Be ready to be proved wrong
Tanzania will surprise you in any conceivable way, in an overwhelmingly positive manner. I had the opportunity to travel to Tanzania with my wife for our honeymoon, we had the pleasure of exploring the Kilimanjaro region, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar and Gombe. First of all, the variety of sceneries offers an adventure for each type of traveler, and when it comes to lodging, each destination can accommodate all sorts of budgets. The food was amazing, as it offers an interesting mixture of sweet and spicy, with a clear influence of Indian cuisine. Finally, the people were some of the nicest folks I have ever met, getting out of their way at every chance just to help and assist you.
The destination is safe, and the only danger will be deciding to stay longer, as ended up being our case.

Beautiful!!
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five.
Innocent was the right choice, always in the right place at the right time.
The camps were also very nice.
All in all better than we imagined!

Tanzania - A Diverse and Unforgettable Adventure Awaits!
Tanzania offers a truly exceptional travel experience, with its varied landscapes, rich culture, and abundant wildlife. During my recent trip, I visited the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and the Serengeti, each providing unique and memorable moments. The Serengeti was awe-inspiring, with thousands of wildebeest and zebras roaming the endless plains, while the Ngorongoro Crater allowed us to witness a diverse array of animals in a compact area, making for a fantastic one-day experience.
One of the highlights was seeing three lions walking together in the Ngorongoro Crater - a rare sight that our guide, Edward, managed to track down. Throughout the journey, the weather was pleasant, further enhancing our wildlife encounters.
Our cultural experience was enriched by a visit to a Maasai village, where we learned about their customs, traditions, and even had the opportunity to explore their homes. This provided a unique insight into the local culture and added depth to our Tanzanian adventure.
Safety was never a concern during our trip. Even when we ventured to Dar es Salaam and the stunning island of Zanzibar, we felt secure and at ease. The low season offered the advantage of uncrowded attractions and beautiful blue waters, making for an idyllic getaway.
In summary, Tanzania is an incredible destination that I would highly recommend for its diverse offerings. The safaris are a must-visit, and the rest of the country offers a delightful one-time travel adventure. Don't miss the opportunity to explore this breathtaking land!

Untamed wildlife and beautiful african scenery and landscape
I visited Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro conservation area and the Ngorongoro crater. In Serengeti NP I was on a one day walking safari and had a further day for a game drive. I saw a lot of game including 4 of the Big Five - no leopard. Most amazing and impressing where the big herds of Wildebeast and Zebras. This was really untamed wildness. Animals to the horizon and no end.
I entered the Ngorongoro crater in the early morning hours. The situation and the scenerey was somehow magic. Sun rose over the mist in the crater - absolutely stunning. There is also a lot of game in the crater, besides giraffes who cannot enter it.
I also visited the cities of Arusha and Moshi. These are pure african cities whith low public transport capabilities (Minibusses, Motorbiketaxis and Tuk Tuks are available). You should take a guided tour there, especially in Arusha.
Overall I am really more than pleased with the Parks in Tanzania and enjoyed the african live in the cities.

Outstanding safari
While not having been on a safari before, I reckon our experience with African Big Cats Safaris & driver/guide Lovoi was outstanding. The safari was organized to meet our budget and experiences requests, for 9 days/8 nights in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater districts. Accommodation & food in fixed & tented camps exceeded expectations, as did the all day game drives, with an amazing profusion of animals, including lions mating, cheetah jumping up on our truck to use as a viewpoint, close examination by elephants, and exciting view of hippos, mongooses, birds of prey, snakes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, impala, leopards, buffalo, rhino, and many more. Lovoi did an outstanding job of animal spotting, while also driving the Toyota Land Cruiser through often challenging conditions. We included a balloon ride over the migrating herds, which was well worth it, plus a visit to the Hadzabeh tribe of hunter/gatherers. Very welcoming people, still trying to live their hunter/gather culture, while being pushed by circumstances into becoming more integrated into modern lifestyle. The difficulties this creates for them & their neighbours is showing, and as there are now less than 1200 in the tribe, they likely will not be able to continue their traditional way of life for much longer. We took a Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera with integrated 125x zoom lens, which enabled us to capture many beautiful closeups that would have been well beyond the capabilities of a mobile phone or standard SLR rig, and again Lovoi proved his worth by positioning the Land Cruiser to allow us to take clear shots. Many great memories, very enjoyable.

Unforgettable and unique experiences and people
I stayed in Zanzibar with my friend for two weeks. We had the most amazing time. People were super friendly and welcoming and we did not feel unsafe even when walking at night time. The island looked really beautiful on the beaches and it was warm and sunny the whole time. The mainland Tanzania was more dry and not as nice looking, at least in where we were. However, the safaris in Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire park were amazing and definitely worth it. We used Hello Tanzania / KAMar Safaris for our safari trip and everything was done amazing. Food at restaurants in Zanzibar was maybe not the best as it was a bit pricy and bland but the fresh fruits were amazing. But overall we had amazing trip and would definitely visit Tanzania or at least Zanzibar again!

Welcoming with knowledgeable guides where we felt safe at all times when on Safari
We traveled to the Ngorogoro Crater where there is an abundance of wildlife in a great setting, all within the confines of the crater. The guides were knowledgeable and used a two way radio system to relay details on sightings so we got maximum benefit in directing us to where animals were located.
