If it is wildlife, then one must visit Serengeti and Ngorongoro
I did a 4 day, 3 night safari in Tanzania covering Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national park. Safari booking enabled me to start looking for tour operators, after going through for a while, I got my safari booked with Everlasting adventures. The communication with them was professional and friendly. All my queries were answered very patiently. Coming back to safari itself, it was wonderful getting a glimpse of Africa's top 5, to encounter them up close in the open wild was the best experience I had. Serengeti's vast open Savannah, Ngorongoro Conservation area was beautiful. The parks are well maintained, considering wild life habitat and their ecosystem.

Such an amazing country, the wildlife is unbelievable
We did a week safari followed by 6 days in Zanzibar and both were sensational. Firstly, our safari was with Serengeti Smile who looked after my family of four brilliantly, and we saw all the big 5 and more. The whole experience was amazing. Then Zanzibar … we did a couple of nights in Stone Town and 4 nights in a villa on the beach. Such a relaxing way to finish. Can’t recommend Tanzania enough.

Great experience
We took a your days tour to Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater and Serengeti Park. The first day we had a shared tour with four other great people and a decent guide and saw some beautiful landscape and some animals but the lodge (Africa Safari) was overflooded and looked nothing like the pictures on booking. The company must have known this because on Booking was clearly stated by the guests that this happend a lot this year.
The next day we had a group of two people from Germany that acted really aggressive towards us and especially the driver because he was late to pick him up. He was disrespectful for an hour threatening and talking aggressive and the guide just stood there and did not react at all (he also talked to his boss threatening that he is important and his time is important). This ruined the experience at the Ngorogoro Crater because we had to spend all day with them in that car, which was definitely a shame because it was the most beautiful place we saw in this four days.
Afterwards we stayed at a beautiful hotel with an incredible view near the Crater also called Africa Safari.
All three guides said that Serengeti Park is the most beautiful in Tanzania but maybe not in December because all the animals were in the sout of the park and we did not know that when we booked two days in the central part. I think the people from the company organizing the tour don t know this or don t care, because to set a tour for two days at Serengeti Park where there are almost no animals is really not ok.
Also be careful when booking the tour to make sure where the flights are right. On the sheet from them it was drawn a flight from central Serengeti but in fact was a flight from Kilimanjaro (an 8 hour road). When we mentioned this to the staff from the company they tried to mend it by offering an upgrade of the logde in Serengeti Park (which was nice and clean).

Tanzania, Magnificence everywhere
An Unforgettable Adventure in Tanzania
Tanzania is nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this would be a journey unlike any other. The national parks are some of the most stunning I’ve ever seen. Each one offers its unique charm, but together they showcase the incredible diversity of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes.
We were fortunate to see animals up close—majestic lions, graceful giraffes, and even elusive leopards. The Serengeti’s endless plains were awe-inspiring, while the Ngorongoro Crater felt like stepping into a hidden paradise.
Beyond the natural wonders, the people of Tanzania made this trip truly special. Warm, welcoming, and proud of their culture, they generously shared their stories and traditions. Visiting local communities was eye-opening and heartwarming, providing a glimpse into a way of life that’s both simple and deeply connected to nature.
The weather was perfect during our trip, warm days with cool breezes, a bit of rain but no this impossible to face, making every moment comfortable whether we were on a game drive or relaxing at camp. Safety was never a concern; everything was well-organized, and the guides and staff took great care to ensure we felt secure and at ease throughout.
Tanzania is more than a travel destination—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The combination of unparalleled wildlife, spectacular scenery, and the genuine kindness of its people makes it a place I will forever treasure.
If you’re considering Tanzania for your next adventure, don’t hesitate. It’s a journey that will stay with you forever! Our agency was Ngekewa Safari, super nice guides 🥰

Richful in nature
Happy to have taken a safari tour to Tanzania, got to experience rich wildlife. In Lake Manyara, we saw sleeping lions in trees, many exotic animals, and not least a whole giraffe family, all up close. I found Tarangire a bit boring, nothing much to see except for elephants and ostriches. Ngorongoro was epic, the wildlife, the nature, and the sheer size of the place. We saw nearly all the animals, except for the cheetah. All in all, I recommend taking a safari tour.

