The BEST part of Tanzania are the people. Do not forget them. Make sure you give a gratuity.
This was our first safari so we have nothing to compare it with. However, we had an incredible time there, both in Selous and Mwagusi, and were blown away with the scenery, the amount of wildlife that we saw, and with the friendliness and passion for their country that we witnessed in all of the management and their staff.

Amazing fauna and flora on magnificient lanscapes together with great services.
Very different National Parks with a different vegetation from really green (Arusha) to dry areas (Tarangire) and very special (Ngorongoro)
Only 4 stars for "bush vibe" because the better-known parks are rather too crowded

Tanzania is excellent place for safary - we were in Tarangire, Ngoro-Ngoro and Serengetty National Parks and all these places were very interesting and comfortable places for safary with enough hotels you can choose for the rest after safary.

I've not seen other famous safari destinations but I can say that higher price is justified, giving you the best of wildlife.

Unspoiled beauty
It was an amazing trip, I only wish that it was longer, I would've liked to spend more time at the Ngorongoro crater. It was definitely the highlight of this trip, a unique ecosystem that's been preserved in it's present state for many years. We were fortunate to see a pack of hyenas hunt wildebeest, that's not something I'd ever expected to see. At Lake Manyara we were able to observe several families of elephants, they walked right alongside our jeep, so close that we could see their eyelashes. Lake Manyara is also a birder's paradise and a home of great many baboons. One word of caution - it was very dusty, bring a mask or a bandanna to tie around your face, and drink lots of water.

Tanzania is an amazing experience for anyone who loves nature.
Dar es Salaam was our first destination in Tanzania. The cultural experience was wonderful. Seeing the Indian Ocean was a bonus. The Ngorogoro Crater is a spectacle to see alone. The first glimpse over the edge is one of many sights that I will never forget. The wildlife: I do not know how you can describe the sights and sounds of Africa. The Crater offered outstanding opportunities for photography.
The Serengeti:The openness and amount of life was more than I could have imagined. Our hot air balloon ride overwhelmed me. I was humbled and blessed to experience.

Tanzania is absolutely great (probably the best) safari destination. I have not been around Africa a lot but heard more than once from various people who travelled with me and visited many more African countries than I did that there is hardly any other place out there that has such a mix of natural beauty combined with HUGE variety of wildlife, great service and people friendliness, relaxed atmosphere and fantastic overall experience. To that I can only agree.
