Close encounters with wild and very relaxed animals
Our guide and driver Godlove was excellent, spotting and explaining a plethora of animals - most impressive for me was his ability to name ALL the many birds very precisely. Our cook Marley created new and tasty four course menues every day and managed to satisfy the wishes of the meat lovers in our group AND of us vegetarians.
It was merely amazing how close you can get to all the animals and how relaxedly most of them watch you back (apart from most of the birds and zebras who would always get a few metres inbetween them and us).
If you come from central Europe and are used to fixed treaties - you will maybe feel more satisfied with your trip if you let some expectations more loose..

We recommend to take a tour operator from Tanzania. We had one from Kenya with a bureau in Arusha. The reasons for booking that special tour were some promises that the bureau in Arusha was not wanting to hold: a visit to Olduvai Gorge was to be included (already paid), two nights in Serengeti were in the description, game drive in Ngorongoro should have lasted till the afternoon - none of this was happening. Adding to the disappointment was that the bureau in Arusha didn't pay for the Lake Manyara camping site through the weeks before we went so at the camp site they won't let us leave on the next morning until payment was assured - making up to a delay of two hours before we started the journey to Serengeti, when we had expected to start with an early morning game drive there. It took a few nerves and some e-mails untill we got a fair refund for the promises not held.If you are relaxed about basic accomodation I really recommend you book a camping safari - it's so beautiful to wake up to footsteps outside (an elephant in our case) and "talking" hyenas (who will raid the dustbins). And you better get an excellent driver like Mr. Msemo who "rides" the dirt roads like nothing.
If you want to get in touch with your own wild nature - come to Tanzania!

Amazing trip ! We travel a lot and this trip was the best.
Even it’s the wet season, the weather was great, always sunny . When it rains it’s only for few minutes and it dries quickly.
No words can describe the wildlife , seeing the animal in their own place is amazing , it’s like nothing else. Just amazing. We were in 4 seasons lodge in Serengeti very good you don’t expect this quality of rooms and food in this place of the world. Top Top Top !!!
Our guide Aaron was just awesome, very listener to our requests and very patient with the kids !! Lucky we were with him
The car was in very good shape very confortable.
The small flights from Dar salam to Serengeti and from Serengeti to Zanzibar are by themselves an experience. Too scary
We highly recommend the travel agency Safari Hub. If you want to have the best trip ever ask for Victoria !!!

Selous Game Reserve (Morogoro) is the Wonderful Game Reserve In Tanzania. I had an amazing holiday.
I am satisfied with Whether, Scenery, Wildlife, Food, Accommodation that I was given at Behobeho Selous Game Reserve, they are Miraculous and Marvelous.

It looked like we drowe into a Jehovas Witness poster.. Into their vision of paradise.
Even though we went on safari during the wet season, we didnt see rain every day. During our 3 day/2night tour, we had rain overnight once. The accomodation was great, they called it tent, but basically we had a concrete room with shower, sink and wc,

then a frame covered with tarp and palm leaf roof with 2 beds (mosquito net too) room. All this on a raised concrete foundation with a porch where you could sit and look at the view. This was one unit. We stayed at Ngalawa camp, the camp was basic, electricity for 2-3 hours at night and sometimes an hour in the very early morning. At night you lie in bed listening to the bush babies making a ruckus in the trees outside. No AC. The food was good, the service was good. Our guide was great, this man man did his best to please us, but what I admire the most is that he wanted us to leave nature untouched, we were not allowed to feed the animals neither in camp nor on tour, and this is such an important attitude if we are to safely watch nature close up. Ive seen so many horrible examples of feeding bread, fruit and even plastic to get animals close. Also, going back we had a severe breakdown of the car. The guide made sure we were as comfortable as possible while he tried to have the car fixed. When he knew he had to go to Dar es Salaam (we were stranded in Kibiti) for parts, he made it so we found a driver to take us up together, instead of waiting yet another 3-4 hours for the company to send a car to pick us up. Than way we were home before midnight, late, but justifiable so. We were also stopped in a road block going out of the bush, some youth had organized this. Our guide tackled this very well, talked to them and so we passed without paying (important, because these things should not pay off). I dont remember the homepage of the company we used, but their email is [email protected]The guide was decent in english, and we ended up spending a full night just talking about life, there and back home for us. To me its extremely important to have good communication ability.

Fantastic Tour!!!
We have traveled a lot of the world and Europe, and this Tanzanian experience is by far the BEST travel experience we have both ever had. We chose the camping option, and felt very close to the wildlife both in game drives and off game drives. Camping was the real deal. We highly recommend!
Camping in the Serengeti was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Anwa (our guide) and Freddie (our chef) for taking such good care of us at all times. Anwa went above and beyond to ensure we saw the big 5, the best views, and as many animals as possible big or small. Anwa was extremely knowledgeable. You just need to do this tour! There are no words.
Freddie served us amazing food breakfast, lunch and dinner. Absolutely delicious. Freddie makes the best soup we’ve both ever tasted!!
Both Anwa and Freddie are fantastic

Incredible
Awesome time. Wildlife, scenery, accommodations, transportation were all great.
Incredible experience which allowed us to see much of the big game we came to see.
Excellent all around. Amazing agency highly recommend. This woman owned business is magnificent all the way. The entire staff was capable and welcoming so much so I not only used them for a safari but an organized trip of Zanzibar. I’ve personally recommended them while in Tanzania and felt important enough to write a review the word could see.
