A country with big potential.
We went on a safari while it rained. Because of the rain we did not see leopards and lions. Altough we saw hyenas who was eating a freshly catched animal. We also saw very friendly giraffes and antilopes. And a elephant family with two baby elephants. There were no mosqitoes.

Avoid January
We went to Gombe NP (amazing chimps) and Selous Game Reserve. As it rained during all of our stay, the second safari experience was terrible. No animals, roads in the worst of conditions possible. 7 hours from Far Es Salaam are too many for this park. next time I would spend more and go to Serengeti, at least the money would worth it more.
Generally speaking Tanzania is quite expensive

great hikes and people on the mainland, unpleasant in touristy areas
people on the mainland were absolutely lovely and very friendly, in Zanzibar the experience was the opposite - very insolent and everyone treats you like a bag of money. terrible flight coordination - your boarding pass, airport schedule and actual departure time are completely unrelated, resulting in unexpected change of plans as you go

Decent Safari experience with the guide asking about tip everytime
The experience of Safari was really valuable, except our guide keep talking us about tipping him whenever he has some free time, which made us very upset.
Tip your driver and guide is not a mandatory thing. I want to tip someone only if I am satisfied with the service. But our guide was quite demanding, keep asking about it. Now all I remember from the Safari is ripping off from the tour guide lol
The time we spent at Safari was only 3-4 hours, and we could see wild animals like giraffs and elephant etc.
We are not lucky enough to come across liones or leopards.
It was a precious experience, but I can not recoomend you taking a SUV for more than 7 hours from dar es salaam to Mikumi.

Truely "world class" wildlife and scenery but with food poisoning

sitting all day. But the other three, possibly four times, were from top-rated, high-end, "Western" restaurants. We never ate street food. In the end, it felt like you could not escape getting sick unless you only ate or drank "factory-sealed" items (even if they said they used bottled water for the ice or coffee.) I tried to stay positive, but it was the worst experience we've had as a family (and we've been to Thailand, Columbia, South Africa twice, across the Pacific, and Greece). If I had to do it again, I'd only stay at an inclusive lodge where they felt ownership for food safety. Sadly, I would not go out to eat, which is a big part of our travels. I'll accept food poisoning once, maybe twice, but every two or three days for four different, relatively experienced people across three locations is a systemic hygiene issue.

Sympathetic
Tanzania was an experience. There were good things and other not so good.
Zanzibar was nice. Arusha too. The safari was good but definitely over priced. Almost 200 usd to sleep in tents and take a shower with cold water??? Our tour was oversold too. We had some inconveniences....so irecomm6to book direct6with a tour comp9, not agents ( agents are nice's s extremely helpful but, they don6do direct6the safari and if there is a complain they fix anything).

The country had beautiful wild life. The city exposure was not very pleasant to experience.
The wildlife safari was an awesome experience. There were so many animals I was able to see.
nice to see once
We were not lucky to visit national game park in rain season at the coast near DAR es Salaam. Due to the high grass and bush we did not see a lot of animals,Dar es Salaam is a big city with not a nice vibe.

Safari was disappointing
Disappointing safari
This was our third safari the last 2 were in masa mari National park this one was in Nyerere national park
We booked through Greg adventures and would not use them again
They flew us outside the national park and arrived at 7 am and we couldn’t enter the park til after 11 am because they only paid 2 days park fee when though we were quoted for a 3 day safari
We drove nearly 7 hours to get to our hotel through desperate roads
We ended up having to buy a flight out from a nearby airstrip as we couldn’t face the journey again
The park is nowhere near as good as masa mari it’s hard to see the animals with all the growth and we could drive fir ages without seeing anything
Overall disappointing and had a lot of upset all down to the agent we booked through
