6 days camping safari Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Overall rating
5/5

We enjoyed our safari very much, we saw all the animals, all the big 5 (and all the ugly 5!), and were so lucky to see four rhinos in the Ngorongoro crater!! We also appreciated the efficient organisation Unfortunately, the safari in lake Manyara was limited in scope because of the flood (game drive in the morning only) but we could see plenty of animals and also saw many elephants at very close proximity. Also, the substitution cultural tour in Mto Wa Mbu was ok (although we didn't appreciated the selling visits at the shops). Our chef Boga was amazing, cooking for us delicious meals all 6 days, and so were the driver Viktor and Fidelis, who picked us up from the airport and back, they were very kind, cheerful and friendly. We were only a bit disappointed with our guide, Salehe, who was not much talkative, and at times we found he wouldn't put much effort, we would have liked more explanations and involvement. But overall we are very satisfied.

I was expecting to see wildlife but seeing all the animals so close was an absolutely amazing experience. Definitely would recommend visiting Tanzania and Zanzibar as well.

An unforgettable safari in Tanzania
Overall rating
5/5

We went on a 6 day safari in October 2024. We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ngorongoro NP and lastly Lake Manyara.
The tour was organized perfectly by Safari 360 and according to our wishes. The entire safari and the lodges we visited exceeded all of our expectations.
We can highly recommend the tour and the tour provider.

Cradle of life, kind people, eager to help, breathtaking scenery, amazing mountains
Overall rating
5/5

Tanzania is a gem of the central africa. Incredible scenery, vast savana plains, dense rainforests, huge mountains, friendly and happy people, safe place to visit the mainland and learn about the history of the place from the locals. Avoid, all-inclusive hotels and take a dive with the local vibe, travelling with a car and staying in the local areas of the cities. This will make you get a grip of the native vibe...
But the most important thing is to relax and expect the unexpected...everything here lives on pole-pole rhythm and at the end of the day, the point is: Hakuna Matata! Don't worry too much, and everything's gonna be alright!

Kwaheri Tanzania!

The safari trip was great and the travel to Zanzibar as well. Everxthing went well and we really enjoyed the trip. The people are very friendly. The only disadvantage is the ongoing talking on every beach in Zanzibar in order to sell stuff, trips etc.

2 family travelling together - kids in school holidays. Has the perfect experience.
Saw the big 5 and the wildebeest river crossing.
Lion king adventures picked a is from airport and dropped us back for our flight - everything in-between was taken care of. Luxurious accommodation even in the middle of Serengeti. They were flexible to accomodate our needs.
Our guides were excellent. Would ask for them again

A fascinating and friendly country with all you could want from a safari holiday.
Overall rating
5/5

We chose Tanzania because ‘everyone’ it seems goes to South Africa or Kenya yet there was reputed to be excellent chances of seeing the 'big five’ in this less visited country. I also consider where I go politically [where I spend my money] and whilst no government pleases everyone, Tanzania appears to be heading in a good direction. Our first visit to ‘Africa Proper’ did not disappoint in any way. We met so many friendly people - even those clearly relying on selling their goods to tourists were friendly whether or not we bought anything. Staff at lodges and resorts were wonderful. Food everywhere was excellent. For the reasons listed above we also wanted to book with a company based in the country so all our money goes there. Through Safari Bookings we found a tour by Safari Soles which was adjusted to suit our requirements - with a few days to visit Zanzibar. I could not praise Safari Soles more highly. Communication beforehand, nice mid-range accommodation a friendly guide with an encyclopaedic knowledge of all the fauna and flora and a proximity to most of the animals that was well beyond our expectations with perfect logistics throughout. We particularly enjoyed our ‘luxury’ picnic lunches with hot food, wine and proper plates etc. while many other groups were unpacking their cardboard packed lunches. And all for less money than half the time with a tour group based in the West - and ours was a ‘private’ tour. For ‘mid-range’ accommodation we were very happy; huge beds, plenty of space, nice en-suite facilities and a balcony in all the lodges and camps. More money spent on this would have been unnecessary since they were just overnight stays after long days. I’d advise if you have more money to spend - stay longer! I would also add that Tanzania is clearly a country of talent and enterprise. Souvenir items were more expensive than anticipated - although bargaining is the name of the game. But there is considerable artistry and with dollars to spend, one can purchase some beautiful things. We are recommending Tanzania to all our friends that express an interest in a safari and recommending Safari Soles as their tour company.
