Tanzania is awesome, so skip the Zanzibar part.
We loved our trip. The best part was Ngorogoro Crater. We should have spent two nights there instead. Oscar our guide was awesome!!! We were really disappointed in Zanzibar. It was dirty and the shop sellers were way too aggressive.

Magical
Tanzania is truly a magical, beautiful country with a high regard for preservation of its culture and natural resources. We were there during the rainy season so everything was green and lush and although it was overcast the rain was usually short lived 15-20 minutes per day and did not diminish the ability to see the myriad animals. It is also migration and calving time over the Serengeti and seeing vast herds of zebras and wildebeests with many young newborns was awe inspiring. Each Park and Conservancy area has its own unique ecosystem with different

plant and animal life so there really was not a dull moment. I also have respect for a country that preserves its indigenous Masai population and tries to integrate their beliefs and way of life into the landscape of the country. Would go back again!

Spectacular!
I had the opportunity to visit three different parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. All of them are amazing and support an incredible abundance and diversity of wildlife.
The weather was nice (I was there in November); It was raining just in Arusha, not in the parks. In general Tanzania seems to be a safe country. Arusha is full of tourists, so I think the local people are very used to foreigners.

A beautiful country well worth the visit.
My wife and I met our two daughters in Moshi and climbed Kilimanjaro via the Machame route over 5 nights. It was an amazing experience but not to be taken lightly. Especially the final ascent which involves 8 hours climbing after just three hours sleep and then a 8 hour descent with a one hour sleep half way down. But what an amazing experience never to be forgotten. That was followed by a three night safari of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater where we saw every animal you could wish for. Another wonderful experience.

The most spectacular and breathtaking place on earth.
The people of Tanzania are kind, beautiful, patient. I believe they have a lot of experience with tourists, and it shows in their welcoming nature and preparedness. The towns and cities are clean and well taken care of, and it feels like every person is a gentleman with how they carry themselves. I went to Tanzania for the safaris, and even though I was only in the national parks for 4.5 days, it was the experience of a lifetime. We saw so many animals and beautiful landscapes, and our tour guides were very informative and never made us feel unsafe. It was clear how well every safari guide was adhering to safety and environmental regulations, and how they would go above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our short stay. I also was in Zanzibar for two days with family, and I think it was stunning, truly the best ocean experience of my life. Never before have I seen a beach so clear and beautiful,

Gorgeous
We did a five day safari that ended in a day trip hike in Kilimanjaro. Our guide for the safari, Herman was out of this world good! He was able to spot animals that we would’ve driven right past without his skilled vision. His driving was incredible also! There were multiple instances we saw other safari jeeps get stuck in the mud on roads Herman had just gotten us through. He was also extremely patient with us getting just the right picture, stopping to view the animals as long as we wanted to, and he was able to predict what direction the animals would head in so we could get as close as possible. There were multiple times we were able to get right next to animals, without any other jeeps in sight!
I definitely recommend booking through Meijo Safaris, they made everything so easy and enjoyable!! And be sure to book the hot air balloon ride too, it was such an incredible experience!

Great experience!
We did a 3-day tour in Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. It was amazing to see those very different parks and all the wildlife there. Out of the big 5 we saw 4 (unfortunately no leopards). Out of the 3 parks Ngorongoro was our highlight. Because we were travelling during the rain season there was a lot of water everywhere (Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro). Because of that we could not see some of the animals well. On the other hand the landscape was so incredibly green. I would definitely come back during wet season.
Our tour operator (Tanzania Go Adventures) was amazing, as well as our tour guide Amos! The company is a local one (compared with many of the big ones owned by westeners). Our experience was very pleasent. Definitely come back another time and highly recommend it.

The greatest experience in my life so far
Tanzania is a breathtaking beautiful country. The nature there is incomparable and varies from woods, rain forests to grass land. There are so many animals to See in the parks and all the parks were very well looked after. We stayed in Arusha.
Arusha is a very international city and we had a great tour guide from African Chitah- a travel organization I can highly recommend.

Tanzania is an excellent safari destination with lots to be seen.
I visited Tanzania in December 2023 and did a 9 day safari over the Christmas and New Year period. I booked through Doreen Paradise and Wilderness, who were excellent. I was taken on a circuit of the national parks in the north of the country, and had some great wildlife viewing as well as some cultural encounters with the Maasi people.
The only real downside is that a lot of the roads are not metalized and can be rough and corrugated. So driving what can be long distances could be difficult for those with a bad back or similar condition.
Another piece of advice I would offer is always to go with a reputable travel company unless you are very confident of making your own arrangements. The bush in Tanzania is very different from European or North American city life and one could feel very lost without a ready made support network.
But I had a great time and would recommend it highly.

To become "dada and kaka" with Tanzanian people
If you're a single woman / man and doubting whether Tanzania is safe for you, I can assure you from my own great experience that Tanzania is much safer and cleaner than many Western countries. Its people are very friendly, open and happy, even if they earn in average less than 180 $ per month. Their communication skills are very good - almost everybody knows basic English. Workers in tourism (sector that has still a lot of potential) are fluent in English and very knowledgeable. In addition to beauty of the land, food is tasty, their mangoes are unbeatable.
I did 5-day safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro Creater, Tarangire and Manyara Lake) and 7-days Lemosho Route to Kilimanjaro (my regards goes to Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventures company). Safari offers abondance of Flora and Fauna, while Mt. Kili is adventure per se. Recommended!
