I and my family had a great safari experience in Tanzania this summer! We drove for more than 1,000 Km from Kilimanjaro to North Serengeti visiting Tarangire Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Park and Serengeti. Our driver Festo was a great guide across the whole journey. We encountered lots of wildlife, enjoyed every moment if the trip even if the roads at times were not that comfortable. We changed accommodation almost every night, the lodges were very nice (maybe only one was a bit basic) and enjoyed the food and the local beer. We were probably not expecting the cold night in Ngorongoro with the temperature dropping to 8 degrees! Overall I magnificent experience. Special thanks to African Big Cats Safaris for the excellent organization of our journey

very nice people, and very nice place for Safari.
We were traveling with Kojuu Safari, and that was better than great.
We have 17 days in Tanzania, and we would love to come back in the future.

We went on Safari with Goldfinch Adventures and had a very experience guide by the name Lozaro. We visited Tanzania specifically to experience the Great Migration and we weren't disappointed. The only disappointing thing was all the other safari vehicles around. It seemed like there were literally over 100 and some were driving very erratically.
We saw all the wildlife we wanted to see and more! We visited a Masai village which was interesting, but I'm not sure if I would recommend it. I loved Ngorongoro Crater, again there were a lot of vehicles there. We saw lions and a lioness close up, like literally less than 1 metre away. We saw a hyena running by with a bone in its mouth. I found it simply amazing.
We visited Tarangire National Park which was a smaller park, again with so many vehicles. We stayed at Heart & Soul Lodge Manyara which was fabulous and I would highly recommend.
We had lovely hampers for our picnic lunch each

day accompanied by a lovely glass of wine. I'm vegetarian, but I was adequately catered for.
My recommendation is if you can find less travelled parks would be a major plus, but I seriously can't complain about our experience with Lozaro and Brenda with Goldfinch Adventures and it didn't break the budget.

Tanzania has several national parks for safari and these parks have different sceneries. Thus you can observe the animals in different sceneries like near the lake, on the rocks or in the bushes. People are very friendly and hospitable and they make you feel safe all the time. Overall, my safari in Tanzania was amazing experience.

Wow!!! Whatever you're hoping for, whatever you're expecting, prepare to have your mind blown! I never imagined I would get to do this and I purposely kept my expectations low. I'm a big cat lover and I hope I'd see one or two and I probably saw 100. There's so much beyond that though. The scenery is unlike anything I've ever seen. The wild animals just living in the wild and being allowed into that is just awe inspiring. I saw everything I hoped to see and I saw things I couldn't believe.
We chose Lion King Adventures. The price was right, they went to all the parks we read about and they had great reviews. I had no idea we would be with our own guide and we hit the jackpot there. Mkwanda was so fun and he knew everything about everything I asked. We learned so much about the animals. He took us to all the good spots and having 13+ years of experience, he knows his stuff. We really bonded with him and he seemed to really enjoy how

much joy we got from the experiences. He also got us in perfect position for some great photo opps.
We stayed for 6 nights and all of our accommodations were above and beyond our expectations. The lodges were beautiful, but I really loved the rented camps inside the parks. The rooms were just as nice as the lodges, but you were right in the middle of things. It was July, the weather was perfect. I brought a light fleece jacket and wore tank tops underneath and I was comfortable the whole time.
The culture is wildly different and so interesting to learn about. The hospitality is on a level that you won't believe.
If you're on the fence, GO!!!! I haven't been anywhere other than Tanzania and the only reason I'd go anywhere else is to see the great apes someday. It was safe, I never felt anything less than totally secure. The only thing I would do differently is bring more comfortable shoes, shoes that I already love and I would choose a package that was all tented camps.
This was an incredible, phenomenal, surreal experience and I'd go back in a heartbeat!!

Tanzania is a wonderful destination. Our first visit to Africa, to find the warmest peolpe, fantastic food, unbelievable nature, and Luxury with the touch hotels.
Tanzania is a one in your life trip. We took the 6 day safari in 4 parks, sounds like a lot, but each park and each day came with the unknown from the nature. Always guided by Enok our guide who made this an unforgetable experience.

Tanzania has been a great surprise, wonderful scenes, wildlife, warm and welcoming people and good structure for tourists accommodation. Serengeti is definitely the best park to see wildlife in their true habitat, such a huge open space with so many possibilities of sightseeing, Ngorongoro crater is also very unique, we were happy to see a rhino and such a beautiful landscape. Tarangine was a bit smaller, but we were able to see a lot of wildlife too. After the Safari, we went to Zanzibar for some relaxing time and the beaches are paradisiac and beautiful, I will totally recommend to do both this experiences. We love Tanzania and we recommended and we plan to go back when we have kids.

Tanzania really is the perfect place for a holiday. You can combine superb safari time with a trip to Zanzibar to enjoy snorkelling in the Indian Ocean.
Every hotel we stayed in was out of this world - and we weren't staying in the best ones. Highlights were the amazing tented camp in the Serengeti, the Marera Valley Lodge and the suberb hotels on Zanzibar - Tembo Hotel in Stone Town and the Mahali Zanzibar by the beach in Paje.
We felt happy and well looked after on every day. Our guide, Karim, from Ozon Light tours drove us round for the whole of a 5-day safari. He was amazing - knowledgable, great fun and incredibly hard working. Each area had its own unique characters and beauty, but all had loads of wildlife. We saw lions in trees and beautfiful elephants at Manyara, loads of cheetah, lion and the incredible wildebeest migration in the Serengeti, stunning views at Ngorongoro with flamingoes and a hyena kill as highlights and then more lovely elephants

and baobab trees in Tarangire. The birds everywhere were also superb - particularly the Superb Starlings ;)
And don't feel worried about booking your trip with a local Tanzanian tour operator. Everything was arranged perfectly and we had great communication with the tour company while planning the trip, after we'd booked, while were there, etc. We were able to make the trip bespoke to our dates and wants, transport was there exactly when they said it would be, the hotels they recommended were all amazing and good value and it worked out a lot cheaper than if we'd booked with a UK company that just add on their own margin. Tanzania is geared around giving tourists a great holiday and it is succeeding with this in every way.

All the things you've seen in documentaries when you're a child, is possible in Tanzania. It's absolulety great have the opportunity of watching a cheetah teaching her puppy how to hunt a gazelle, or lions for everywhere. But it's not only the incredible animals;: it's the global esence of the landscape, of the authenticity of natural wildlife. To sum up: unbelievable and extraordinary.
