Review about Ngorongoro Crater by peter the safari maniac
This is a busy busy Northern circuit favourite! You wont be alone unless you risk march to may when its raining and u may get stuck! Has become expensive for foreign tourist all of a sudden in park fees! Eden on earth a Must go to destination.
I stay at the Lutheran Hostel in Karatu not Arusha then its easier n cheaper! Even when you want to combine serengeti with Ngorongoro(same road) Try stayin at Lutheran Hostel it covers basics and good night sleep,unless you are highend ofcourse!
Review about Mkomazi National Park by peter the safari maniac
If you intobirds this is good one or just a nature lover and walking! Stayed at Babu's place which has great food and open showers and loo's. Place was improving but dont expect 3-4 star service.
Review about Tarangire National Park by peter the safari maniac
This is usually thrown in as a package for ngorongoro- manyara- Tarangire, quick safari that can be done in a day! I wouldnt do it alone!
Review about Mahale Mountains National Park by peter the safari maniac
Nice if you love Chimps and Jane Goodall and I do!Greystoke Mahale look for them they also do KataviFly but it will coast you like a charter!
Review about Serengeti National Park by peter the safari maniac
Excellent Safari for first timers iand when done with Ngorongoro its worth a first time safari. IF you ever have to do two safaris in Tanzania only these are them, plan five days at least to achive maximum bang! My preference is to stay in karatu (outside )then go to safari national parks. This place is Vast!Fees have increased tremendously over the last year its not funny!
Review about Lake Manyara National Park by peter the safari maniac
May be in Jan to July when it rains but this park has been drying up for last few years its sickening to go after nov when the heat is on .Deforestation catchin up or shall we say desertification. Its usually joined in with tarangire and ngorongoro to make a better package.

This is my favourite Game reserve and am into game reserves other than national parks ! Sable Mountain Lodge of A tent with a view is where i have taken guests in my former life as a safari maniac! There others like Rufiji river lodge (high end ) and smaller camps but try Sable Mountain lodge! Yes I used to work for David (disclosure) Coolest Yorkshire Man ! :-)
Review about Katavi National Park by peter the safari maniac
One word Remote! This is Tanzaias hardest to o to national park and yet offers the best number of wildlife. I did a 6 day journey with train road and frankly should have flown out. If you can fly in and out. Loads of animals you ll be freaked!stayed at chada camp but my friends Fox family owners of ruaha river lodge now have a camp here
