Great Family Safari
The people in Tanzania are so welcoming and the country still feels authentic. We visited several parks. Tarangire Was our first and was really an amazing start. Smaller, but we still saw lots of big game, including lion.
Lake Manyara was also a nice park, the accommodation around the lake was beautiful with wildlife roaming around the camp. Serengeti was truly breathtaking, so vast and so many animals. A fair number of safari trucks, but it only felt crowded a few times when we stopped for a cheater or lions.
It was cool some mornings and we noted it was cooler at altitude. But by 0900 each day it was always pleasant, not too hot either.
We also visited Zanzibar. Stone town is a great place to visit. A day or two is all you need here I’d say. We then hit the beaches which were beautiful. We were disappointed that plastic waste did wash up on the beach most days. The hotel were great about picking it up each day, but it did come in on the tides.

Everything we ever dreamed of experiencing on Safari
We had an amazing experience in Tanzania in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our primary goal was to witness the great wildebeest herd migration, and we experienced that close up, but so much more. Everyday in Serengeti we saw lions, chetah, and leopards, plus other incredible sightings. Our driver with Best Days Safaris was knowledgeable, and worked long, hard hours to show us everything we hoped for on safari. Best Days Safari organized the entire trip and really did an excellent job of filling each day with adventure and choosing great accommodations. The Serengeti was so diverse with its landscapes and habitats. The highlight day began with watching hundreds of thousands of wildebeest migrate towards Kenya, and then after patiently watching the herd movement, experiencing tens of thousands of wildebeest stampede to the Mara River and cross to the other side while several crocodiles waited on banks in the river, but chose not to attack. We followed that experience with an up close viewing of several male and female lions in some beautiful grasslands. The camps where we stayed were all excellent and very hospitable. Every day in the bush is an opportunity to see something that you have never seen before and Tanzania did not disappoint. We began the trip with three-days in Zanzibar followed by our 5-days in Serengeti/Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzania has all the adventure anyone would desire.

Great wildlife and nice landscape
We loved to travel by local bus in Tanzania! We met nice people, the country has amazing beaches, beautiful landscape and a great wildlife. We recommand the agency "beach and wilderness" where we booked our safari. The service was great and everything worked well.

A fantastic way to experience a magnificent country.
Could not recommend Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club more. Kelly was a terrific guide - knowledgeable, personable, professional, and fun. Everything about this tour was perfect. We saw an abundance of animals in their natural setting, gorgeous landscapes, and stayed in camps that were both luxurious and authentic. And it is good to know we booked a local company that takes good care of its employees. Would give 10 stars if it was an option.

Amazing safari destination, especially Tarangire and Serengeti!
We did a 10-day safari trip with Soul of Tanzania in late July / early August 2022, visiting: Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Central and Northern Serengeti, then off to Zanzibar. Four of us (3 family + 1 friend) traveled together in our private vehicle, with expert guide and excellent driver(!), George. An amazing adventure, in which we saw multitudes of elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, dik-diks, impalas, lions, cheetahs, baboons, a few leopards, and some exotic snakes: a huge python, and a spitting cobra. Accommodations throughout were great - we especially enjoyed: Nyikani Tarangire Camp, Escarpment Luxury Lodge, Nimali Serengeti and Sayari Lodge on the safari portion (all had good food and attractive surroundings) and in Zanzibar the Zawadi was absolutely first class in every respect. Can't say enough great things about our amazing trip! Many thanks to Soul of Tanzania for a memorable trip of a lifetime!

Beyond any expectations.
The trip to the Serengeti National Park was exceptionally nice. Our tour operator Lion King Adventures created a very nice itinerary for us and our guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable and persistent in finding all the interesting animal sightings. The tented camps were extraordinary in providing comfort and good food. The service was exceptional.
Unfortunately, there was one unpleasant moment when my husband was cheated while buying a souvenir in a Masaai village.
Otherwise, the trip was beyond our wildest expectations.
Thank you , Lion King Adventures and Peter.

Wonderful for the whole family
We want to take this time and say thank you to Selous Exploerer for helping us create wonderful memories with our children in Tanzania. Our guide and driver Hassan was wonderful and very patient with our children. He was also a very careful and diligent driver. Our kids enjoyed his extensive knowledge of the wildlife and the nature surrounding the national park. As well as a story underneath the baobab tree.

Would have been fantastic except my driver/guide JOSEPH was horrible!
Tanzania itself was fascinating, loved all the animals and the unique scenery. I visited Tarangire NP, Serengeti, and Ngorongo. I wish I had a good guide since the one I was stuck with was unprofessional in every way. If you are going to Tanzania I highly recommend it just make sure your guide/driver isn't named Joseph.
