Tanzania as a safari destination that has it all.
If this is your first safari and your driving ambition is to get some amazing sightings and to rack up the big 5 as soon as possible then Ngorongoro Conservation Area is probably the best place in the world. Head for the Serengeti, however, if you have time for a longer safari and your goal is to take time to roam – moving as a nomad with the vast herds, or simply skirting across the savannah between the rock outcrops that are the lookout posts of the Serengeti prides. The Serengeti remains for me (alongside Botswana’s Kalahari) as one of the very best places in the world to experience the awe-inspiring vastness of the African wilderness. There is no feeling like being in the middle of the incomparable immensity of the savannah with no other vehicle in sight and a herd of wildebeest stretching as far as the eye can see towards the horizon. Big thumb up to Mgalaa Expeditions for organizing such a wonderful safari of our life.

Amazing people in an amizing landscape
We visited Tarangirie, Ngorongoro an Serenget Nationalpark. All are very different and worth to visit. During migration the Serengeti is unbeatable!
Being accompanied by papagei tours made us feel in professional and careful hands.

"National Geographic"-like holidays but in real life !
We were lucky enough to see all the Big Five's animals during our trip. Safari was well organized (we went for the camping-budget option) and gave us the opportunity to have zebras grazing just next to our tent.
A one-of-a-lifetime experience recommended.

Garden of Eden
My trip was wonderful. I did four days in different parks including the Serengeti. My only disappointment was on my last night in the tent. It was not designed for the cold weather and it was not compatible with the luxury package that I chose. So my last night was not fun at all.

Unforgettable
Our safari with Zohar was absolutely incredible! From the wildlife to the accommodations to the service we received before, during, and after the trip was flawless. We were met as soon as our plane arrived, and we were taken to the airport as we waved goodbye to our new Tanzanian friends. Every detail was planned, and we were prepared for the trip of a lifetime. Our driver/guide Solomon was knowledgeable, personable, friendly, and accommodating. And of course Lilian, the owner of Zohar, was fantastic as well. She gave me and my family the persnal touch that made this trip so special. Asante sana to all our new friends in Tanzania!

Great cultural and scenic experience
I loved my experience in Tanzania mostly for the fact that the locals are the only ones leading the tours and expeditions. I felt like I had a more genuine experience because the hotels, guides, drivers, and porters were all native to the country and there was a lot of open communication about their experiences and perspectives. Plus their hospitality and expertise were incomparable. Everything worked out without a hitch and I have nothing but respect and admiration for the country and its people.
I went on a Safari in the Serengeti and climbed Kilimanjaro and I felt very well taken care of the entire time.
Also, the food was always fantastick.

Very good
Definitely worth it for us.
The fact the 3 days are split into different kind of safaris is very nice. The guides are funny and overall it was a great experience in every day.
The driver was also really good and took us to some places where no other cars were.
Accommodation was also quite nice and cozy. Although it could get quite loud in the night because of the baboons (but there's nothing really that you can do about that), the food really surpassed all our expectations (specially because we are vegetarians) and the staff was very friendly as well.

A great way to get in touch with Africa for first time
I booked a 2 night/3day safari in Nyerere National Park, starting the trip from Zanzibar and finishing back there (flights included).
I choose Shammah Wonder Safari as I took 3 quotes, and from there, Justin, the owner of the company, got in touch with me and started asking me my needs and preferences, making sure everything was okay and perfect.
He helped me with all the details, even booking some accommodation in Zanzibar and finding me a driver, Makame.
I had the chance to know him and he was a very charming man who wanted to help in everything he could, so I highly recommend you to book your safari and activities through him.
About the safari, It was a really nice experience, so I could see lions, elephants, giraphs, impalas, zebras, hipos...It is not always easy to find them, but the guides where making an effort trying to find them and explaining you everything they knew about them and the land. Particularly I was very happy with my guides Jackson and Eli, who where very charming and welcoming, with a great level of english.
The accommodation was at Africa Safari Camp, and in my opinion was great, with a nice place to sleep and great food. Masai where guarding the place and they where really nice with guests. At night I had the chance to dance with them and it was an amazing moment I will never forget.
The one thing you should ask, is if you are going to a village or a school, as I did and didn't know. Then, you will have the chance to bring some materials and stuff to children and people over there that could use it and take profit.
In conclusion, this is one of the best experience I ever had and you will not regret if your attitude is positive, curious and grateful.
