Wild life in Serengeti

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5

We went for a five day tour to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and saw a lot of wild life and amazing views. We saw lion, cheetah and leopard cubs. We also saw 3 cheetahs hunting a Thomson´s gazelle, hippos very active in the water measuring their mouths, giraffes, elephants, ... We saw more active life than expected. We also went on a trip on a hot balloon with Miracle Experience Balloon Safaris and I recommend it. You can see Serengeti and its views and wild life from another prespective.

Beautiful country, would recommend much higher prices for permits

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 0 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5
The scenery in the little we saw of Tanzania was spectacular -- we LOVED the country and all of its people we managed to meet. But it occurred that much more that could be done with money from raising the cost of permits/entrance fees, for the game parks -- such as improved roads and jeeps that do not run on diesel and spew toxic exhaust (how about solar panels on the roof that tourists raise to see out?). Yes, we saw many wild animals close-up, which is indeed great for a first safari experience, but scores of jeeps dashing from one sighting to another left the impression of a safari park, where the animals are no longer "wild" but super-accustomed to being only feet away from humans. One poor cheetah mother protecting several cubs sat in the grass surrounded by jeeps, unable to reach her gazelle kill, which was rotting in the sun and increasingly likely to attract hyenas. So perhaps higher permit costs will reduce the number of tourists slightly while enabling infrastructure
Read more improvements and perhaps enforceable limits on how many jeeps may approach an animal at one time. Just a thought.

Tanzania is a surprise for me, I was blown away how ecosystem interacting right before my eyes, in the flesh! It’s very grounding to see tribes and villages during our trip. People in Tanzania are very warm and welcoming. It is beautiful to see different landscapes, and weather was perfect the time we went. Overall Tanzania is breathtaking!

Very nice wild life and very African country

4 / 5 4 /5

Tanzania is a truly beautiful country with breathtaking nature and wildlife. The safaris and landscapes can exceed all expectations – sometimes things turn out even better than you imagined. At the same time, traveling here means embracing a very authentic African experience.

It’s important to be prepared for some challenges along the way. Roads can be rough, and getting a flat tire every now and then is quite normal. Public toilets outside the national parks are often just simple holes in the ground – there’s never toilet paper, so bring your own. Even inside the parks, where “Western-style” toilets are provided, many are poorly maintained.

Another thing to keep in mind is pricing. As a tourist, you will often be asked to pay much more than the local rate. Whether you decide to negotiate or just accept the difference depends on your own comfort level. Ordering food can also be a lesson in patience: a simple lunch might easily take an hour before
Read more it arrives, but that’s just part of the local rhythm.

If you prefer to stay fully in the “tourist bubble,” you’ll be more shielded from these aspects. But if you step outside it, you’ll experience both the challenges and the charm of everyday life in Tanzania. Either way, the incredible wildlife and landscapes more than make up for the occasional inconvenience.

Unbelievable, culture and wildlife everywhere

We booked a 14 day safari hoping to see the great migration, and some of the wildlife. Our guide, who was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, their habitats and migration patterns, knew exactly where to take us to get the most out of our safari. We saw the great migration twice, and the big 5 multiple times. This was truly a once in a lifetime trip. I look at the pictures I took, and I still can't believe I saw all these beautiful animals.

Mainland natural parks and reserves are breathtaking, from sunrise to sunset.
People are usually friendly and helpful.

I recommend this adventure. It was amazing. We booked only one day and don’t get me wrong it was enough. But if I knew how unique it was I would have booked more days. Strongly recommend it, worth every penny. 💙
