My family and I had an amazing safari trip in Tanzania for 20 days, starting in Arusha and ending in Moshi with a magnificent view of Mt Kilimanjaro to finish the holiday off.
We did 6 national parks and 18 game drives with our expert driver, Stewart from Kilislopes Safari & Tours. We saw leopard, cheetah, servile, lots of lions and all of the rest of the wonderful animals and many birds. The trip was everything we dreamed of. The bush camps were outstanding and the lodges beautiful. One won't be disappointed visiting Tanzania with so much to offer.

An amazing park, with some wonderful encounters with elephants in particular.

Unforgettable trip and a really great team
In case anyone is wondering why Im writing this review 20 months after our trip its because my original review on trip adviser was removed as I have Kili brothers as a facebook friend....and they must not like that!
For anyone thinking of climbing kili I can definitely recommend George and his company. Like many we did a bit of research before choosing what company to go with and we found the feedback from Kili brothers the most helpful and informative. George runs a well organised outfit and we were very impressed with every aspect of both our climb and our safari. We had Robert as our main guide and found him the be excellent and always in control of what is an operation that requires quite a lot of logistics...we were a group of 4 and we had a total of 17 men with us...thats a lot of equipment and food to get up a mountain! George jr was our assistant guide and chief entertainer. Both guides were extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions we had. I also have to mention our cook Sirli...what a fantastic job he did....we really did not expect the level of food he turning out each day.
Without going on too long here its fair to say that our group was 100% satisified with Kili brothers and credit them for making the trip one to remember for a long long time.

Beach holiday on Zanzibar and safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro - fantastic scenery and kind people
Within out trip to Zanzibar and Dar-es-Salaam, we had a four-day safari trip with the SafariSoles company. After being picked up at our Zanzibar beach hotel and brought to the airport, we went by airplane into Serengeti where we were met by out guide Simon. He was a safe driver and a terrific guide with eyes for the wildlife, so we enjoyed four days of safari with lots of nice views, photos and videos of the wildlife in Serengeti and in the Ngorongoro crater. We really saw "all" the scenery on the savannah, elephants, african buffalo, lions, leopards and a single rhino, but also immense groups of migrating wildebeast, giraffes, antilopes, gazelles, hyenas and hippos. Our guide had gotten the nick name Safari Monster, which we thought was a good fit regarding his abilities. The people both in Zanzibar and Dar were smiling and friendly and we really had a lovely vacation in a delightful climate, given that we come from Norway, which is cold at this time of year.
All the best to the Tanzanians who really have succeeded in the conservation of habitats for their wildlife and on the same time show great hospitality for foreign visitors. Thank you, Tanzania!

So much more than a Safari
The personal and attentive service provided prior to our safari was simply extraordinary. Any email that I sent to the offices of Viewpoint were answered within a few hours....even when sent at 9pm.
The safari itinerary was simply outstanding and is, in my opinion, what sets do Viewpoint Adventures apart from other Safari companies. The itinerary was a perfect blend of wildlife/game drives & authentic cultural activities. As someone who travels frequently and has been to Africa 4 times... I can say with confidence that Viewpoint Adventures provided us with a unique and special opportunity to see a side of Africa most don't get to see.
I would highly recommend Viewpoint Adventures to the 'travelers' (vs. tourists) of the world.

Overwhelming, mindblowing, unforgettable!
Tanzania, its people, its diversity, nature and national parks exceeded all expectations! Within 7 days we visited 4 national parks, drove about 1400km through 10 different vegetation zones and saw over 35 animal species. Each national park had its own charme and stunning scenery with humid djungle areas in the Manyara National park, dry savannah in the serengeti and a crazy crater with huge waterholes in the Ngorongoro National park.
Overall we fell most in love with the serengeti. We stayed 2 nights in a tented camp in the heart of the serengeti surrounded by nature without fences or other boundaries. We were just part of it all. At night we could even hear the buffalos eating next to our tent, hyenas strolling around us and lions roaring in the far. On our game drives we witnessed some special events like mating lions, a leopard eating its pray and a lioness with her cubs being approached by a group of elephants.
We saw the 3 big cats (lion, leopard and cheetah) and the big five, although the rhino just through binoculars. We were really lucky to have a guide we had a great vibe with. He also spotted EVERY animal around and knows every corner of the national parks. Having a good guide is crucial as you are dependent on his knowledge and decisions to be at the right spot at the right time.
The weather was warm and dry all the time. We felt safe at any time. Of course there were always other cars around when something exciting was on the menu (like predator eating prey or male lions being around), but it never felt like mass tourism. We always felt the bush and safari vibes. Overall it was a trip of a lifetime. If you are interested in some images of this trip check out my instagram @el.mago_merlin

Review about Mokala National Park by Barbara Evans 7
Excellent night safaris with sightings of rare mammals.
Fantastic service
Great knowledge of local hotels, restaurants and things to do and able to get great deals. Always available to help with ideas and planning. All suggestions were fantastic. Would love to do it all again.

If you can visit just one country in Africa - it must be Tanzania!
We have just completed 2 months travelling Southern Africa. We enjoyed it all and all 10 countries we visited. But on reflection, if we had to choose just one, it would have to be Tanzania. Ngorongoro Crater would probably be the pick of the parks, but the Serengeti and Tarangirie are close behind. The animals were amazing. We saw the big 5 twice over, and whilst finding animals in the wild can be hit and miss, your chances are greatly increased in Tanzania. Add that the quality of food and accomodation was top notch - what’s not to like?!
