Tanzania is an exceptional safari destination, offering iconic parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Its rich wildlife, stunning landscapes, and cultural experiences create unforgettable adventures. Ideal for both first-time and seasoned travelers seeking authentic African wilderness and thrilling game viewing.

we did the 3 Day Nyerere NP (Selous) Road Safari from Dar-Es-SalaamThe safari was in one word amazing. The pick up service, the guide Hendrik, the accommodation, food, and of course the game drive in the park. So special to experience this, and everything was arranged to perfection. really a trip to never forget.

So many great places!

I loved my time in Tanzania!

I started at Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro crater, which had a really good balance between catering to tourists (plenty of places to see the animals from, established camp sites) and still being genuine wildlife reserves (no paved roads, animals walking free). I got to see quite a few lions, hippopotami, and giraffes, as well as more zebras and gazelles than you could count.

Next stop was Dar-es-Salaam, and then I took the ferry to Zanzibar. The whole island is beautiful, and Stone Town is like a time warp.

The people I met were all really friendly, which made it so much better, and I was really sad when I had to leave to get back to the real world.

Our first time on safari but not our first time in Tanzania … we keep coming back because the people are so fantastic but this time with a four day safari it was epic … we started in Dodoma did Tarangiri, then Ngorongoro finishing with the Serengeti before being dropped off in Musoma … our guide Moses was amazing, the eyes of a hawk so we saw just about everything we could have hoped for from lions and their cubs, to cheetahs a few metres away to hyaena on a lion kill and the most fantastic birds and views you could wish for … thanks safari bookings for providing the links to find our safari company

One big wonderful 3 day safari adventure
Overall rating
5/5

After a special experience of flying in a small plane from Arusha to Seronera, we were warmly welcomed by our fantastic driver (Gama) and friendly guide (Gift) from "Cari local African safaris". The first day we visited the serengeti national park where we spotted 4 animals of the Big Five within a few hours. We also spotted elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, buffaloes, hyenas and much more. All those animals in such a beautiful environment. what a beauty, what an unspoiled pure nature. Really incredible.

After a great welcome from the staff, a bush dinner, and a good night's sleep in Safari port Serengeti Camp we left for
Ngorongoro Crater. A place where we experienced otherworldly beauty with extraordinary
wildlife and where we also spotted the last animal of the big five (the rhinoceros). At the end of the afternoon there was time for a dip in the pool of Siafu Serenity Lodge where we spent the night in a fantastic room after a delicious dinner.

The last day we left early in the morning for Tarangire National Park. The park with the baobab trees and known as the elephants paradise.
And a paradise it is indeed. Not only for the elephants. There is also a huge population of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos,
buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys, and zebras. What a fantastic end to our safari trip!

Fell in love with Tanzania
Overall rating
5/5

Tanzania has the most diverse and beautiful nature. The nature sometimes seems out of this world for an european. I cannot recommend enough going to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, they are a must see. There wasn't so many tourists because of the low season in April. I would skip the extra Masaai tibe visit on a Safari tour. It was only an hour long, you don't really get to know the culture and they pressure you to buy things from the village. *Another con was the Ramadan. Without an arranged tour it was sometimes hard to find food, especially if you were in a more remote/non-touristic location. Also if you want to party there's nothing special during Ramadan. April wasn't too bad with the rain even tho it is the starting month of the rainy season. Over all people of Tanzania are funny, easy-going and kind, the nature and music are amazing and food is good.

Great beauty
Overall rating
4/5

The biggest take-away for us from our trip to Tanzania is that the country is huge, and so are the parks. There is a lot of driving to get to your destinations, and once inside the parks, the roads are difficult, long, dusty, and bumpy. If the roads are properly and regularly graded, the experience would have been a 5/5 stars!
Other than that, the people are very friendly, kind, and happy. The food is amazing!
Our Tanzania experience is truly unforgettable!!

I had a blast in Tanzania. The main reason for the trip was for a safari. We did ours in Mukumi national park. We saw everything but the big cats. I have no regrets about my choice, but next time I'll do the Serengeti in North Tanzania. We also enjoyed the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar.

We have just returned from a fantastic safari in Tanzania (Nyerere tented camp). The overall experience was amazing. From the minute we landed in the bush we we very well taken care of with excellent food, accommodation, transport and tours. I did not expect to be able to get so close to the animals. The safari itself was exceptional. The people of Tanzania are very friendly and are always willing to help. I would not hesitate to go back again and would encourage anyone else thinking about it to try it.
