It was a most enjoyable experience
We are a family with two adult children and found the tour company - AAA Express Adventure - on the internet. Such choices are generally risky, but were very satisfied with our safari tour. Booking the trip went fast and smoothly. The company provided exactly what they promised. We had a skilled and competent tour guide, Salvatori. The accommodations were nice. All in all, we are impressed by the scenic beauty of Tanzania and the wildlife there.

Trip of a lifetime
July is the perfect time to visit Tanzania if you are interested in the migration. I would highly recommend the tented camps in the Serengeti as the experience allows us the most time to travel with the migration. Outstanding.

My safari exceeded my expectations in every way- great guides, beautiful camp, amazing wildlife.
My Tanzania trip was magical. I stayed at Selous Ngalawa Camp and was really impressed with the cabins, the views, and the amazing food. Roman was our guide and he did a fantastic job making sure we saw all of the animals we wanted, as well as getting us great angles for photos. I was surprised at how many animals we were able to see close up at the Selous reserve and loved riding around in the jeep looking at the gorgeous natural scenery there. In July, the weather was warm, not hot, dry and very pleasant. I'd read about the nuisance of mosquitoes and tse tse flies, but those weren't an issue at all. I was thoroughly satisfied with my safari through the Ngalawa camp and recommend it to everyone.

Tanzania is a beautiful gem in the heart of Africa.
Our group of four adults loved Tanzania. Tanzania has always been a bucket list destination for us and it did not disappoint. On our Selous safari we saw a variety of wildlife including giraffes, lions, wildebeests, a lion, a water buffalo, hippos, and a variety of beautiful birds. In addition, the scenic beauty of the county is hands down amazing and the people are welcoming with a smile. We definitely plan to visit Tanzania again.

The organization and the trip to Selous was perfect.
We booked a safari trip to Selous for two nights/three days with Gecko Adventures. All the process was perfect, from the given information, budget, changes, requests and specially the attention given by Rama. The final price for the safari was competitive. Our trip was from Zanzibar by plane, and our lodge was the Selous River Camp. The accomodattion in a triple Mudhut was great, just in front of the river. All the staff in the lodge were nice. The guide of all safaris was very professional. The weather in july was perfect. No rain and a nice temperature.

A spectacular life time experience
My wife and I spent 8 days in Tanzania, our trip was amazing thanks to Afrishare safari that organised our vacation, we landed at Kilimanjaro airport where we met Ibrahim from Afrishare; he was very kind to come pick us up from the airport, despite his busy schedule, we drove to Arusha city to stay at Mount Meru Hotel; a place with scenic views, good dining area and good service. our stay there was only for one night; but we highly recommend it, we also got to take a tour around Arusha before sunset on a motorcycle, it was a good experience.
On our second day we met with our Safari driver and we started our trip heading to Tarangire National Park for an all day game drive, one of Tanzania's natural reserves, northerly located, we were lucky we got to see plenty of Animals; cheetahs, Impalas, Ghazals, Giraffes, many Elephants as well.
We stayed at Nimali Tented Camp; a luxurious lodge located on the boundaries of Tarangire park; we were amazed by the elephants located in front of the camp which made sunset look even more wonderful. the place is very warm and cozy, we felt as if we were in our own home, in the evening we gathered around the bonfire and enjoyed a very romantic dinner under the stars.
We arrived to Ngorongoro Crater on our third day; the most beautiful park of all. The crater is full of animals, we got to see the big five there, it was crowded with visitors since it was the high season, however Ngorongoro is most definitely a must. We got to see a rhino there
Our stay was at Ngorongoro sopa lodge; it's our favourite place of all places we stayed in, with amazing views and delicious food, however; it's much colder than the rest of the places hence its on the edge of the crater's rim.
Then we spent 4 days at Serengeti national park, with almost 15 thousand kilometers of endless savannah plains; We were lucky enough to witness the great migration where wildebeests, zebras and many ghazals crossed Grumeti River, and we did an air balloon ride and watched the sun rising over Serengeti, we watched animals from the air. The driver was very cooperative and took us to all the places we asked for . We saw a few leopards and lions feasting
We stayed at two different tented camps; Asanja Under The Stars; we watched the sunset from a perfect point of view and watch the dazzling night sky full of stars, the tent we stayed in is called warrior tent, very nicely decorated, with a comfy bed, with toilet and shower inside the tent as well, food there was great. the drive to the Tent is a little long when driving from central serengeti. On the way we saw a Rhino and an elephant was getting a bath in the same submerged road we had to cross. it was intense. overall we do recommend staying there.
the second place was katikati tented camp in the north of Serengeti near the Maru river. the drive was long from central Serengeti but Hajj our Driver did a good job finding the place. The lodge was much simpler less luxurious, but friendly and cozy. Tenants dine with the driver and chat with him over a warm, delicious meal. on the way to the camp we say groups of tens of thousands of wildebeests migrating. We also saw some crocs in the river
We ended our trip by flying through Kogatende airstrip in Serengeti, where I sat next to the pilot in a small five seater cessna plane.
We'd like to thank Afrishare, Ibrahim and Haj our driver for this amazing trip. they were amazing through planning up until we flew out to Zanzibar, and made sure that we were happy and comfortable.

