & correct (Thank you, Pedro).
They even picked up our suitcases at the airport, which arrived a few days later.
If we could, we would go back tomorrow!
