An amazing experience!
Being a lover for wild animals and nature in general my experience was breathtaking,we were able to see the big 5,the ugly 5 were also in the reserve including the marabou stork,certain indigenous trees were in the vicinity too.The tented camps were great and our driver/guide was very knowledgeable.though the wildebeests migration was over we were able to see one of the points where this happens on sand river where there were many hippos and crocodiles.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by keelyip

Wonderful experience "Dancing with the animals"
There're plenty of wildlife and truly huge National Park. Our driver is also guide, who is very knowledgeable. The way it works is, they call each other once they discover something, e.g. lions about to hunt. My friend mentioned it should be paved road, well, I don't think so. The dirt road keep the harmony of the wild. There're plenty and different animals to look at. We visit Serengeti after Kilimanjaro climb. Couple things I like to advice other visitors. 1) sun protection (common sense) 2) we bring mask as October is dry season, very dusty 3) avoid blue/black color clothing as there're flies like to land on such color clothing, the bite will make you itchy. It's not migration season yet. But it is lion mating season as pregnancy is 11 months and new cub will be burned September next year which will give them 1-2 months dry season time to grow strong and healthy. We also stay in tent which is different experience in comparing with lodge, strongly recommend. The food is delicious and unlimited. I definitely will come back again during migration season.

Review about Tanzania by shehnai
4 stars for bush vibe, because there are a lot of other vehicles grouped around animals when sighted, the word is passed around to other tour groups. However, not as bad as Disneyland!

An amazing country
Loved everything about the trip with the following exceptions..........Too many guide changes. Wanted Eric start to finish, the others were limited in their communication and social skills............Some days were just to much driving, at least 2 were just travel days only...........Be honest about the bucket showers in your description of certain facilities and also, if I were a birder, I would have been very disappointed that there were no Flamingo's, as you prominently display in your advertising. These reasons are why I gave an overall 4 Star rating instead of 5....... I would also like to note that I was happy to give my business to Kenyan and Tanzanian business owners, as opposed to safari companies owned outside of Africa.

Fantastic animals, good food, super great guide, nice tented camps.
Wildlife was fantastic. We saw a lion right next to the truck, also cheetah and leopard very close. It was lion mating season so we got to see that too. Thousands of zebras, many hippos, elephants, etc etc. in the Serengeti there were lots of animals but they were more spread out. Miles of dirt roads sometimes a bit rough and bumpy. September/October was a great time to go because rainy season was over but still lush and green. Ngorongoro crater had a greater concentration of animals and we saw a rhino in the distance thus completing our sigjting of the big five. Our guide, Godson, was super! He was nice and friendly and had an excellent eye for spotting animals that other guides missed. He was also the driver and avoided potholes and washboard roads while keeping an eye out for game. He was interesting and went out of his way to make sure that all our needs were met. He took us shopping on the last day and also met us at 3 in the morning to take us to our flight home. He was the best guide I’ve had in years of traveling. A plus was that there were just 2 of us passengers so we had a private tour. We saw other jeeps with people crammed in jockeying for space to take photos. We took the 14 day Cultural, safari, and Zanzibar tour from Uhuru Tours. We got to do everything on the itinerary and it was well organized and less expensive than tour companies based in other countries. Uhuru is local. Tented camps we stayed at were very nice with toilets and hot showers in the tent and good food. One place we stayed at, we could watch elephants and zebras in a mud hole close by from our porch

Had a wonderful time, had a great guide and enjoyed the sights.
Meet at the airport by my guide Apolo. Was very well taken care of. The lodging was adequate and the food. Was very good. Everyone at resort was very accommodating. Got to see lots of wildlife but missed seeing any lions. Taken back to airport and then on to Kampala after safari. I was only one on safari and could not have felt any safer.
