Wow! is a word that I would use a lot to describe Tanzania

We had a great tour through Lappet Faced Safaris in June 2024, we went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Olduvai Gorge, Lake Manyara NP, Tarangire NP and Kilimanjaro. Although the Great Migration was late this year we still saw herds of thousands of wildebeest in Serengeti. We experienced the local culture of a Masai tribe where we joined in tribal activities. In Olduvai Gorge (locally called Oldupai) which lies in the Great Rift Valley it was amazing to see the cradle of humankind and to browse through the exhibits in the museum. It was truly spectacular doing a day long game drive in Ngorongoro Crater with flamingoes, lions, zebra, plenty of other game and hyenas taking down a wildebeest. Lake Manyara and Tarangire were very different but both have plenty to view. Tarangire however is like Grand Central Station on a weekend due to the day tripper access from Arusha. We were truly fortunate to view Mt Kilimanjaro without cloud covering, it was a huge wow moment for us when the clouds dispersed and we saw it for the first time.

Unforgettable

5 / 5 5 /5

A bucket list item and an unforgettable trip in everyway. From sleeping under the starlight (which the night sky is so much more beautiful since you are away from cities/towns and their night pollution), to camping next to animals without any dividers or fences, to seeing all different types of animals and birds, both from afar and close, to meeting new friends and fellow travelers, to seeing animals both sleeping and active and migrating (part of the Great Migration), this trip was so memorable and magical in every way. So satisfied. Shoutout to our guide Douglas for an amazing job, accommodating our every request to position the jeep to help get the best pictures.

The review below is the personal opinion of Joost and not that of SafariBookings.

Overpriced and overrated

2 / 5 2 /5

absolutely, the great migration is a spectacle you must see at least once. But other than that, I found Tanzania to be mostly disappointing. Not so much what we all saw, but more the overall experience. If you keep in mind that you are visiting the most expensive national parks in the world, you expect something in return. In the Serengeti, for example, I think the roads were extremely bad. We did 10 days of full day safaris, which at the end I almost couldn't last because of the back pain. The rest camps are completely worthless and unpleasant. Again, for the most expensive national parks in the world you can really expect more. The distances between our sightings were often enormous. Everyone drives through the Serengeti at unprecedented speed to make sure you don't miss a lion that is then sitting 200 meters off the road... And which you are watching with 70 other cars... Guides do not behave professionally, push the animals too much and the tourists are also 'once in
Read more a lifetime safari poop', which you can see from their behavior. It is often noisy during sightings and I found it difficult to enjoy it. All in all disappointing, not value for money and the safaris were not romantic and relaxing as I often feel in private parks.

We went first week of June and weather was perfect, cool mornings and evenings and about 25degrees centigrade in the middle of the day. Scenery and wildlife were incredible and the parks are relatively quiet so no mobs of vehicles. Saw the big 5 plus loads of other animals and birds galore.
Parks - 1 day Tarangire, 2 days Serengeti and 1 day Ngorongoro Crater which was perfect. Would make it an absolute must, great experience, very friendly people, and we felt very safe.

The roads are disgusting. I feel sorry for the vehicle and driver
The roads department should get there together and do something about it