Really exciting, surprisingly comfortable and very friendly experience
We went for safari for three days. The trip was very well organised by Wildness Safari and we were particularly grateful to our driver (Mike) who was both knowledgeable and tried his very best to accommodate all our requests. The journey to Sealous was long (7 hours) but interesting as we were familiarising ourselves with very different scenery). The accommodation, at Sealous Jimbiza Camp, was excellent: very comfortable and the food was very good. The team there was very friendly! This is definitely an experience we would recommend to our friends, the only thing we would do differently is allow more time on the return leg (stay another day in Dar-es-Salaam rather than try to catch a flight to Zanzibar).

Great safari
We enjoyed our safari trip into Serengeti, Ngornogoro and Terengeri parks. I did not go to the north part of Serengeti/Maasi Mara, but I heard it will be amazing to watch the migration. I think I will try to make it as far north in the Serengeti park in next trips
Exceeded expectations!! Amazing experience with an incredible guide!
Everything about our trip was incredible; from the start of planning with Deo to the very moment we departed. Deo was great at suggesting places to go and which activities to enjoy at each location. Our safari was heavily centered around spending as much time as possible out in the bush and to experience a taste of a variety of ecosystems and landscapes. We visited Arusha Nat'l Park, Lake Manyara Nat'l Park, Serenti Central and North, Ngonrongoro Crater Nat'l Park, and Tarangire Nat'l Park. Each one offered a new experience and a new understanding of the animals behaviours in each park. We spent an average of 10 hours out in the bush each day, the days were long but so worth it! Daniel, our guide, had a vast knowledge of each park, the animals, birds, and natural behaviours. Being very interested in African conservation, ecology, and culture, the conversations flowed easily with Daniel and the long days felt like mere hours. He was an incredible, not only guide, but human. He is a very intelligent, compassionate, logical, and geniunely kind person and he made our trip all the more incredible. We loved every day spent with Daniel!
We saw the big 5 which everyone hopes to see. But we also saw a lot of amazing smaller species, such as Dik Diks, monitor lizards, pythons, antelopes, cheetah, mongoose, jackals and many many more! An incredible experience with incredible photo opportunities. Daniel would always find the best positions for the jeep so that I could Gert the perfect shot. Again Daniel was amazing!
Each accomodation we stayed at offered something new and unique. We stayed at mid range lodges and they were the perfect combination of rustic african while offering modern comforts, i.e. toilets and showers.
We ended our trip in Zanzibar where we didn't do any expeditions because we were so tired from our amazing safari. We spent 4 days laying around the pool enjoying the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks.
Earthlife Expeditions and all their amazing staff helped to make our trip to Tanzania a cherished memory that will last a lifetime! We will definitely be coming back!

Awesome safari!
The experience in Tanzania was fantastic!
Everything was amazing, my guide was young but very professional! There were some problems with our car, but he have been processed in a short time, so that our trip is not affected. And the food was good, even we have half vegetarian in our group , the chef also made a lot of delicious food!
