Country blessed with great open grasslands, rugged natural beauty and abundance of wildlife
Tanzania was very welcoming for tourists. The wildlife tour operators seem very well regulated and self disciplined - we went with Savannah Explorers who were very professional and supportive ( thanks, Sultan!) - right from making a bespoke tour for us to supporting me with delivering my lost transit luggage into jungle camps, to providing us with exotic camps and wildlife sightings. The tour guide cum driver Felix was very experienced and unerringly took us to those exact locations from where the best possible view of various animals was available. We saw all the big five and the unforgettable wildebeest crossing Mara river. We saw fresh kills as well as hunts by lions and leopard.
We also had a great experience with the Miracle balloon ride in Serengeti with Captain Geert who skilfully piloted the balloon and kept us entertained with anecdotes. From the balloon you can really appreciate the vastness of the Serengeti endless plains.
I also have to appreciate the Masaai who were guarding the KonTiki camps and their friendliness as well as their amazing leap dances. the officers manning the transit border areas as well as the Sanctuary gates were all very cooperative and welcomed you with a smile and Jambo!
All in all a brilliant experience where we ticked all the boxes of our objectives. Well done Tanzania!

Astonishing
We had a 6 day safari at Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara in August 2024, saw all the Big 5 and many other animals at a very close distance, the scenery was amazing, the weather ideal (not hot but not too cold either), totally safe experience, 100% recommend it. Could have skipped lake Manyara though, since there were very few animals and a significant part of the district was unapproachable .

Tanzania game parks were amazing. We saw so many animals and accommodation was really good as well.
Our trip was incredible especially our guide, Godlove who was with
safari 360. He was so informative and helpful through out the whole 9 days. We saw so many animals who Godlove always saw first.
The accommodation was excellent and all the staff were super helpful . Tented accommodation was excellent. Loved every minute
of it. Got used to the really rough roads after a few days. But that was to be expected.

Mesmerizing
Tanzania is captivating. Went to Kilimanjaro and the sunrise at the summit is the must beautiful I have seen. The safaris are magical, you get to see all these wild animals in their hábitat. the beaches in Zanzibar are the cherry on top.

A paradise for animal lovers
I went with Serengeti African Tours and a got a knowledgeable guide in the form of Francis who made our safari unforgettable. The wildlife in Serengeti was spectacular. Not did we see the big 5, but we saw cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, etc in abundance. Our chef Ashraf made fresh local food which was delicious and comforting. It was my first experience tasting African cuisine and suffice to say I wasn't disappointed. After our safari we headed to Zanzibar and the beautiful white sand beaches were just what we needed after an adventurous safari. The clear waters provided excellent snorkelling opportunities. Overall Tanzania is not just a country, it's an experience that everyone should have on their bucketlist.

A beautiful different world
Tanzania is a beautiful country. People are lovely, we were feeling safe and everyday was an experience. The National Parks were stunning, a relaxed vibe, wildlife and scenery just amazing and lots of great accommodations with such helpful staff. Meru Slopes Tours was awesome. After the safari we relaxed on Zanzibar. Again a different world, with cultural Stone Town, the souk, the slavery exhibition, stunning beaches, great lodges and gardens. We had such a beautiful holiday.
