coffee plantations and countless unique plant life we saw was incredible. The weather was about perfect one day was a little hot in the Sarengeti and a light rain at night a couple of times. All in all this was a trip of a lifetime!

Except for the government run accommodations, a successful and recommendable trip
We were assigned a driver with the name "Zakaria"
He was an absolute stroke of luck. He is integer, educated and a good helpful driver.
Mikumi NP: There was no soap, towel or toilet paper in the bungalow. The mosquito net only covered half of the bed. Therefore it was absolutely unusable. The outside doors had a 2 cm. gap at the bottom. As soon as light was turned on, a number of insects and bugs came into the room, attracted by the light.
Ruha National Park: In the bungalow there was toilet paper, but no linen in the bed, no soap and the window was only up to the half with an insect screen.
For the price I paid, I did not expect anything great, but such minimalism surprised me. Because that is not a question of cost, but of basic service.
The food in both cases was, to put it kindly, functional.

I strongly recommend contacting both Park Headquarters to remedy the situation.I am convinced that these shortcomings are only disinterest and laziness.
Please advise clients before booking that this are government run accommodations. These are often worse- worldwide.
Mloka Safari Lodge: You immediately notice the difference between accommodations provided by the government and privately run.
Here everything was just right. Nice clean bungalow, with towel, soap and toilet paper. The room was hosed down before going to sleep. Good service, good food. Highly recommended. The boat tour could have been spared, especially since we started half an hour later, as a guide had to be found first.
Summary:
Booking: Very good
Driver: Excellent
Accommodation in the NP: Unsatisfactory
Safari: Very Good
Overall rating: Good

once in a lifetime experience
One of the most memorable tour of our life., we as a family enjoyed to the fullest everything about tanzania., the jungle , the wild animals, the stay in tents in open jungle in serengeti and lions and hyenas roaming around tents the entire night., and ofcourse the zanzibar beaches and wild life encounter at cheetah rock., not to forget swimming with sea turtles and horse in zanzibar., for the first time we came across a site, where we got names of 3 different travel agency with different quotes to compare., nice concept and everyone planning himself should make use this idea. overall, a beautiful trip with humble peoples and wild animals. thanx

Amazing country for your next safari
This was my second visit to Tanzania, the first being in 2017. Would have been back sooner of not for Covid. I have mainly been to the north vising the parks of Mkomazi, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and of course the Serengeti. My main reason for travelling to Tanzania is to see the migration and it hasn't disappointed on either occasion. I am an animal lover and have been blown away by the diversity of the parks and sheer numbers of animals that can be observed. It is like living your own National Geographic documentary. I also must compliment the accommodations I have stayed in. They have all been clean, well-appointed and the staff extremely helpful and friendly. The only down-side is the load shedding with the electricity this trip in Arusha, but the hotel did have a generator which kicked in quickly. The quality and quantity of the food offered at the hotels and the campgrounds and lodges. Lastly but by no means least was the friendliness of the local people (including the local guides), which put me at ease and made the trips that much more pleasant.

A dream comes true
Tanzania is amazing. The people was really friendly and helpful. The landscape are wonderful and every National Park are really different. We visited Serengeti, Ngongoro Crater and Tarangire NP. To see and hear all the animals (incl. Big 5) was really a adventure. The lodges was also comfortable. We will come back!

Absolutely Amazing!
I had an amazing safari tour with my husband in July 2022 in Tanzania. Despite our flight being delayed for over an hour, it was not a problem at all as Justin was always available and reachable. Our driver, Salum, was fantastic! He accompanied us throughout the entire safari and was a wonderful person. When I urgently needed a hairbrush because I had forgotten mine, he even helped us find a store. The safari itself was truly unique, and we saw many incredible animals. We even encountered a herd of elephants crossing the road right in front of us. The guided tour through the forest was also breathtaking. There were waterfalls, springs where we swam, and scenic viewpoints. Visiting the Maasai people was an absolute highlight as we learned a lot and discovered many new things. After the safari, Salum brought us back to Tanzania and even arranged the ferry tickets for us. We then continued our vacation in Zanzibar. Overall, the safari was a 10/10, and I would highly recommend it to everyone! It was a wonderful adventure!!

Experienced and attentive company. Very professional, experienced and friendly guide
Very pleasant experience that exceeded our expectations. An unforgettable 3-day Safari with our very organized, attentive guide Benni who always took the time even with a busy schedule.
We were able to see 31 different animals, including the big 5!! And yes we saw the rhino

Amazing safaris!
We visited Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti parks. All were so wonderful, wildlife and scenery was amazing. So many different animal and birds! We witnessed the wildebeest migration, and had the opportunity to see a wildebeest river crossing! Services from our operator Gosheni Safaris were perfect, and the different lodges and tented camps we stayed at were really nice, with nice accomodation and food. Services in the lodges and tented camps was very professionnal and friendly. Weather was always nice, about 25-27 deg C. We felt safe everywhere we went. We did the hot air balloon safari in Northern Serengeti; it is really a must; so nice to see animals and landscape from above! Again, Tanzania is such a perfect destination for wildlife and birding; we saw 4 different kind of felines, tons of girafes, elephants, antilope and elk of many kinds monkeys, mongooses etc etc and saw the ''big five'' during our trip. Plus hundreds of magnificent birds, plus the incredible savanna landscape. A really amazing experience!
