My first African elephant and yellow rivers and hippo ears!
Craig communicated everything especially around the safety aspect of our game drives and game walk very clearly. We were asked what we would most like to see and I got my wish within twenty minutes of the start of the walk, the beautiful matriarch of the group of elephants gracefully lifting herself out of the river. Craig's knowledge of Africa is incredible, it is shared with the guests with charm and humour. On our final morning we went on an early morning game walk, came across water buffalo, which caused a bit of a stir, but made it to the river for a gorgeous sunrise with a pod of hippos starting their day........slowly? These experiences and my feeling that I was sharing some of Africa's secret moments gave me memories I will never forget and will ensure I will go back again.Thank you

Best Adventure Yet
My husband and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary with a magnificent vacation to Rwanda, D.R. Congo, Tanzania, and Kenya planned with help from Extraordinary Journeys. We travel frequently and were very impressed with the thoughtful planning from this company. They had every transition so well thought out, arranged the most beautiful and luxurious places for us to stay that were optimal for viewing the animals we wanted to see, and made every effort possible to make this a special trip for us while ensuring we got to do everything we wanted to on the trip. We appreciated the fantastic communication regarding every last detail both before and during the trip, which in speaking to fellow travelers can sometimes be hard to come by with some other travel companies. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to ensure all details are taken care of and communicated properly so that they can enjoy a carefree, luxurious, and adventure packed vacation.

Awesome 5 day safari with Kilimanjaro Trekking mate
Phenomenal five day trip: Tarangire-Serengeti-Ngorogoro. We saw an incredible amount of animals, including lions fighting over a female (it was the mating season) and some animals that are very difficult to spot (like leopards and chetah) thanks to our guide's sharp-eyes. Shareema (that's his name) was super knowledgeable about the animals, their hunting techniques and mating behaviors; he really did an amazing job at finding quiet and amazing spots.
It was a bit of a mission to get there because the roads are so bad but our guide was incredibly careful with his car so we made it through without any incident (unlike many other people that we saw waiting for repairs on the side of the road).

Review about Serengeti National Park by Xavier
Same as Ngorongoro Crater it is a must see, but way to crowded, do not visit it during August as it is peak season and you have safari vehicles all over the places!

Review about Mikumi National Park by Xavier
Beautiful, but I don't understand why a main road is crossing the National Park?

A real feel of Africa with amazing wildlife and people
Hi folks,
I have just written a few reviews on the two safaris we did with Serene Tours Tanzania, but I want to share my feelings about Ruaha National Park and the other Tanzanian National Parks. Also I don't want you to make the same mistakes as we did in terms of parks selections and time of the year we, I, visited these parks.
Back in January, with my better half, we did a Southern Tanzania safaris circuit. The National Parks visited were Selous, Rufiji, Mikumi, Uduzungwa Mountains and Ruaha. We had an amazing time, it was simply stunning and it will remain a lifetime memory. A couple of days ago I did a northern circuit safari, where I visited on my own Serengeti and Ngorongoro, it was also spectacular but, way too crowded!
Ruaha is my favorite National Park in Tanzania, it has a real feel of Africa, stunning wildlife and people are amazing. Lodges were beautiful, food was good, our guide was amazing... Well, in a nutshell do not hesitate do to Ruaha!
My advice to you guys is, start with the Northern Circuits, chose the time of the year and then only visit the South of Tanzania, and do not miss out on Ruaha!
Enjoy your safaris in Tanzania!