Safari in Tanzania: an unforgettable experience
Tanzania is a beautiful country, and we went on a 7-day safari with Allen Tanzania Safaris. The guides gave us some unforgettable moments.
The landscapes are extraordinary and very varied. You we went in Tarangire, with its vast expanses of isolated trees and large numbers of animals, many elephants and herbivores such as wildebeest, zebra and giraffe.
We moved from Tarangire to the Lake Manyara reserve and you are in a dense forest where you discover completely different landscapes. You'll rub shoulders with the lake and see lots of birds, baboons and elephants.
We then went to the Ngorongoro Crater, an impressive caldera home to a huge variety of animals. Once again another magnificent landscape, another fauna, lions, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, zebras, buffaloes, eagles, yennas.
Then we arrived in the Serengeti, savannah as far as the eye can see. We travelled through the Serengeti from the centre to the north, again with extraordinary landscapes and more animals, lions, leopards, crocodiles, hippos, zebras, vultures, cheetahs...
We were at the beginning of November, a very pleasant season, with cool temperatures at night (15°C) and temperate temperatures during the day (25°C). This is the season for light rain, and we only had 10 minutes of rain during our stay.
We went on safari by taxi plane between Arusha and Kuro in Tarangire, then between Manyara and Seronera in the Serengeti. I can only recommend this method of transport between the parks, as you can enjoy the view from the sky of Tanzania's mountains and avoid the fatigue of travelling to the parks. I can only recommend it.
All across our trip, the accommodation was very comfortable and the staff welcoming.

Lovely Africa Safari
Abundance of wildlife in breathtaking scenic views of Serengeti, Ngorongoron crater and other Tanzanian national parks I visited made that safari unforgeable life experience which was spiced by expertise and warmth of the Goldfinch staff.

The ultimate honeymoon destination
We had an amazing time in Tanzania. We did both safari and Zanzibar beaches.
For the safari, we travelled to multiple parks (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater) and saw all of the wildlife. It was a perfect time to go with so many newborn animals, less traffic, and the weather was great. I was surprised at how much wildlife we saw, much more than expected. The one thing to mention is that the Serengeti is extremely dusty, so pack scarves despite the heat. It will save your lungs.
It was also ideal for us as we were able to use USD and everyone spoke English. We felt 100% safe the entire time.
Zanzibar was amazing as well. The island was completely different from mainland and very relaxing. The island is much more tourist-focused, so something to keep in mind with interactions and experience. We still enjoyed every moment.
I will treasure Tanzania and the safaris we had forever. The people, food, and environment were truly something special.

An enjoyable trip...
Our Tanzania vacation was great. We enjoyed seeing the Big 5 and many other animals. Wilda beasts and Zebras galore during migration. We saw 2 animals when we were on the hot air balloon. It was a fun experience. The landings are bumpy! The problem we had was that there were controlled burns while we were on safari. Many areas were filled with smoke which made sighting more difficult. The accommodations were superior but there was a lot of backtracking from parks to hotel. I would recommend a fly in safari or staying on site in the parks if possible. The tour guides were exceptional; Chris, Eric, Enoch, and Christian. Enoch was exceptionally kind, helping mom (83 years old) climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro! On our extra day we went to Serval Wildlife Rescue Park. A hands on experience; touch, pet and feed giraffes, impalas, an adult male lion, and many other animals.

A Lion King come to life experience
I had my trip to Tanzania with my boyfriend in November , right in the beginning of the rainy season , but it wasn't a big deal for the Safaris
Even tough it would be raining in the city somedays because of altitude it was always sunny in the parks with a cool weather , so I liked it a lot
We booked a 3-day safari with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club , D was our driver/guide/ranger
We went to Ngorongoro , Tarangire and Maynara . Each park was very different from the other so for a 3-day trip I would recommend this itinerary.
We got to see from close distance all 5 uglies and 4 of the big 5 .. Black Rhino was hard to spot and we only saw it once but from a very long distance.
About other tourism highlights I can only say about the hotel , which they had a dance and acrobatics performance every evening. We didn't go outside the hotel to the city and I wouldn't recommend it.
Also there is a very strong tipping culture everywhere wich came as a surprise for us in the beginning.
