Ruaha National Park, the best hidden secret
After several safaris in Kenia and Uganda, we decided to go to Southern Tanzania to visit the still unspoiled Selous and Ruaha parks. Ruaha National Park is a beauty. From the landing at the airstrip, you see elephants, zebra, giraffe,... This park is totally uncrowded, you can drive around for several hours without seeing another vehicle. Wildlife is therefore not disturbed by jeeps and is very relaxed. We saw at least 12 lions (even up to 10m), cheeta, leopard, and of course dozens of elephants and hippos. Ruaha is a must for game drive lovers... We stayed outside the park at Tandala Tented Camp. A beauty...very comfortable tents, great bar, excellent food, very friendly staff. Masai protect you as wildlife come into the camp and every evening many elephants come to the waterhole in the camp.

The most magnificent country I've been to
I've been in Tanzania for 10days. 8 climbing kilimanjaro, 2 on Safaris. This has been the BEST trip of my life. Its all been done through East African Voyage, who has proven to be an impecable travel agency. Kilimanjaro was the best experience of my life and the camping structure provided by East African Voyage greatly contributed for the feeling. Our guides victor, ray and jerald where the kindest and most prepared and experienced professionals we could hope for. The 2 days on safari - Taranguire and Ngorongoro were spectacular. Such a diverse, rich and fully preserved wildlife. Victor was again our guide, providing us with the best possible experience. Fantastic catering.

I'm sure the bush vibe was there but I was in 5* lodges, so not so much. TZ is the best place in the world to see not just the 'big 5' but so much more the parks are vast with a variety of environments, the people I met were lovely
Fascinating country
The safari exceeded our expectations - the national parks are well maintained, the people who worked in the lodges are diligent and efficient, the tented camps are a welcome surprise, the variety and concentration of wildlife gave us thrill and chill each day. We passed by local folks and they seem warm and accomodating, they made us feel welcome. I commend the country and people behind conservation groups for preserving the national parks. It made me aware of our responsibility to preserve God's creation so future generation have something to experience. This is a true legacy.
Zanzibar - I was not thrilled when I saw it. I guess I'd been to better white sand beach. But the resort is good, with wide selection of food in dinner buffet. What I did like though is the privacy we had in the beach front despite the resort being fully booked.
Stonetown is a very interesting city, very rich in culture and architecture.
An out of the world, awesome experience
Good weather, good food, good accommodation - eveything beyond expectation/ imagination. What appealed most was the fact that the Tanzanian people are so eco-conscious. The locals are careful not to spoil the savannahs. Neat places, healthy respect for fellow human beings, law abiding, secular, etc.- wonderful people. In remote places in the jungle women were working in the lodges in the night showing that there is ample safety and respect for women. It was great to spend some time in such a glorious nation with wonderful people.
Fabulous
We went on Safari with E&H Blessed Safari twice; March 2010 and 2012. Both times the weather was beautiful, the animals plentiful and the experience mind boggling. Witnessing he Great Migration is beyond belief.
The people are polite, friendly, and anxious to please.
The magnitude of the Serengeti is difficult to imagine. On our last trip we covered over 2000 Km in three weeks, and loved every minute of it. We are planning to return soon.

Amazing animal paradise
The animals abundance and the beautiful scenery in Tanzania is just awesome. I visited Serengeti, ngorongoro and lake manyara in 4 days with Asante Tanzania Safaris and I saw everything I always wanted to see in the animal kingdom!
Our tour guide was perfect with good information and the cook was marvelous too. Its adviseable to carry a sleeping bag for more comfort at night.

The numbers of animals viewed was unbelievable. We saw them all ( except a leopard ) in the hundreds, new borns as well . The birds were also plentiful and beautiful and ones never seen prior to this safari to Tanzania.
