Saw the Big Five and much much more!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our Tanzanian safari. We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park including the northern part near the Mara river, and Ngorongoro crater. All of the accommodations were excellent. The Simba lodge had a watering hole right next to it where we saw elephants, zebras, warthogs, and storks. The tented camps in the Serengeti were very comfortable and close to the animals, including one night with a Hippo munching on grass right by our tent! We used Makasa Tanzanian Safaris. They were very responsive to all our inquiries. Our guide, Jamal, was AWESOME! He knew where to find the animals and was also quite knowledgeable about birds. We saw 40 different animals and more than 90 kinds of birds. We saw the big 5 and much much more. Some of the highlights were:
the massing of many different kinds of animals at the Tarangire river
spotting the African Wild Dog (Cape Hunting Dog) an endangered and very rare species
viewing lots of animals at the watering hole next to the Simba Lodge
seeing a large pride of lions comprised of 2 males, 5 females, and 13 cubs
a mother lion nursing her 7 cubs (she also carried one around in her mouth)
3 wildebeest migrations across the Mara river
2 female lions stalking and killing a zebra right in front of our eyes
Spotting a rhino up close

Unbelievable Safari
We were lucky enough to see the big seven. The weather was great. The tent lodges were exceptional. Very clean and comfortable. Our guide David Mushi knew how to spot the wildlife from a great distance. He always put us into position to see the animals up close. The people of Tanzania are very happy and friendly. Overall a phenomenal experience.
Memorable safari experience
Every part of our trip was up to our expectations. Transportation was clean and comfortable and our driver Ali was the perfect companion

Amazing Safari with the „big five“ — 100% recommendation
The mixture of our group (which was organized by the company) was really good and we had quite a lot of fun during the five days in one car ;-)
Our driver & guide was very experienced in spotting wild animals while driving. We were really surprised because we didn’t expect to spot that many animals. He was always up to giving us an unforgettable safari, we are very thankful for him.
Thank you so much for the organization, we made „the big five“ :-)

Spectacular
Saw the big five and so much more. Our guide was outstanding. I accidentally slipped and suffered a severe injury, the Tanzanian people were the most kind, helpful and compassionate you could imagine. I received excellent medical care. Highly recommend.

A must do experience to feel connected to Nature.
We made a 6 day safari (Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) followed by some time in Zanzibar.
Would we repeat it, we would´nt skip any of these places. Amazing wildlife. We could even catch a leopard with a prey, which is rare in daytime. Impressive the wildbeasts migrating along Serengeti savana. Ngorongoro is astonishing, a true sanctuary. We were fortunate to have Andrew as a guide, no efforts spared to fullfill our aims. Andrew was very resourceful when we had problems with the car.
We must emphasize the good quality of the lodges (Nsya Lodge, Eileens Trees and Ngoromgoro Rhino Lodge) and the unforgetful tented lodges (Osupuko and Tortilis). In everyone of them sympathy and quality and the food above our expectations.
In Zanzibar, wandering Stone Town, the harbour, the market, a trip to Prisoner´s Island, was a perfect end to our journey.

Exceptionnaly beautiful, exceptionnaly expensive
We spent 8D/7N across 4 parks (Taranguire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara), it's really worth spending as much time as you can in parks, the raw nature is absolutely amazing.
I was really surprized about the costs, it's true the places in the world where you can see the same things are limited but still, $6000 for two, for a lower-scale luxury safari.
Our car had some problems in the frist days, apparently, that happens regardless of the provider: the difference between the low cost and high standards companies is the time you will spend fixing that. For us it just took few minutes. but the price, I was expecting a spotless car, well no, it doesn't work like that :-/.
Our guide was fluent in english, absolutely crazy spotting abilities - while driving -, extensive knowledge of fauna and flora, add to that a really nice, friendly and fun person. Ask for Abraham, he is working for Uhuru Travel & Tours. Remember you will spend 90% of the time in the car, with your guide, if his english is bad or something else is wrong, this might ruin your trip.
