If you want to see wildlife in their natural environment and doing what they do (and yes that means hunting) then Tanzania is a superb trip. In addition to the wildlife the landscape photography is stunning along with encounters with the local Massai tribe. All the camps were professionally operated and there was never a fear for security or safety. This is frankly a trip of a lifetime and we are already planning a return trip to Africa.
In my experience there three of the most beautiful places for wilflife: NogoroNgoro Crater, Ndutu Area and Serengeti National Park.
Big five, small cat (serval cat and caracal), lots of herbivorous, birds... and the scenary is amazing too.

The people of Tanzania are some of the most friendliest people I have ever met. The landscape and wildlife can not be compared to anywhere else on earth. Truly an amazing country.

We did our homework and had a good idea where the migration would be, although you never have any guarantees.
We were lucky and witnessed one of the planets greatest migrations, it's truly spectacular.
In your Safari vehicle you're able to get so close to the animals, if you take the time with them you learn their individual personalities.
We both had our expectations and wish lists and what's great was that Tanzania delivered on all these, but then there are the added bonuses, the Animals we never expected or knew about, and the jaw dropping scenery which has to be witnessed with your own eyes.
Our trip to Tanzania was everything I had hoped f or and more. Since it was just my husband and myself in an individualized tour, we were able to stop and spend exactly the amount of time we wanted with each animal and we always had a good view. Besides the animals we learned about several of the different tribes. It was our morning with the Wahadzabi bushmen that really blew us away! We went on a hunt with them and watched them get stoned, dig up roots, cook and eat the roots, get stoned again and also shoot arrows. Besides knives, this group has no material things. They were a very happy group and their mood was contagious and the life was fascinating!
In all three tribes the young children had draining eyes, flies all over their faces, and lots of mucous from their nose. That was really difficult to see as an RN and a mother.

Tanzania has a lot to offer. The people, the animals, the culture are all something that you are unlikely to experience anywhere else in the world (well, the animals you'll see elsewhere). In Moshi, I never felt unsafe walking around during the day. The people were quite friendly and always smiling and happy to talk. I will say, that riding or driving in Tanzania is not something for the faint of heart. There were times I really thought my life was coming to an end! So there is that negative point. I've also heard from people that traveling in Dar es Salaam you need to be extremely vigilant. There are numerous stories of robberies, but not having been to Dar, I can't fully comment.
I would love to go back to Tanzania to explore further. I would love to go to Gombe, Ruaha and Katavi National Parks.
Tanzania has so much to offer as a safari destination and visitors have the opportunity to see so much wildlife and bird life. The landscape is more beautiful than I had imagined, with the lovely shaped acacia trees to the more exotic looking baobab and euphorbia trees. Sunrises and sunsets are incredible. We were also very fortunate to be able to see the wildebeest crossing the Mara River.

Tanzania has much wildlife in parks which are not so crowded visited. For that you need a good gide to bing you near the animals. We had an excellent guide. The known parks are to expensive and there are to many tourist being there. In Mikumi it is cheaper and there are a few tourists and you can see all the game (except the rinoceros.
