Amazing wildlife, friendly people, beautiful beaches!!
We took an 8 day/7 night safari with SafariSoles followed by 5 days on Zanzibar. Both were amazing, 100% positive experiences!! SafariSoles was a fantastic company that let us design our own safari with very nice and comfortable hotels and tent cabins at an incredibly reasonable price. Our driver and guide - Kennedy - was also fantastic. He knew where to look for wildlife, when to stay and watch, and when to rush to another location to catch something rare. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the ecosystems and just a great all around guide. We also loved Zanzibar, both Stonetown and Matemwe Beach. We stayed at Emerson Spice hotel in Stonetown and Villa Kiva on Matemwe Beach. Both were great. We highly recommend the fish tasting menu at Emerson Spice's rooftop restaurant. It was really delicious and an incredible bargain. Villa Kiva is also great. Right on the beach with beautiful views and gardens, lots of nice places to relax, great food in the restaurant, and very helpful at arranging a dolphin boat/snorkeling strip. We loved Tanzania and would happily go back.

Great adventure
We had an exceptional time. Our tour guide Florid and Safari Soles planned everything.
We enjoyed the upscale tenting places we stayed. Zebras and elephants in our front yard
The animals of course made the trip. We even saw a baby giraffe being born

Breathtaking country with amazing people
We traveled to both Zanzibar and Tanzania mainland. We decided to plan most of the travel on our own which scared me. Even thought I am experienced in traveling around the rest of the world, I have never been to Africa and was not sure how things would work there. I can say you have absolutely nothing to worry. There are still pure soul people, I literally did not feel uncomfortable or in danger what so ever. You can book any daytrips at the beach from “beach boys” and everybody keeps their word and are punctual. In general, everybody was so willing to help us it’s unbelievable. Can’t think where to travel next after this experience.
Regarding safari, oh my gosh. We did Nyerere and Mikumi park and it was amazing. We booked extra night safari, but we probably expected way too much from that. It’s difficult to describe the experience but it’s beautiful to see these free animals living in the nature instead of the zoo. They are free and happy, just lovely. We did not see lions in the 3 days we spent inside the parks (5 days trip total but 2,5 days we just spent traveling and braise yourself 😄). However we managed to see a leopard which was precious. Our guide Anthony from Bujo Tours was such a sweetheart. Very helpful but also giving us space to choose when we want to interact. Just a lovely experience.
Lemme warn you here - you are in the wilderness and behave like that. We encountered multiple animals in our camp including a buffalo. Always follow tips from the camps and have Masai people take you to your accommodation after dark. Always ask if the camp is fenced. And ENJOY. This experience is an unforgettable one 🥰

Tanzania is incredibly beautiful, full of adventure and welcoming to visitors!
We enjoyed our safari through Paradise and Wilderness safari tours. We did a 4 day safari in Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National park. While we saw wildlife in all of the parks you can’t miss Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. If I could change one part of the itinerary I would skip Tarangire National Park and spend more time in the Serengeti. You will have amazing experience if you are willing to get up early and take your time on the game drives. Highly recommend Tanzania for safari and consider a private tour if it is your first time.

Sympathetic
Tanzania was an experience. There were good things and other not so good.
Zanzibar was nice. Arusha too. The safari was good but definitely over priced. Almost 200 usd to sleep in tents and take a shower with cold water??? Our tour was oversold too. We had some inconveniences....so irecomm6to book direct6with a tour comp9, not agents ( agents are nice's s extremely helpful but, they don6do direct6the safari and if there is a complain they fix anything).

Great country to visit, people were friendly & helpful in every aspect.
A great experience, our 10 day safari was seamless, food and accomedations were first rate. Will never forget the night a lion attacked something outside our tent. The sound will be inbedded in my mind for ever. Credit our great experience to our driver & guide Gerson of Kilimanjaro Adverture Safari Club. He did a great job looking after a couple of 80 plus year olds. We saw the big 5 plus many other birds and animals and would recommend this trip to anyone.

Unforgettable journey
We had a really nice time in Tanzania. The landscapes are mind-blowing, people are very kind and humble, and the beaches are incredible. Zanzibar is a very safe place (at least in the area where we stayed, which is Kendwa). We stayed there 10 days and then went on a 3-days safari on the mainland. Overall, an unforgettable experience.
