If you want to experience wildlife and Africa-visit here
I am a wildlife lover and have always wanted to see the wildlife in their natural habitat, and fortunate to do all that. This time to I went to Tanzania on a tour package with Arlanda Tours And Travel and It satisfies something in my soul. We saw all the wildlife that can be imagine. Elephants, rhino, lions mating, leopard, cheetah, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, hippos, ostrich, crocodiles -truely can say it was heaven on earth. The scenery and weather were excellent, the lodge that we stayed at in the Serengeti was unique, the food they prepared for us was amazing - the kitchen area was so small. Our transportation made by company was better than what we had in Namibia, and our guide (Najib) were so patient, and knowledgeable. when one of our group members was excited to know the name of one bird that we saw then our guide told him in a very clear manner and correctly spelled it out "B-A-T-E-L-E-U-R". (But he also spelled it out several times.) We had a guide and two rangers and all of them were wonderful, very kind, very accommodating, and we made new friends with them. On the last day of tour, there on our morning game drive we saw on the right hand side of the road a male lion and a lioness and it just looked to be so deadly. Then our guide looked on the other side and there were another male lion and lioness. Both of them was sitting down but the male had his head up, at that particular moment I got a good shot of his head and eyes. Then he got up and started to walk over to deep grasses. We did also saw a leopard. Normaly it is very rare to find a leopard in a open area but we had this unique pleasure. One of the lady in our group, it was her eighth time visit to this place and this was the first time she had ever seen a leopard. So we were fortunate enough. And it was never forgettable experience.

This place have an especial attachment
The fame of Serengeti National Park is well deserved and Absolutely magnificent and that is why it becomes a beautiful trip. Huge place with different sceneries and different types of natural environments. The nearby area of Seronera is especially beautiful and full of wild animals. Pity that at times it may be slightly crowded as there were too many jeeps around. The area near Lobo is somewhat less spectacular and less rich of animals. The nights that we had spended in tented camp was my best experience and it just could be done by this tour company Arlanda Tours and. If you are in Tanzania, then it must to be 2-3 days in serengeti.

A Must Place to visit in Tanzania
You are surely going to see a lot of wildlife at here in Ngorongoro with a lot of tourists. Travelling down into the crater is of great beauty. It has some Awesome scenery. The animals are almost full time to see. In Selous you can't approach a wildebeest closer than 50 or 100 m. Here it sits still on the road as you drive by.It's a Huge agglomerations of wildlife and some pieces of dusty empty plains with some animals. It's all good to get your close and take some photos with animals. Some birds to see, not too spectacular - except for lunch steeling black kites. Fantastic experience to see this place with 4x4, at any time. Everything worth looking at has a group of vehicles around it.

Extraordinarily Beautiful Ngorongoro
Africa is already a unique place in its own but when you entered to Tanzania, it become even more better. Ngorongoro is the upmost. Its far from imagination, a wildlife with inside a extinct volcano crater, maybe with 20 or 30 km diameter, with all the diversity and animals living in perfect harmony. lions, zebras, hippopotamus, elephants, baboons, wild beasts, rhinos, hyena, flamingos, etc., etc.. The weather is unique as well, altitude atmosphere. The hotel our company arranged were located in the edge of the crater and that have an awesome view to the park. Overall its all good hotels, good food and accommodations made by Arlanda Tours four our safari trip. It will now remain lifetime experience!! Ngorongoro Extraordinarily Beautiful!!

A great sight at Ngorongoro
The first look you get upon cresting the rim of the crater is the most fascinating part of Ngorongoro. You can see so long, miles in each direction, and at depth 600 metres to the floor.
Big-5 is on display all time but we did not see a leopard here, experienced our only rhinoceros sighting here. Whatever, the feel is more likely an extremely large zoo. The animals seem to keep to themselves and not interact with each other significantly.
Also there is Masai villages within the Ngorongoro conservation area and it is somhow fascinating to see the lifestyle of villagers. Ngorongoro is termed as the location of Olduvai Gorge, being an incredible archaeological site for human evolution.

Lake Manyaya is junt an Interesting place!
In East Africa, this Lake Manyara is really very interesting place, as my openion. The most famous thing about this lake is, it has almost whole year-round water due to which it seems green and lush all times. For trekking the monkeys and baboons, this is the best location. We found that the game drive here was a bit more intresting if compared to the other three locations that we had visited. This lake is full of flamingos, but when we did our game drive it found that there are no roads passing nearby, so everywhere look was a pink haze in the distance. At this place we also get opportunity to saw some numbers of elephants, lions, giraffes... but it was kind of disappointed as being spoiled by the amount of wildlife in the other parks. It is interesting to see and explore this location, because of its dissimilarities from the other parks.

Great vibes at Lake Manyara
On a tour Package with Arlanda Tours we visited Tanzania. By our experience can say Lake Manyara was quieter than the other parks we had visited. The bush vibe was more evident as a result. The terrain was much amazing, which was far less open than the other reserves and provides a better chance to anyone for coming across animals unexpectedly, as we had done with a group of elephants. It also seems to be a great hippo pool.
Wildlife viewing wasn't quite as good as elsewhere, but in part that's down to luck. We had seen a large cat or two it would probably have been my favourite of the parks.

Amazing experience
We just found that it is a magnificent park. Have some unique scenery and easy to spot the wild animals basically everywhere, while they move, drink from the lake, hunt or rest.
1-2 day in ngorongoro is enough in my opinion as the crater is not that big enough. Accommodation from Arlanda is very good but also anyone may consider staying in one of the villages with a good accommodation at more reasonable prices. A trek on the Empakai crater by walking , guided by our guide Najib, as far as lake natron is an amazing experience.

Wonderful encounter to a great lake
It was my very first safari tour in African Safari with the help of Arlanda Tours and I was really hoping to have an encounter with elephants and giraffes among others animals. As soon we entered the park and have just a few meters inside the gate, we were welcomed by a big-beautiful family of elephants. Then we tried to came in close to them, to the point that we could almost touch them (a big no no). The scenery at their was wonderful with green-green grass and trees and small streams. Just a wonderful experience being there. Our guide Najib was incredible person with us, also make us help to took some pictures at a time and some video of everything that moved.

Well organised tour to a beautifull place.
It's all having Great sceneries around the lake. Cats, giraffes and Elephants can easily be spotted, while they go to the lake for drinking at evening or inside the vegetation on the way to the lake. It also rich in hippos, flamingos and many other species of birds. Have a great Sunset moments to enjoy and lovely colours on the horizon. On the way to the park, you can have a stop at the Mtowambu village. This was very interesting guided tour around the village, with the help of local people and with provents going to local population.
