Great experience

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 0 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5
We took a your days tour to Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater and Serengeti Park. The first day we had a shared tour with four other great people and a decent guide and saw some beautiful landscape and some animals but the lodge (Africa Safari) was overflooded and looked nothing like the pictures on booking. The company must have known this because on Booking was clearly stated by the guests that this happend a lot this year.
The next day we had a group of two people from Germany that acted really aggressive towards us and especially the driver because he was late to pick him up. He was disrespectful for an hour threatening and talking aggressive and the guide just stood there and did not react at all (he also talked to his boss threatening that he is important and his time is important). This ruined the experience at the Ngorogoro Crater because we had to spend all day with them in that car, which was definitely a shame because it was the most beautiful place we saw in this four
Read more days.
Afterwards we stayed at a beautiful hotel with an incredible view near the Crater also called Africa Safari.
All three guides said that Serengeti Park is the most beautiful in Tanzania but maybe not in December because all the animals were in the sout of the park and we did not know that when we booked two days in the central part. I think the people from the company organizing the tour don t know this or don t care, because to set a tour for two days at Serengeti Park where there are almost no animals is really not ok.
Also be careful when booking the tour to make sure where the flights are right. On the sheet from them it was drawn a flight from central Serengeti but in fact was a flight from Kilimanjaro (an 8 hour road). When we mentioned this to the staff from the company they tried to mend it by offering an upgrade of the logde in Serengeti Park (which was nice and clean).

Richful in nature

Happy to have taken a safari tour to Tanzania, got to experience rich wildlife. In Lake Manyara, we saw sleeping lions in trees, many exotic animals, and not least a whole giraffe family, all up close. I found Tarangire a bit boring, nothing much to see except for elephants and ostriches. Ngorongoro was epic, the wildlife, the nature, and the sheer size of the place. We saw nearly all the animals, except for the cheetah. All in all, I recommend taking a safari tour.

An enjoyable trip...

Our Tanzania vacation was great. We enjoyed seeing the Big 5 and many other animals. Wilda beasts and Zebras galore during migration. We saw 2 animals when we were on the hot air balloon. It was a fun experience. The landings are bumpy! The problem we had was that there were controlled burns while we were on safari. Many areas were filled with smoke which made sighting more difficult. The accommodations were superior but there was a lot of backtracking from parks to hotel. I would recommend a fly in safari or staying on site in the parks if possible. The tour guides were exceptional; Chris, Eric, Enoch, and Christian. Enoch was exceptionally kind, helping mom (83 years old) climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro! On our extra day we went to Serval Wildlife Rescue Park. A hands on experience; touch, pet and feed giraffes, impalas, an adult male lion, and many other animals.

Fantastic wildlife and friendly people in Serengeti area national park

Our visit to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti was very impressive, Very good to see all the animals in their natural environment, and thousands and thousand of them.
Staff in hotel and other places communicate well in English and very service minded and performed their task in a very good way, everybody very polite and friendly.
At the entrance of all games park there were exceptional clean toilets, have not seen this high performance any other tourist place in the world, very well done.
Good car and skilled driver/guide operated by Full Package Adventures made to trip memorable.

Beautiful country with quality hospitality

We visited Tanzania in the first week of October. The weather was great. We had one day of light rain, but otherwise it was sunny and warm (not too hot). We visited Tarangire (so many elephants!), Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti (of course). We were in Northern Serengeti and witnessed a river crossing -- spectacular! In retrospect, I probably could have skipped Tarangire. I wanted to make sure I saw elephants, but there were plenty in Central Serengeti. The roads in the parks are dusty! Be prepared.
We loved our guide, but we had some issues with our tour operator, who is based in Tanzania. I wanted to use a local operator, but I think that led to some issues regarding the payment process. I might stick with a domestic (for me) operator so I don't have to deal with international transactions the next time around.
The hospitality at all of our lodgings was excellent. Service was top-notch. Tanzania, specifically the Serengeti (in my opinion), is a must-visit at least once in your lifetime.

Despite the wife being extremely ill(2days in bed), it was an experience worth listing in our bucket list.
Ngorongoro was definitely the highlight

I like the whole trip, 4 days is definitely enough for me. I don't see there is a reason to have a longer trip. We are quite lucky to see all the rare animals including leopard and rhinos.

Take away food was like meh, so don't expect too much on the lunch side.

Magnificent Nature and wildlife

4 / 5 4 /5

The parks the animals the camps are amazing! We were so lucky and the weather was amazing! The most important point for Tanzania is the nature and the wild animals! But the most downsize thing are the street and beach hawkers all over areas where tourists are! They do not let people enjoy their vacation as they permanently asking for money and want to give them their services which are non existent. I was in Namibia and this was lasting hawkers there were 90% less there!
