They made our honeymoon unforgettable
The trip has definitely exceeded our expectations.
It was by far the best holiday for us in terms of experience. The safari was impressive and intense.
Thanks to our excellent guide David Mbunda we were able to tick off the Big 5 and according to him we were very lucky with what we were able to spot.
We did have 2x car trouble (flat tire and broken bolt at the wheel suspension) but that gave some extra dimension to our adventure.
The accommodations in the Lodges were fine, the staff extremely friendly.
Our "honeymoon suite" in Zanzibar was also great and in good order.
The only downside that we can report is that paying with VISA or Mastercard usually did not work there.
It was not our cards, bank or account status, but their devices and/or internet connection.
We will certainly not soon forget this trip and even recommend it to our circle of friends.
Thanks Paradise & Wilderness for organizing our beautiful honeymoon.

This is a most helpful, supportive, knowledgeable and professional tour operator you can imagine.
We have booked an individually planned safari trip through northern Tanzania with a beach add-on on Zanzibar. This has been a lifetime experience and we cannot stop thinking of our wonderful experiences during this privately guided tour. A major advantage is that Paradise and Wilderness (P&W) owns the hotels, lodges and camps it offers, a modern fleet of specialized safari cars, and employs their own selected guides, which all allows for the highest standards during the whole trip. Wildlife observation and game drives were the major components of the vacation in our case. We started in Arusha from a conveniently located cosy place in a quiet part of central Arusha (hotel Africa Safari Arusha). Africa Safari Lake Manyara is a lovely tented camp at the shores of the lake and allows easy exploration of the National Parks in the surroundings (Tarangire, Manyara). Continuing via Ngorongoro crater, we crossed the Serengeti and found another nice camp on its western central edge just outside the parks gate (but in the ecosystem) called Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma. Here, we experienced sleeping in the bush but in very nice high quality tents. The camp had so nice staff and very delicious food and full day service, we just loved it. This is also true for the brand-new Africa Safari Massai Boma, the newest addition to P&Ws portfolio of accommodations. Here, you sleep in a traditional round hut with all the amenities you can imagine, you also get pampered and served unbelievably good food. It also offers very authentic guided trips by the local Massai people who are really keen on teaching you what nature has to offer. The Massai tribe is also prominent in another stunning place, Lake Natron. This is such a fascinating place, a magic landscape and scenery, nice options of hiking trips, bird watching etc. – all of this very easy to do from another perfect accommodation – Africa Safari Lake Natron. This is a perfectly run new glamping camp with the most beautiful view of the lake and the mountains and the holy volcano of the Massai people. It cannot be recommended highly enough. Back in Arusha, we did game drives in the Arusha Park and walked around Lake Duluti. Another highlight was a tour to an authentic village where we were offered a very nice insights into daily subsistence life. We learned how to grow and produce coffee, sugar and all sorts of other agricultural products. If you want something real and not the usual tourist stuff, book a tour with Moivaro Cultural Tourism through P&W.
The whole safari trip was so enjoyable because of the guidance and company of the knowledgeable and most motivated guide David. He made sure we could do the maximum of wildlife observations but also helped us diving deeper into the countries rhythm and realities. We learned so much in the 2 weeks.
P&W has several hotels on Zanzibar, we stayed in a recommendable mid-range option Reef & Beach resort in Jambiani in a relaxed corner on the SE of the island.
All in all we can sum up and confidently say, if you do a safari in Tanzania, do it with P&W!

Amazing Safari!
This was our first safari experience so we were a little bit worried about what to expect. During the bookings process, the communication was very good and Emma helped us with all our questions. Upon arrival our driver Frank made us feel at home right away. Our 5-day safari was above your expectations. We saw so much wildlife. Guide Julius really had an eye for spotting the animals. It was an amazing safari and we hope to come back!

Wonderful Safar & Zanzibar holiday
We started our adventure with a safari to the northern parks. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide Pemba really was the best. He gave us lots of information about the parks and the wildlife. He had many stories to tell about his long experience as guide. We stayed a few nights at African Glamping in the tented lodges. The view was amazing and the service really good. We stayed another 2 nights in Serengeti Central which was an experience I will never forget. Waking up with the sounds of nature and animals so close to our tent. At the end of the safari we took a flight to Zanzibar where we stayed a few nights at Reef & Beach resort. It was the perfect combination of a safari and relaxing at the beach. Asante sana Paradise!

We had a great trip, well organized and a very good driver (Alphons).
From the first day on the safari we enjoyed it immensely, we had a good driver with knowledge of all the animals we saw and there were many. The driver helped us with organising the balloon trip and he also did an extra game drive after 16:00 as some animals were close by. The tented camps were perfect and luxurious. We paid in usd. It is a trip I would recommend to anyone, next time we will go longer.

Unforgettable Journey!
I had the most incredible experience booking a safari and beach trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. From start to finish, everything was seamless and exceeded all of my expectations.
The safari in Tanzania was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife, making each game drive a truly unforgettable experience. After the excitement of the safari, we headed to the tropical paradise of Zanzibar for some well-deserved relaxation.
Paradise & Wilderness went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our journey was taken care of. The service and attention to detail made this trip truly memorable.
I cannot recommend Paradise & Wilderness enough for anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable safari and beach adventure in Tanzania and Zanzibar.
