Tanzania is the best place to see large numbers of large, African animals
Our safari was great! We were met at each airport as expected and all the logistics were done correctly. The accommodations and food were excellent. The weather couldn't have been better. I highly recommend Bushbuck Safaris. Our driver/guide, Usiah Mlyuka, was fantastic. He has a great eye and spotted a lot of game. We saw all of the big 5, lots of lions, elephants, and buffalo, 4 leopards, a rhino and a cheetah. In addition, lots of hippos, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, gazelles, warthogs, hyenas, and jackals. What was really interesting was watching animals interact in their natural environments. We got to see a pair of crowned cranes and a pair of ostriches go through their mating dances, and we watched a bull buffalo drive off a pair of female lions that were threatening his herd. The herds of wildebeests in the Ngorongoro crater were amazing. Stops at the visitor center at Olduvai Gorge and a Masai village were very interesting.
The one thing that I would change in our itinerary was the first night in Arusha. We arrived early enough that we could have driven straight to Lake Manyara and had an extra day of game viewing or could have shortened the trip by one day.
