Tanzania:a land that left us an indelible mark in our memory. And for all this we must thank "A.T.A"
Dedicated to all of you that breathe AFRICA. Tanzania: discovering a timeless wild land.
- Here you can find the big lakes of Africa, the highest mountain of che Black continent (Kilimangiaro), the Great Rift Valley and an expanse of Indian Ocean.
- All of nature, its ecosystems and its rich fauna are definitely represented all over the 14 national parks and nature reserves: 25% of the territory is a protected region.
- Ngorongoro Conservation Area formed 2,5 million years ago. it is the largest caldera in the world and one the African marvels of nature.
- Serengeti National Park: listed by UNESCO among the sites of the World Heritage and declared as Biosphere International Reserve, this park is chosen as migration land by an amazing quantity of animals that every year move through this territory. We're talking of millions of herbivores, mainly zebras and gnus.
It this first safari, that won't absolutely disappoint you. You have chosen the right destination, it will take your breath away.
It has been a sa-fà-ri (in Swahili language) that means "journey", it was unforgettable: starting from Lake Manyara, directed to Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Easy, Tarangire, Marangu to see the Chagga people, where you can find the "door" to get to Kilimangiaro summit and finally, after 15 days of traval, Arusha.
We went to Tanzania in August, it is not exactly the right period to benefit of the migrations, but we saw anyway an amazing quantity of animals. Thousands of zebras and gnus as far as the eye can see, an enormous quantity that could cover all the territory of Serengeti and Ngorongoro next to their predator "friends".
Keep in mind that Tanzania is one of the most expensive area in Africa, there are wonderful lodges but we decided to live our experience in close contact with nature. If you don't have spirit of adaptability, don't do camping (tent and sleeping bad) as we did. Entry fees to the parks are very expensive, but in consideration of the beauty of this country you'll forget this thing soon!! Moreover, to avoid sinking in the sand, a 4x4 car is needed, otherwise it could be very difficult to move from one park to another.
- A journey is more than a vacation: it brings you intense, deep, unique emotions.
- A journey enriches you, gives you new perspectives and opens new horizons.
- A journey is the best investment, cause it makes your dreams come true.
- A journey stays forever, within you

Amazing
Absolutely amazing, better than expected. Saw the big 5 more than once. Ample animal species to view. And many close up encounters with lions and cheaters. Elephants galore and even the scarce leapords.
Nakuru, Masai Mara, Hell’s Gate and Amboseli made for a Safari that did not disappoint. Thanks Kenya for sharing.

More animals than expected!
We did a four day safari, taking in Tarangire, the crater and Lake Manyara. Tarangire was fantastic with lots of wildlife to see. If you only have a day this would be a great place to visit.
There are plenty of taxis available for getting around easily and safely.

Great but way too many hours in the safari vehicle driving between the different parks.
Great wildlife and our accomodation, Losokwan, was above our expectations. Simple but we had everything we needed and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We very really in the middle of everything! Elephants and buffalos right outside our tent during the nights. 5 hours drive to Lake Nakuru from Masai Mara was ok and the lodge; Flamingo Hill was very nice and with a pool. Great staff. Wildlife ok but we preferred the open landscape in Masai Mara. 9,5 hrs drive from there to Amboseli; not ok. Exhausting drive through Nairobi and the camp; Zebra Plains Amboseli camp was not at all as expected. Dirty, dusty, hardly no furnitures and showed no resemblance with the pictures on their webpage. However, very nice staff. Wildebeest safari had a very nice driver but he was not really interested in what we wanted to experience. It felt like he rushed through the parks. All in all; a 5 out of 10 for the whole safari-experience. Sadly...

I had an amazing experience about Rwanda
About wildlife in Rwanda is good as in National Parks there are animals that can't be found any where in world, like Mountain Gorillas in Virunga Park, Lions, Rhinos and other wild animals in Akagera National park. In Nyungwe national park there are amazing birds and chimpanzees, etc. When you are travelling in Rwanda, its climate is so great because of hills in every party of country. In sector of tourism in Rwanda, it has been favorised in every kind like transport where many companies have been created, and in every area of visiting you can find good restaurant with international food content. My guide is Akagera national park and live hood of Rwandan people.

Great safari country
Fantastic. But more restrictions should be applied for the benefit of the animals.

Great experience and a wonderful 9 Days Kenya Safari !
I and my 2 friends had booked a 9 Days Kenya trip with Tropical Vacations starting with a night in Nairobi on arrival, then to
Masai Mara game reserve, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasaha , Amboseli National Park and finally drop off a at
Watamu.The tour was well organized. Our flight landed at 8 p.m. and Mathew and the driver met us with a car as agreed for a transfer to our hotel in Nairobi.
The car was a mini-van. It is quite decent, the seats are comfortable and there were no major breaks. Wilson could use the maximum the car can provide! :))
and we must say everything was excellent from planning to execution....first of all, our emails were responded to in time,
with all the answers we sought and at some point we had to change our initial itinerary..but it still worked out perfectly.
The Guide Wilson was a nice professional who was keen to show us around and drove carefully...he was also punctual on time
...the accommodation options we chose were booked and were perfect, staying in lodges, (Amboseli Sopa Lodge was nice, but a little far from the park!)
We were lucky to see most of the wildlife, with at least 4 of the Big 5 and to sum it up, Mount Kilimanjaro!
We were generally happy with the services and would for sure use this company again...also recommend to our friends....

Kenya: must-see country for wildlife lovers
The wildlife in Kenya is second to none. Especially recommended the parks of Samburu and of course Masai Mara.
Just a small disappointment: very few flamingos in Lake Nakuru. The sunsets are beautiful, as in many places in Africa.
Maximum punctuation for our guide Eric, Beacon Safaris, not only for his ability to take us to the best points to see wildlife, but also for his experience, ability to solve problems and his respect and consideration for animal life.
