If it is wildlife, then one must visit Serengeti and Ngorongoro
I did a 4 day, 3 night safari in Tanzania covering Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national park. Safari booking enabled me to start looking for tour operators, after going through for a while, I got my safari booked with Everlasting adventures. The communication with them was professional and friendly. All my queries were answered very patiently. Coming back to safari itself, it was wonderful getting a glimpse of Africa's top 5, to encounter them up close in the open wild was the best experience I had. Serengeti's vast open Savannah, Ngorongoro Conservation area was beautiful. The parks are well maintained, considering wild life habitat and their ecosystem.

The amazing vibes of Serengeti
During our trip (duration 7 full days) we visited for 3 days/2 nights Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and 4 days Zanzibar, staying one day in Stonetown and 3 days in an all inclusive resort in Nwungi Beach. The weather in Serengeti was marvelous - sunshine 16-26 degrees Celcius, however, as we were there at end of the rainy season we had the chance to see the Park dressed in green and the rivers and lakes full of water (green grass all over, green bushes etc). So the scenery was amazing. We booked our safari with Serengeti African Tours and everything went on smoothly. Dickson, our guide, was an excellent driver, which counted a lot as many paths in the Park were full of mud and water and it was easy to stuck. He also knew all the spots with the animals and plenty of information about them. The tented camp and the lodge we stayed were very nice. Accomodation was more then satisfactory and the food great. In Zanzibar we went without a tour operator. We stayed in Park Hyatt in Stonetown and Riu Palace in Nwungi, which were great, great breakfast, by the beach, excellent service, with one bad night in Riu, were a cocoroach walked on me while sleeping and they changed us rooms until they spayed and clean the room next morning. For some hours before our flight to Athens we booked a room in Tembo House which had good service but the room was terrbily hot as the air condition was either too weak for that room of mulfunctioning and did not improve although we complained about it. Overall I think that it vital that in Zanzibar one stays in 5 stars hotels otherwise one risks more to face inadequacies that spoil the trip. Weather in Zanzibar is not so good as it it hot and VERY humid and you stink from the first 5 minutes that you walk out. However, the nature is very nice and while you swim and saty by the beach it is nice. We were lucky to have an excellent taxi driver when getting around in Zanzibar (Omary), which is vital as the roads and the traffic there are madness, especially when it gets dark and I do not recommend for anyone to self drive there. As I am a traveller who likes to be independent and I like to rent a car wherever I go, I consider this as a serious disadvantage of Zanzibar. Also, one thing I want to mention is that as a woman travelling without my husband I faced some ridiculus problems especially at the domestic airport of Zanzibar and Arusha when traveling to and from Serengeti. The personel of FlightLink in both trips tried to cause me problems in order to offer solution which called for TIPS! When I was flying to Serengeti they lied to me telling that my flight was canceled ( the plane departed on time after 2 hours, eventually with me inside as an employee of the Zanzibar airport said to the personel of Flightlink something) and when we were returning to Zanzibar they did not load my backpack, weight 8 kilos and a backpack of another italian lady, weight 2 kilos, and the explanation was that plane was overloaded (there were many empty seats, as it was low season) !!! No male passenger faced the same problem, altough they had huge and heavy luggage! Coincidence ? I do not think so. When my backpack arrived with the next flight after 90 minutes they "helped"me carry it to the taxi, hoping for tip which I did not give of course! Last, Ï want to mention the VISA and ZIC insurance that add almost 90 euros or dollars on the budget of the trip without any justicication ! It is just an easy way to exploit - but not sustainably - the tourists that visit Tanzania. These 2 charges make sure that we will not come back, although we had a very good time, plus the fact that the trip is not very expensive nor too long, so it can be repeated by the same tourist.

Beautiful and authentic
We went to Mikumi and this was amazing. Saw the big 4 which was incredible!
nice to see once
We were not lucky to visit national game park in rain season at the coast near DAR es Salaam. Due to the high grass and bush we did not see a lot of animals,Dar es Salaam is a big city with not a nice vibe.

Safari was disappointing
Disappointing safari
This was our third safari the last 2 were in masa mari National park this one was in Nyerere national park
We booked through Greg adventures and would not use them again
They flew us outside the national park and arrived at 7 am and we couldn’t enter the park til after 11 am because they only paid 2 days park fee when though we were quoted for a 3 day safari
We drove nearly 7 hours to get to our hotel through desperate roads
We ended up having to buy a flight out from a nearby airstrip as we couldn’t face the journey again
The park is nowhere near as good as masa mari it’s hard to see the animals with all the growth and we could drive fir ages without seeing anything
Overall disappointing and had a lot of upset all down to the agent we booked through

Real bucket list
Difficult to express in words our week in Tanzania . What I would say in short: this is a must . You can not only see the paradise on Earth , but also a real happy and kind and careful community. Must experience
