Experienced
It was a great experience.
We liked the food, the people at the tented camp and lodge, the great experience, the driver and we felt safe during our stay at the tent and lodge. However we’re a little sad about the fact that they said that the cars are good and you have backup like 5 cars. We were waiting for a solution in a short while, but it took 3.5 hours in the morning. The car has electricity problems, so so many times the car had to be pushed to start the engine. At one time there was no other car, so my husband an I had to push the car. That is no problem, but what if we were not at a safe place to push the car by ourselves, then we had to wait again for the car to start till some other safari jeep would arrive.

Review about Nyerere National Park by Harald Schulz
It were not the big five but maybe in the other national parks. We were in the wrong national park to see them.
This were the first safari and visit in Tansania .It was a great visit in this national park and we saw many another animals.
Our expectations were perhaps too high because we didn't get proper information before the tour.
The animals do what they want and not what we want.

Serengeti great, ngonrongoro even better
We did a 4 day safari with SafariSoles and our great guide Raymond. Just us in the 4x4.
All the accommodation was clean and well looked after. It's important to note that in Serengeti you shouldn't expect luxury westernised hotels. Lodges and camps are exactly that. The staff are unfailingly polite and helpful.
The food is freshly prepared but simple. Don't expect loads of options.
We stayed at Serengeti Lodge, Sero tented camp and Rhino Lodge. Great and different experiences. You will hear the wildlife very close by.
We were lucky to see the big 5. You need luck but it helps if your guide is knowledgeable as ours was. The serengeti is vast, the ngonrongoro crater is absolutely amazing.
Breathtaking scenery looking down at the crater. The scenery at Rhino Lodge was good too.
The weather was hot but we were always comfortable. No issues with mosquitoes, tsetse flies were annoying in one zone but only temporarily.
Met a few Masai when stopping for lunch.

Worthy of being the first choice for an African visit
Tanzania is one of Africa’s main centres for wildlife safaris and from our short experience it deserves to be on everyone’s list. We went in February and there was plenty of wildlife and the weather wasn’t too hot.
The parks manage the influx of tourists well and the guides make every effort to minimise their presence on the wildlife. The safaris are supported by a variety of accommodation allowing choice based on price and facilities.
The people are welcoming, friendly and have an unexpected proficiency in the English language. At no time did we have concerns for our personal safety.
Tanzania has everything for a pleasurable experience and definitely imparts the desire to return.

Recommended!
James & Jimmy are really helpful in planning and executing the safari and communication is prompt.
All the accomodations are great.
Jimmy is super skilled as a driver on really difficult roads and his animal spotting skills are excellent along with information given about animals. All safaris start on time and are wonderfully and safely executed.
My only issue was with the food options at the camp in Amboseli. And the food given on budget safaris is less too. Carry snacks if you are a big water.
