Unforgettable Wildlife Safari in Tanzania
5/5

I could never have imagined how beautiful and exhilarating a safari could be as what we had in Tanzania with Wilderness Legends. The trip was a perfect blend of wildlife viewing and of experiencing multiple cultures. We saw so many beautiful animals and we saw so many up close. Our drivers were amazing in that they knew which animals would be here and at what time of the day. And they were very generous in pulling over the land cruisers and letting us just inhale and enjoy the beauty of the wildlife in their kingdom. I also enjoyed the different cultures we got to experience. One of the best adventures was going on a morning hunt with the Hadzabe, the last true nomadic Tanzanians. T
Thank you Wilderness Legends for the safari of a lifetime!

Beyond Expectations!!
5/5

I would highly recommend Wilderness Legends. Donatus and his staff were organized, educational, helpful, friendly and fun. They expanded our understanding of Tanzania, including the culture, the people and the animals. They were attentive to the needs of the group. Each day was fantastic, filled with amazing sites and enriching experiences. Each day I just could not believe what an amazing trip we were having.
Our accommodations ranged from comfortable tent camps to beautiful lodges. I really enjoyed the tent camp in the Serengeti. We ate healthy and very delicious food every day.
After this trip....Africa, Tanzania, the people, the animals and our guides and drivers are forever in my heart. It was the trip of a lifetime for me!!

Trip of a life time
5/5

Firstly, we have been to Africa previously and all over the world in 35 years of travel, so we are not wide-eyed, easily impressed people. Our guides, Donatus and Elia, we're beyond knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and fun. they went out of their way beyond belief to make our trip pleasurable and convenient. As for the schedule, it was perfect, mixing degree of fanciness of lodging. Food was great! And the animals of the country, I have trouble explaining how bre as the taking. Been all over the world and this trip ranks inbthe Top Ten, probably Top Five, of any trip

Wonderful experience!
5/5

This was a three-years, COVID-delayed experience, well worth the wait! The itinerary was great, the guides, Elia and Baraza, were excellent (and excellent drivers), the wildlife was abundant and varied - we managed all the "big 7" including the elusive rhino and cheetah. Our group voiced interest in the birds as well as the mammals, so we often made stops for birds spotted by the eagle-eyed guides. The accommodations were very good to great (especially enjoyed Manyara's Secret on Lake Manyara, and the two different tent camps), the food was adequate to good (we didn't go to Tanzania for the food after all), in general the service was very good. I'd not quite expected the long game drive days in the safari vehicles, bumping along on the sometimes quite rough dirt "roads," but stopping for nice long looks at all the wildlife made the slight discomfort all worthwhile.

Our tour operator was the best!
5/5

If you are looking for an experience of a lifetime do an African safari with Wilderness Legends! It was something my wife and I had been talking about for a couple of years. A referral from a friend got the trip in motion. Oh, what a referral that was. One always thinks of the animals one will see on safari. You won’t be disappointed from that perspective. We saw all of the big 7, most of them multiple times, and most of them from an up close and personal perspective. What I wasn’t prepared for was all the cultural excursions we experienced. We learned of the many tribes (over 120) currently living together in Tanzania and went to visit 3 unique tribes, the Maasai, the Hadzabe, and the Datoga. We also visited a community, the Mto Wa Mbu Village where many of the 120 plus tribes live and work together. Combine the safari / wildlife portion of the trip with the cultural aspects and the experience was electric. None of this could have happened without our expert guides, Baraza and Elia. They made it all happen. From their vast knowledge of the wildlife to their heartfelt desire that everyone have an experience of a lifetime. I truly could not imagine having better guides in all of Tanzania. I feel like I am rambling a bit but I have to mention the lodging. Every place we stayed, even the tent camps, were clean and very comfortable. The service was incredible. It was obvious that everything about the lodging was done with a plan and from a vast background of experience. Wilderness Legends is the way to go. What a value!
