Amazing
Brilliant trip to Tanzania. Amazing people and safari. Spend more time in Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorogoro, Manyara was a flop.

5day tour sep 23
“I embarked on a 5-day safari adventure in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro regions, encountering the magnificent Big 5 along the way, with the exception of the elusive rhino. One standout moment was witnessing a leopard feasting on a gazelle—a truly special sight.
The weather was consistently hot, but a light night storm in the Serengeti added a touch of beauty to our journey. Our guides were excellent, even though accommodations were basic. The highlight was the fantastic food.
A surprise came in the form of cold weather in the Ngorongoro mountains, but it didn’t dampen our spirits. I learned so much about animal behavior, habitats, and the fascinating lifestyle of the Hadza people.
Overall, I’d highly recommend this safari experience, though I might opt for a shorter 4-day trip in the future due to the bumpy terrain.”

It was amazing!
It was really amazing, the people are friendly and the tour through the various national parks was a once in a lifetime experience, you cannot convey the magnitude of the experience because words just do not do it justice. The Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater was really an awesome experience we saw lots of Wildlife, Mara National Park was not great I would give that a miss next time round. The Serengeti was FANTASTIC....I have never seen so many wild animals together in my entire life and I have been to many national parks. The hot air balloon ride was truly amazing and a must do. We saw the big 5 but there were so many awesome moments like the flamingos and hyenas in the Ngorongoro Crater. Out tour operator Lion King Adventures was really great and catered to our every need, I will use them again.

Amazing Safari, lovely people
We did a full 5 Day 5 night Safari visiting Terengire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Safari360 and we were very happy with the arrangement! Our guide Amosi was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about Tanzania from him. He showed us every animal we requested.
These parks were very green and booming with wildlife in November. Lake Manyara national park was surprisingly like a rain forest, and Ngorongoro crater had absolutely beautiful scenery . Most of all we enjoyed Serengeti and the wild camps, really getting close to the wildlife and nature. I had never thought I would see thousand and thousands and thousands of wilderbeasts and zebras. Awestruck and very happy with visiting Tanzania with safari360!

My Best Safari Marvel so far
Back in 2022, I visited Tanzania and during the final days of a business trip, I found myself exploring the Tarangire and Ngorongoro as we drove through the parks, and the streets of Arusha the warmth of the Tanzanian people was evident, there was a genuine connection between humans and nature. The untouched wilderness serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between conservation and evolving landscapes.
One notable aspect of this adventure was the exceptional services of Nihapa Tours and the friendly guide Suma who accompanied us. His passion for wildlife and welcoming character added a personal touch to the safari experience, making it feel like a journey with a friend. This connection highlighted the genuine warmth and hospitality ingrained in Tanzanian culture. As a girl born in the Cayman Islands surely there is not much natural beauty that can awe me but Tanzania caught me in surprise.

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.

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.
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.

amazing Wildlife, great people
Late March 2024 I did a solo Safari with Soul of Tanzania to Serengeti and Ngorogoro. My driver, Losioki was the best I could have asked for. Very respectful and polite, and with an impressive ability to spot animals (because of him I was lucky enough to see a leopard!). Apart from that, People are very welcoming, services providers are well trained, and polite, you can trust them. As a solo woman traveler I felt safe. Right now, I wish a haven't had gone just to have this experience again.

A trip to Tanzania truly is a trip of a lifetime
Tanzania is a place where you feel most welcome the minute you step onto its African soil. The people are abundant in their warmth and are quick to let small talk turn into real conversations about their lives and families. The guides and the government show great care in how they manage the national parks, and it is evident in the conditions as you travel throughout these vast and diverse regions. I came to see the many animals of this land; but what I really saw was a place that needs to be felt and touched by shaking the dust off of your hat and feeling the winds blow across your neck - the adventure is so much more than what a safari might look like on the internet. From the shores of Zanzibar to the openness of the Serengeti; the land reaches into your heart and makes you realize that wherever you may be now, your true wish was that you were back there again. I truly thank the people of Tanzania, and my tour operator Ozon Light Tours for the memories and stories I'll have for my lifetime.
