Zanzibar and Tanzania, come, see and lose e all Your illusions
We booked for Zanzibar with 5 days Safari on the mainland (Tanzania). The first thing that we negatively noted was that Zanzibar, outside of the resort, as an Island is very dirty. I was brought up with the saying: If Your poor then at least be clean.
The people of Zanzibar that we met stem mostly from the Mainland Tanzania, they are very friendly, helpful and kind. That is the only really positive point, and in that a very noteworthy one. The organiser of the safari was at all time reachable, kind, efficient and its organisation fine. A light in the dark.
Zanzibar was as dirty as a Garbage dump except the airport and the hotel area. The mainland was far better, but then it has not much to show for.
Then, the different day tours where expensive for what was given, mostly not worth to participate. A 1-day safari to the main land will cover all the tours with exception of the swimming with the turtles.
If You go to Stonetown, don’t expect anything and even then, you will be disappointed!
Serengeti, the high grail of a national parks is very disappointing nonetheless You can see the Lyons and other animals, however You have to prepare for a lot of dust. The drivers call each other where for example a Lyon is and then 30 to 40 Jeeps rally to this point, creating a traffic jam in the middle of nowhere and leaving everybody covered in dust. All the other parks where ok, but Serengeti was a big disappointment, here Tanzania markets its animals worse than in a zoo.
One must have seen Zanzibar and Tanzania to lose one owns illusions. Once in a life time is enough.

Disneyland. Too much tourists
Very nice but crowded. The Maasai are oppressive and not at all authentic. They only want to sell trinkets.

Tanzania is the very best for viewing nature, eating well, feeling safe and enjoying the people.
Tanzania makes my heart sing! I would return in a heartbeat …and I will in 4 more years for my 80th. It is about the Serengeti, the remarkable opportunity to view animals in their own environment, up close , and in abundance. And yet, it is equally about the people of Tanzania, the warm welcome, the kindness visited upon us , the openness . Yes, I know they are paid to welcome tourists, but I have travelled a great deal and these people are special and unique. I miss them everyday.
The food is wonderful, the lodges and tented camps feel authentic …it is just perfection . My 9,11, and 13 year old grandchildren will never forget what they saw and learned here.
Savannah Explorers took great care of us , ensured we saw more than we dared dream of seeing… including the stunningly beautiful Cultural Heritage Centre in Arusha and the galleries outside Arusha. The art, the artistry, the beauty of this country was on display everywhere.
I miss all of this. It is one of my favourite countries in the world.

Amazing experience - particularly the service and kindness provided by Obadia!
We went to a mine site visit and then on a safari to Serengeti and the Crater. Obadia also took me for an early morning run around the town which was incredible!

very welcoming people, akunamatata. any problem is not a problem.
Me and my family had a 6 days safari with Fullpackageadventure in Tanzania and then moved to Zanzibar for 5 more days.
The driver/guide (Adrian9 form the agency was really super. Very nice and very competent about driving, wildlife and orienteering... which is not easy at all!
I think in Tanzania one must study 4 years at the University to become a safari guide.
We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and lake Manyara. All parks offer different animals and very different landscapes. Lake Manyara was the less interesting but as last day it was a good way to a soft coming back to "city life".
Be aware that in August parks are not that hot! There is a plasent temperature. If you are going to visit Ngorongoro you will reach 2200 metres altitude so you will need a warm jumper/coat.
All Tanzania people are super nice and really welcoming.
It is a very safe country where you can travel without any fear.
We liked Tanzania (and Zanzibar), its people and its fruits very much!

TOP! Magnificent!
What a wonderful time spent with Plex Africa. We opted for the 3 days of game drive with the safari boat. We were leaving from Zanzibar so having the return flight included was not insignificant. Once arrived in Nyerere (Selou) we had the chance to meet our guide Selum who accompanied us throughout our stay. A caring person, very kind and who knew how to make our 3 days very pleasant.
The park is very large, we saw a lot of animals there. It was fantastic. Being able to have breakfast or lunch in the middle of these landscapes are moments that will remain unforgettable.
The lodge was very comfortable with staff always attentive.
Communication with the tour operator is fluid via WhatsApp.
We also had the opportunity to visit the village next to our lodge. It was a very touching moment. Remember to bring small school supplies for the children, otherwise sweets are always nice :)
In short, we are very satisfied with Plex Africa who made these 3 days a perfect experience.

It’s an absolute must for your bucket list
We booked our safari through Tanzania Roadside.
It was an amazing experience, every park we visited was stunning and the variety of wildlife just incredible. We seen the big 5 thanks to our brilliant your guide “Elly “ but the biggest thrill was viewing the great migration, a truly once in a lifetime experience.
It is a beautiful country,the safari facilities are excellent and the people are so friendly

Amazing safari and great beach time
Our family of three (parents and a 14-year-old son) had an amazing holiday with Serengetismile. We split our two weeks equally between a safari and beach time in Zanzibar, having an incredible experience in both. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro parks, guided by Kisali, who impressed us with his expertise, knowledge of animals and culture, very safe driving, and genuine commitment to giving us the best experience. We saw plenty of animals and enjoyed amazing, well-equipped, and clean camps in the middle of nature. Our Zanzibar adventure started with the must-see historical Stone Town, followed by a very relaxing, quiet stay at Villa Kiva on the beachfront. Everything was very well organized by Erick, communication via WhatsApp was excellent, all for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend this team!
