Travelling in Tanzania is HORRIBLE
This was my second trip to Tanzania. I was there to watch the Great Migration. I was able to witness a small version of the migration in Northern Serengeti and was left with much to be desired. Tanzania charges an exorbitant amount for the visa and the taxes on tourists. However you get little to noting in return for the steep prices and cost of traveling in that county. The roads are a total disaster and guarantees total damage to your overall skeletal system specially your back. Where all the visa and tax money goes is beyond my comprehension. My driver told me that the roads are not paved since my country, the United States, asked the Tanzanian Government to keep things rustic. I have never heard such hogwash ever in my life. What interest would the US have in interfering with how Tanzania maintains or ignores its infra structure? I will never return to that country again. Besides Kilimanjaro and the animals there is nothing worth making the trip to expensive Tanzania.

Once it's not enough
Ngorongoro is a very stunning place. Serengeti needs more than one day.
Lake Manyara is a good surprise.
And the Tarangire's Baobab worth the trip! Zanzibar can divide you...

Perfect destination - so many different environments and microclimates, you get a bit of everything
My sister and I went to Kenya and Tanzania and both were amazing, but Tanzania was just something special. The food was incredible, the scenery, parks and animals were beyond what you'd expect, everything was seamless and worked out great, and then we capped it off with a few days in Zanzibar, which is a slice of heaven. The parks were sometimes a bit crowded but that kind of made it more fun. I've been in other parts of Africa with fewer tourists, and they were nice, but the volume of animals and just vastness of TZ's parks is really amazing. And mt kili too!

friendly people, many animals and scenic beauty
best Safari we ever did with Topy Tours through Serengeti, Arusha, Ngorogoro and other parks. Icredible experience to sleep in a tent in the middle of Serengeti and watching Zebras next to our tent. All people, whom we met were very friendly and helpful, it was just amazing. The guide through the parks could answer all questions and we could see the BIG FIVE.
August was a good time to travel there as the weather was very nice, we had 25 to 29 degrees Celsius every day.

Magnificent Nature and wildlife
The parks the animals the camps are amazing! We were so lucky and the weather was amazing! The most important point for Tanzania is the nature and the wild animals! But the most downsize thing are the street and beach hawkers all over areas where tourists are! They do not let people enjoy their vacation as they permanently asking for money and want to give them their services which are non existent. I was in Namibia and this was lasting hawkers there were 90% less there!

Country blessed with great open grasslands, rugged natural beauty and abundance of wildlife
Tanzania was very welcoming for tourists. The wildlife tour operators seem very well regulated and self disciplined - we went with Savannah Explorers who were very professional and supportive ( thanks, Sultan!) - right from making a bespoke tour for us to supporting me with delivering my lost transit luggage into jungle camps, to providing us with exotic camps and wildlife sightings. The tour guide cum driver Felix was very experienced and unerringly took us to those exact locations from where the best possible view of various animals was available. We saw all the big five and the unforgettable wildebeest crossing Mara river. We saw fresh kills as well as hunts by lions and leopard.
We also had a great experience with the Miracle balloon ride in Serengeti with Captain Geert who skilfully piloted the balloon and kept us entertained with anecdotes. From the balloon you can really appreciate the vastness of the Serengeti endless plains.
I also have to appreciate the Masaai who were guarding the KonTiki camps and their friendliness as well as their amazing leap dances. the officers manning the transit border areas as well as the Sanctuary gates were all very cooperative and welcomed you with a smile and Jambo!
All in all a brilliant experience where we ticked all the boxes of our objectives. Well done Tanzania!

Astonishing
We had a 6 day safari at Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara in August 2024, saw all the Big 5 and many other animals at a very close distance, the scenery was amazing, the weather ideal (not hot but not too cold either), totally safe experience, 100% recommend it. Could have skipped lake Manyara though, since there were very few animals and a significant part of the district was unapproachable .
