Camping in the wild
Camping in Tlopi tented camp in Marakele NP is a unique experience. As Tlopi is unfenced, the wild animals come very close. We had a big elephant next to our tent. The monkeys that visit are a bit annoying though. The tents are not luxury, but everything is there. Good beds, a shower and a closed kitchen. The wooden deck is looking out on the water, where birds are abundant and all kind of animals come to drink.
The park is not big, but the scenery is stunning. When we visited there was not much game to be seen. Next to the elephants we saw rhino, giraf, ostrich, wildebeest and impala.

Tanzania is an amazing experience for anyone who loves nature.
Dar es Salaam was our first destination in Tanzania. The cultural experience was wonderful. Seeing the Indian Ocean was a bonus. The Ngorogoro Crater is a spectacle to see alone. The first glimpse over the edge is one of many sights that I will never forget. The wildlife: I do not know how you can describe the sights and sounds of Africa. The Crater offered outstanding opportunities for photography.
The Serengeti:The openness and amount of life was more than I could have imagined. Our hot air balloon ride overwhelmed me. I was humbled and blessed to experience.

Review about South Africa by Tom en Gonnie
Just explore different parks and you will see different things. Animals, landscapes and sometimes that real wild feeling.

Review about Tarangire National Park by JerseyMolly
There are huge baobab trees at Tarangire! We got really close to some marabu storks. Saw a lioness hunt, but she was too far away.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by JerseyMolly
We visited several safari parks on this trip, but at Lake Manyara the animals were amazingly close, like nothing I've ever seen before. There were lots of pelicans and storks on the lake, what a great sight!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by JerseyMolly
While we didn't get very close to the animals at the crater, the scenery alone was worth the trip. It was magnificent!

Unspoiled beauty
It was an amazing trip, I only wish that it was longer, I would've liked to spend more time at the Ngorongoro crater. It was definitely the highlight of this trip, a unique ecosystem that's been preserved in it's present state for many years. We were fortunate to see a pack of hyenas hunt wildebeest, that's not something I'd ever expected to see. At Lake Manyara we were able to observe several families of elephants, they walked right alongside our jeep, so close that we could see their eyelashes. Lake Manyara is also a birder's paradise and a home of great many baboons. One word of caution - it was very dusty, bring a mask or a bandanna to tie around your face, and drink lots of water.

quite nice
Generally, a very nice experience. But I would strongly suggest that one needs to go there with a local guide, otherwise you can easily miss things.
A walk to the waterfall is a must - but please make sure that you have a hat, plenty of water and are actually able to climb back onto the hill. Most importantly, always follow what the ranger says - and do not go there without him.

Review about Serengeti National Park by docnico
Serengeti is so vast, and yet you can find remote places where you'll find yourself face to face not with tourists coaches, but wildbeest migration instead. You can't be disappointed with Serengeti and a good guide.

Review about Ruaha National Park by Anna de'Capitani
Ruaha National park is one of the best destination in Tanzania for game viewing during the dry season. Rivers water concentrate wildlife and you can see a lot of animals around. Landscapes are beautiful and variuos, there are just a few camps so not so many peoples around....
