Nature at its best
My Safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks was an unforgettable experience. To see all the big 5 in their Natural environment plus all the other beautiful animals I had the opportunity to see was absolutely amazing.

A good mixture between modern and tradition. Depends of course where you are
We travelled as a couple and made a mixture between tour operator for Serengeti tour and self organized. We had a rented car for 11 days, this was perfect, sometimes challenging, but we enjoyed the freedom. Trafic was not as bad as expected and also police controls were easy.
I was a little worried about to much traffic Jam in Serengeti and Ngorogoro during high season. All over all it was full but not that bad. At the entrence everyone is together but after a while all cars go different directions and you can also enjoy the fantastic landscape alone.
But I heared that in July 2026 there were less tourists than expected.
All accomodations we had during our stay were fantastic. I don´t need it fancy but I must say all places had great atmosphere and great food.
I must say, the people in Tanzania are very very friendly!!!
But we also left the normal touristy paths and there is always a difference how people react to you as an obvious tourist

Incredible
The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, the facilities were exactly what we were looking for, and we managed to see all the animals we had hoped for. It truly felt like being in a dream.
The only aspect that could be improved would be having a guide who also speaks Italian. That said, our DEO was absolutely fantastic!

A unique and fascinating, cultural, and wildlife experience
We went during the dry season and saw abundant wildlife. You do need to prepare for very rough and dusty roads. We had perfect weather with temperatures that were mild and no rain. We encountered very few insects.

Great safari and wildlife but…
At the same time, poverty is very visible, and understandably there is a strong reliance on tourism for income. Unfortunately, the tipping culture became one of the biggest negatives of our trip.
Tipping was brought up incessantly throughout the trip, sometimes multiple times a day, and it often felt as though every smile, interaction or small gesture came with an expectation of a tip. It gets tiring very quickly and takes away from otherwise genuine interactions.
We tipped very well throughout our trip and have no issue rewarding great service. What we disliked was the constant expectation and pressure surrounding it. We are not American and do not come from a culture where customers are expected to effectively supplement everyone’s wages through tips.
Tanzania was spectacular,

particularly the wildlife and safari, but the tipping culture was exhausting enough that it would make us think twice about returning. Businesses should pay their staff properly and allow tipping to be what it is supposed to be: an optional reward for excellent service, not an expected part of someone’s wage.

The towns are scruffy, the traffic is chaotic but the scenery & wildlife more than make up for it
The scenery in Tanzania is magnificent, despite the littering from locals. Wildlife abounds and you'll certainly

see most of what you expect to see. You may see all the "big five" with the exception of rhino. Leopards are less likely to be seen but I was lucky enough to see two. This applies to the National Parks. Outside of these, wildlife is more scarce. Costs vary but you are better off booking safaris with companies from Tanzania on the internet, rather than using companies in your home country who will use the same safari providers but after applying their mark-up.Costs in Tanzania are relatively low but the more westernised the company you use, the more expensive it will be. In larger towns, you'll regularly be approached by locals who adopt the same approach - Hello, where you from? They may then try to sell you something which becomes trying after you've already rejected this approach by ten other people, but it's just a matter of grinning and bearing it.

Very beautiful
No doubt Tanzania is a beautiful country. We visited 8 national parks. Tanzania has most animal, bird viewing compared to other countries in Africa. Go to any national park here we can see all animals easily. Ngorogoro crater is absolutely a blissful place. Serengeti had all the animals including big 5 easily seen. But accommodations around parks like mikumi , Ruaha are terrible. The roads are absolutely a nightmare. The road from Ruaha to Mikumi parks took 10 hours long drive. These conditions of the roads discourage tourists. The tour operators are not customer friendly. While the country has abundant animal life in the parks, tourists have very limited decent accommodation around small national parks. Also tourists are not treated the way they are treated in Kenya. Animal viewing is much much better than South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Rwanda. Given opportunity, will definitely choose Ngorogoro and Serengeti over any place in the whole continent.
