Tanzania is a must visit place if one wants to see the animals in the Wild.
Overall rating
5/5

Tanzania is now the only last place to see and experience the wild animals in the Wild.
In my tour in September 2023 I met few tourists who went to South Africa and saw the wild life there. In their words it was like seeing these animals in a Zoo. The lions there were afraid of humans whereas the Lions of Tanzania were actually wild and were not afraid of humans.
One lady Nancy aged 89 was speaking so low of wildlife in South Africa. In comparison with animals in Tanzania.
I told my wife n my friends that we were lucky to visit the right place !!!
Our tour was also nice and Vegetarian food was also provided.

Tanzania is an excellent country for a first timer in the African continent!
Overall rating

My experience in Tanzania was highlighted by my tour company, Suricata Tours, who were extremely attentive and professional. Not to mention the staff, who was friendly and on it! Amazing experience!
In Zanzibar, I encountered a very expensive reality. Many times the prices were charged in dollars, and more expensive than Europe or the US, which makes me think, they should pass a law to charge everything in shillings. It makes no sense to charge in dollars, if that is not the national currency.

Our guide George really had the best eye (even compared to other guides).
Highly recommend staying in all the melia hotels (Arusha, Serengeti, Ngorongoro…)

Beautiful country and unforgettable trip

After having done a 10-day safari in Tanzania with my boyfriend, I cannot stop recommending this experience. The landscapes were wonderful, the people extremely kind and the whole trip was perfectly organised. We booked our trip with Lion Kong Adventures and we definitely recommend them for your trip. Their customer service and attention to detail is unmatched!

It’s like a dream to see such a lot of creatures in Tanzania. All of the animals show me a totally different view of life and their status of freedom made me jealous. Hope we can get back to Africa someday soon.

A dream came true
Overall rating
5/5

We had booked the 8 day/7 night safari including Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. And it was worth every penny.
Raphael, our tour operator, always stayed in touch with us whenever we needed him from the first email until we left. He customized the tour based on what we wanted to do and see. The lodges he suggested could be modified for our purpose. They were all really good, some even excellent.
Our guide and driver Oscar was the perfect man for a safari with all his knowledge, driving skills and humor. He has a lot of experience and is flexible whenever necessary.
We had a large extended Land Cruiser with plenty of space for two people. Chilled drinks on board were included. The pop-up roof was perfect for taking photos.
The most important thing: We saw so many animals, some very, very close. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants... even a rhinoceros. Everything the national park has to offer. They call it. Overall, we were very lucky to watch the great migration with thousands of wildebeest near us.
We can definitely recommend Safari Soles. On our last day, Bryson, the company's manager, came to our hotel to say goodbye. Perfect

If you can visit just one country in Africa - it must be Tanzania!
Overall rating
5/5

We have just completed 2 months travelling Southern Africa. We enjoyed it all and all 10 countries we visited. But on reflection, if we had to choose just one, it would have to be Tanzania. Ngorongoro Crater would probably be the pick of the parks, but the Serengeti and Tarangirie are close behind. The animals were amazing. We saw the big 5 twice over, and whilst finding animals in the wild can be hit and miss, your chances are greatly increased in Tanzania. Add that the quality of food and accomodation was top notch - what’s not to like?!

Overwhelming, mindblowing, unforgettable!
Overall rating
5/5

Tanzania, its people, its diversity, nature and national parks exceeded all expectations! Within 7 days we visited 4 national parks, drove about 1400km through 10 different vegetation zones and saw over 35 animal species. Each national park had its own charme and stunning scenery with humid djungle areas in the Manyara National park, dry savannah in the serengeti and a crazy crater with huge waterholes in the Ngorongoro National park.

Overall we fell most in love with the serengeti. We stayed 2 nights in a tented camp in the heart of the serengeti surrounded by nature without fences or other boundaries. We were just part of it all. At night we could even hear the buffalos eating next to our tent, hyenas strolling around us and lions roaring in the far. On our game drives we witnessed some special events like mating lions, a leopard eating its pray and a lioness with her cubs being approached by a group of elephants.

We saw the 3 big cats (lion, leopard and cheetah) and the big five, although the rhino just through binoculars. We were really lucky to have a guide we had a great vibe with. He also spotted EVERY animal around and knows every corner of the national parks. Having a good guide is crucial as you are dependent on his knowledge and decisions to be at the right spot at the right time.

The weather was warm and dry all the time. We felt safe at any time. Of course there were always other cars around when something exciting was on the menu (like predator eating prey or male lions being around), but it never felt like mass tourism. We always felt the bush and safari vibes. Overall it was a trip of a lifetime. If you are interested in some images of this trip check out my instagram @el.mago_merlin

Beach holiday on Zanzibar and safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro - fantastic scenery and kind people
Overall rating
5/5

Within out trip to Zanzibar and Dar-es-Salaam, we had a four-day safari trip with the SafariSoles company. After being picked up at our Zanzibar beach hotel and brought to the airport, we went by airplane into Serengeti where we were met by out guide Simon. He was a safe driver and a terrific guide with eyes for the wildlife, so we enjoyed four days of safari with lots of nice views, photos and videos of the wildlife in Serengeti and in the Ngorongoro crater. We really saw "all" the scenery on the savannah, elephants, african buffalo, lions, leopards and a single rhino, but also immense groups of migrating wildebeast, giraffes, antilopes, gazelles, hyenas and hippos. Our guide had gotten the nick name Safari Monster, which we thought was a good fit regarding his abilities. The people both in Zanzibar and Dar were smiling and friendly and we really had a lovely vacation in a delightful climate, given that we come from Norway, which is cold at this time of year.
All the best to the Tanzanians who really have succeeded in the conservation of habitats for their wildlife and on the same time show great hospitality for foreign visitors. Thank you, Tanzania!
