Underrated National Park.
We were pleasantly surprised with Tarangire, our travel consultant told us we would see plenty of elephants and baobab trees, but Tarangire is far more than that. The wildlife viewing is exceptional, highlights were a leopard kill, a serval hunting at night and observing lions mating. Our total mammal count was higher than we saw in the Serengeti, including some rarities. Elephant numbers are high, and those found around the Silale Swamp, are covered in an attractive red/brown mud sunscreen. Lion numbers also high. Bird species observed appeared significant although we are not specialists. We had some great sightings in the Serengeti but found Tarangire equally interesting, a very different ecosystem. The two very much compliment each other. Photographic opportunites were excellent and the quality of guiding was exceptional.
We stayed at Oliver's Camp which was excellent in every respect, we have stayed in several 'top end' camps in southern Africa in recent years and this would probably be our favourite, a truly authentic safari experience. The walking safari and night drive were both well worth doing. What makes Oliver's special is the staff at all levels, their work is a vocation, not a job. The food was great and it was a fantastic start to each day to check the camera trap to see which uninvited guests had visited camp during the night. We intend to visit Tarangire again in the future and Oliver's camp in particular.

AMAZING
We visited Cape town which we found spectacular! Table Mountain was outstanding!
We also visited Mossel Bay, Port Elizabeth and Richards Bay.
People are nice and warm coming.
Scenery is beautiful and temperature was really nice at day and cold at night.
I felt save but the locals are always telling you to take extra care of your belongings.
The highlight of our visit was Kruger Park. A most do!
We traveled with Shinzelle Safaris and everything was even better than dreamed!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Nicole
We saw our first lion here and we had stunning views from our lodge. The elephants visited the camp in the evening and early morning in front of the tent. You definitely need to stay here for 2 nights (Tarangire River Lodge)

I want to go back NOOW!
Great guides, always fun to talk with. Exciting game drives with beautifull animals and a good african massage. Cheetah Safaris gave me experiences I will never forget.

The amounts of wildebeasts and zebras was striking. Many leopards and lions

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Nicole
The density of wildlife was overwhelming and seeing two rhinos was the highlight of that spot.

I recommend Daigle
I took a solo tour of Tanzania's southern circuit with Daigle Tours in July of 2014. Although I was a bit wary of using a smaller tour company, the experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I initially chose them because they were more flexible, working with me to adjust a set tour to meet my needs. I was picked up by my guide at the airport, taken to 4 lodges that ranged from good to amazing, and dropped off back at the airport. In between, the game drives were awesome, one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. There are lots of safari companies out there, but I can definitely recommend Daigle.

An unforgettable experience and beautiful country
We’ve been visiting South Africa for 8 years now and never get tired of the sightseeing, food and wine. There is so much to do and the scenery and wildlife are amazing. You can’t visit without driving up the garden route and stopping off at the many vineyards. So beautiful. We feel like we’re home as soon as we step off the plane. There’s so much to do and experience. The people are wonderful and so helpful. We plan our return as soon as we get back to the UK.

Wonderful experience
Our southern Tanzania safari was arranged by a partner tour operator of Daigle and we were assured the safari would be as promoted by them. They were right and then some. The Land Rover was clean and in good condition, the guides were friendly and informative and concerned about making sure we were having an enjoyable experience. They also had a keen eye for spotting game and then getting us close for viewing and pictures. The accommodations were as expected or better. Always with people anxious to please. For us the safari was the right combination of comfort and bush rugged. Just what we wanted. We had a most memorable time.
