Incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience I'm sure will never be topped!

We had an amazing time on our safari in Tanzania. We visited Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Lake Eyasi, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro! We went in March, so it was off-season, and it was incredible. We only got rain 1 day, though rain was predicted for several. The weather was warm and sunny most days, hot and sunny one day, and rainy and cold one day.
The wildlife we saw was incredible. We didn't go during the migration, but we still saw so many amazing animals and tons of babies! We didn't see predator activity (possibly too hot), but still did see predators. We didn't get to see Crocodiles or Leopards on our trip, but many people we met said they saw leopards! We were jealous.
The people were lovely. Very welcoming and always willing to help out. The roads were dusty on dry days and a bit bumpy, and windy to Serengeti and Ngorongoro (take meds if you get motion sickness!). But, our tour truck provided cushions on the seats and that helped so much. Hardly noticed the rough conditions most of the time.
We want to go back!

We had beautiful 3 days in safari and relaxed another week in Zanzibar after. Very happy we did safari first because you need some time to rest afterwards. Recommend to visit Serengeti and Ngorongoro, fantastic places!

Unforgettable experience with Commiphora Africana Safari

We had an incredible experience travelling from Kilimanjaro Airport to the Namanga border. Everything was perfectly organized by Jackson, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the trip without any concerns. Our guide, Hussain, was exceptional, making the journey truly unforgettable as we spotted numerous lions, leopards, and other breathtaking animals. By the end of the trip, we had witnessed so many stunning sights that we decided to put our cameras down and simply savour the experience.

We wholeheartedly recommend Commiphora Africana Safari to all our friends and family.

The Mikumi National park was very beautifull, we seen a lot different animals. The Safari had we booked by KIHINDO safari’s and the communication was very good, winnie keeps in touch before and after the safari.

We stayed in Dar es Salaam but we found it very busy en chaotic.

Truly one of the best experiences

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Tanzania, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. From the breathtaking landscapes to the warm and welcoming locals, every moment was extraordinary.

The highlight of my trip was exploring the national parks, especially Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti was surreal—thousands of wildebeests and zebras moving across the plains, with predators lurking nearby. The safari guides were knowledgeable and ensured we had the best chance to spot the Big Five.

Mount Kilimanjaro stood majestically in the distance, and though I didn’t attempt the climb this time, just seeing it was inspiring. The beaches in Zanzibar offered a perfect contrast with their white sands and turquoise waters—ideal for unwinding after the adventure-filled safaris. We swam with wild dolphins and got to explore the beautiful coral embedded with thousands of marine life.

The local culture
Read more was another highlight. Visiting Maasai villages and learning about their traditions and way of life was both humbling and enriching. The people of Tanzania were incredibly friendly, always greeting us with a smile.

The weather was warm and pleasant in most regions, making it easy to explore. As for safety, I felt secure throughout my journey. Following local advice and using reputable guides made all the difference.

If you’re a nature enthusiast or someone seeking a mix of adventure and culture, Tanzania should be at the top of your list. I can’t wait to return someday!

Tanzania is a magical country which should be on everyone's bucket list.

For many years we had dreamed of a safari trip and when we finally booked an 11 day holiday in Tanzania we were not disappointed.
The country is beautiful with incredible scenery and wildlife. Each day we were overwhelmed with the variety of animals and birdlife, and the guides were so knowledgeable. There is no rivalry between the companies, they all want the best experience for their guests and communicate via radios when one of the Big Five is spotted! We stayed at stunning lodges during our trip and the warmth and professionalism of the staff were way beyond many 5 star hotels in other parts of the world. To ensure your safety you are walked from and back to your lodge when dark which reminds you that there are wild animals around. When you open your blinds in the morning and discover a male baboon sitting on your veranda you know that this is not the run of the mill holiday!
We booked with Kojuu Safaris who arranged an amazing trip for us. Our guide Peter was outstanding
Read more and we will never forget his kindness and commitment to ensuring that we had a truly unforgettable safari.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Tanzanian safari. We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park including the northern part near the Mara river, and Ngorongoro crater. All of the accommodations were excellent. The Simba lodge had a watering hole right next to it where we saw elephants, zebras, warthogs, and storks. The tented camps in the Serengeti were very comfortable and close to the animals, including one night with a Hippo munching on grass right by our tent! We used Makasa Tanzanian Safaris. They were very responsive to all our inquiries. Our guide, Jamal, was AWESOME! He knew where to find the animals and was also quite knowledgeable about birds. We saw 40 different animals and more than 90 kinds of birds. We saw the big 5 and much much more. Some of the highlights were:
the massing of many different kinds of animals at the Tarangire river
spotting the African Wild Dog (Cape Hunting Dog) an endangered and very rare species
viewing lots of animals
Read more at the watering hole next to the Simba Lodge
seeing a large pride of lions comprised of 2 males, 5 females, and 13 cubs
a mother lion nursing her 7 cubs (she also carried one around in her mouth)
3 wildebeest migrations across the Mara river
2 female lions stalking and killing a zebra right in front of our eyes
Spotting a rhino up close

I loved my time in Tanzania!

I started at Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro crater, which had a really good balance between catering to tourists (plenty of places to see the animals from, established camp sites) and still being genuine wildlife reserves (no paved roads, animals walking free). I got to see quite a few lions, hippopotami, and giraffes, as well as more zebras and gazelles than you could count.

Next stop was Dar-es-Salaam, and then I took the ferry to Zanzibar. The whole island is beautiful, and Stone Town is like a time warp.

The people I met were all really friendly, which made it so much better, and I was really sad when I had to leave to get back to the real world.

Our first time on safari but not our first time in Tanzania … we keep coming back because the people are so fantastic but this time with a four day safari it was epic … we started in Dodoma did Tarangiri, then Ngorongoro finishing with the Serengeti before being dropped off in Musoma … our guide Moses was amazing, the eyes of a hawk so we saw just about everything we could have hoped for from lions and their cubs, to cheetahs a few metres away to hyaena on a lion kill and the most fantastic birds and views you could wish for … thanks safari bookings for providing the links to find our safari company
