Exceeded my dreams
Our guide, Solomon, was outstanding from start to finish. He seemed to figure us out right away. He knew where all the hotspots were to find wildlife and the other guides with other companies seemed to have a lot of respect for him. He was kind, very knowledgeable and easy to be with. The wildlife was crazy in the Lake Manyara National Park so was a great start.
Weather was perfect. Although a bit wet on the rim of the Ngorogoro Crater, it did not matter because if you waited a while, the weather changed. Also, at our Ngorogoro Lemala camp, they had a well functioning heater to heat up our tent as well as hot water bottles. Food was very good at this camp. We really couldn't believe how well we were taken care of and the staff was so kind and caring. Having a fire just before dinner was a treat as well. We were not disappointed when driving around the Crater. I feel like we saw it all including a black rhino. The Maasi were so attentive. Hot water for the shower was a perfect temperature and enough to get clean for sure.Then we drove to South Serengeti where it looked empty for the first day. Solomon drove everywhere to find wildlife but the rains were late so there was not a lot of big game. It was still so fun because we saw honey badgers, mongooses, wildebeests, zebras, a family of owls, giraffes and a Serval Cat!! When all the big animals are away, we see the little stuff. The Serengeti is beautiful when barren of large beasts.
.
We had it all including a beautiful thunderstorm kind of surrounding us at the Ndutu campsite. This site looks out on a marsh and you enjoy beautiful sunsets in front of a fire. The staff was unreal. The food we ate was unreal. Hard to believe we were in the bush. Julius, Winston, Frank and Aloys were all very attentive. We were thoroughly spoiled as well because we had the camp to ourselves for two days!!
More animals arrived on day two because of the rains the night before and it was cool watching the grass grow so fast. One night I heard a giraffe walk by our tent.
Such a great trip. Would recommend it to anyone. Thanks Tanzania!

Adam was a brilliant guide, we saw so much, a leopard and cheetah,a well as the expected animals.
The wildlife was spectacular and really good views, Adam got us to the right spots.
The accommodation very comfortable, tents that make glamping look down market. We were well fed and watered, even if a kite tried to steal our lunch. A very good view of the offender.
Thanks again Adam.
Impressie wildlife in great nature!
We made two tours, ons in the northern part with Tarangire NP, lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro CA. Travelling by jeep means long distances and many hours on the road, but we loved to watch daily live, throughout roads sometimes were bad with lots of dust and of course the magnificent nature and wildlife in the parks. Facilities in the public camps are quite poor. Afterwards we drove to Selous NP, Mikumi and Udzungwa Mountains and particularly enjoyed the vast, beautiful and quiet parks with lots of wildlife and only few visitors.

A wonderful experience
We will remember forever the memories of beautiful moments we have experienced in Africa.
And that was also really good for fixing the schedule we wanted.

Interesting, varied - nothing negative to say.
We have seen all of the big five on our visit in Tanzania and many, many animals overall (although leopard was a bit shy hidden in a tree as well as Rhino's we very far and has it not been for binoculars we wouldn't have seen much - having said that we saw them chasing a hyena). We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater.
Having visited three different areas the scenery was very different and very interesting. Our guide Isaac was good. In terms of accommodation on our Safari we opted to stay in a lodge outside the parks. We stayed at the Farms of Dreams Lodge which was excellent. Personally I don't see the upside in staying inside the parks, not sure how much more can one see if staying inside the park and it feels like you can get better accommodation at lower price if staying outside.
Overall, for us Safari is probably something we would only do once but if the opportunity was there we would definitely visit again.
