Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Nicole Nigro
Roads were flooded and the flamingoes had migrated to the Ngorongoro crater and therefore, have not seen much there.

Good guy
The guys were nice but the bus wasn’t. It was too small, my legs were paining

Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by Levi Jacob Morris
The wildlife here was in lower numbers than many other parks I visited on this trip and in Tanzania. The river cruise did have some good birding opportunities. The daytime game drives didn't do as well we did see Ugandan Kob, Elephants, and Waterbucks there was a very brief lion sighting. Perhaps I was simply spoiled by having better luck on previous game drives. We spent the better part of 3 days here and I would have gladly traded one of those days in for an additional day in Kibale or Bwindi.

The trip was effected by many different things.
It was a good trip to Serengeti ang Ngorongoro. We saw slit of animals, and the crew did their best to hive us a good experience.

Very friendly but driving too fast, elaborating too much on information that's not interesting.
Lamps was very kind and friendly, but we felt like he was elaborating too much on information that most tourists on the vehicle did not find interesting. Our suggestion would be for hom as a tour operator to ask what the tourists are interested in (e.g. big game, birdwatching, etc) before starting the tour to cater for their specific interests, instead of focusing for example on history when no one is interested in it.
He spoke a lot and provided a lot of information on each animal, but didn't provide time to take in the animals in silence and have the whole experience.
He was also speeding through on the dirt roads and swerving out for animal and car tracks which made a very bumpy ride for all tourists on the vehicle.

Botswana, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the zambezi were all an amazing experience.
The tour was value for money, we stayed at some amazing places and the food everywhere was brilliant. We had booked this holiday not wanting or expecting luxury. We wanted 2 or 3 star guest house/ lodges for the experiences. There we some last minute changes which really annoyed us ( in the places we stayed) some were an upgrade which we did not really want. Our guides for the whole trip were brilliant. I would stay at all the lodges again, but not sure if I would use the same company. However we all loved it.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by David L
The landscapes are wonderful. The drive down and drive up were fun to experience with the top open.
Yet, it feels like a zoo. If you have been on other safaris, I would recommend skipping it and just do the lookout at the rim.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by David L
There are some elephants. There are lots of monkeys. There are birds. The park itself is dying as the lake grows and kills the trees. The other part of the park seems overgrown. You really only see animals that are within 6ft of the road. If you have been on other safari’s, I would recommend skipping it.
The night safari is a waste as well.

great hikes and people on the mainland, unpleasant in touristy areas
people on the mainland were absolutely lovely and very friendly, in Zanzibar the experience was the opposite - very insolent and everyone treats you like a bag of money. terrible flight coordination - your boarding pass, airport schedule and actual departure time are completely unrelated, resulting in unexpected change of plans as you go
