An amazing and exciting safaritrip!
Coming from the Netherlands we drove from Iringa to Ruaha National Park to stay there at the Ruaha River Lodge next to the river Ruaha. The accomodation was stunning. Sitting on the veranda the wildlife was passing on the riverside in front of our eyes. Elephants, girafs, impala's, lions, baboons, all kinds of birds, crocodile and the amazing hippo-pool in front of our logde. The lodge itself was comfortable and clean.
The food in the restaurant was very good as well as the wine.
We had our own transportation, so we hired a guide, who did his job very well, and saw a lot of animals.
Highlights were 2 occasions with elephants: First we saw on the riverside more then 45 elephants, a kind of gathering, while we were enjoying the vieuw relaxing on the veranda of the lodge. Second was a scary one: an elephant mother (matriarch) was protecting her herd and she came to attack us. But the guide helped by putting off the motor and explaining what we had to do. It was really an adventure! One we will never forget.
The scenery is magnificent, especially the vieuw at the river looking to the mountains on sunset and sunrise.
The weather was in june not too hot and comfortable.

Review about Arusha National Park by marioni
The diversity in Arusha National park is amazing. Especially the rainforest part. I felt like Alice in wonderland. Thousands and thousands of butterflies, beautiful trees and lightfall through the trees, then the scenery changes in mountains and lakes full of flamingo's. Wildlife is everywhere. Go there!

Wildlife Photographer's Paradise
My trip to Kenya and Tanzania was the trip of a lifetime. I used AfriChoice and they were spectacular photo safari guides. The accommodations were 5 star, the food was amazing, the Land Cruisers were in mint condition and we were treated to the best wildlife viewing I have ever experience. I want to go back very soon!

Review about South Africa by lupegarrou (Mick Bassett)
The Personal Touch, friendliness of the Guide and general atmosphere, this was part of a rather 'touristy' package deal, so just the safari at Umfolozi on the one day but if I was able, I would definitely return with this game reserve as my choice for a longer visit.

Our visits to Tanzania were among the most memorable experiences of my life
All aspects of our visit to Ruaha National Park were excellent. Our daughter worked for several years for the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal in Arusha, Tanzania, and while she was there my wife and I visited her twice, once in 2003 and once in 2005. Our arrangements for tours and guides were a bit unique, in that our daughter used her local contacts to arrange for tours and guides, and all of those arrangements turned out to be absolutely excellent. During our visits to Tanzania we visited the Ngorongoro crater, the Serengeti plains, The Oldavi gorge, northern Ethiopia, and my daughter and I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. All of our experiences were thrilling, and I would not hesitate to recommend a visit to that part if the world to anyone.
