Overpriced and overrated
absolutely, the great migration is a spectacle you must see at least once. But other than that, I found Tanzania to be mostly disappointing. Not so much what we all saw, but more the overall experience. If you keep in mind that you are visiting the most expensive national parks in the world, you expect something in return. In the Serengeti, for example, I think the roads were extremely bad. We did 10 days of full day safaris, which at the end I almost couldn't last because of the back pain. The rest camps are completely worthless and unpleasant. Again, for the most expensive national parks in the world you can really expect more. The distances between our sightings were often enormous. Everyone drives through the Serengeti at unprecedented speed to make sure you don't miss a lion that is then sitting 200 meters off the road... And which you are watching with 70 other cars... Guides do not behave professionally, push the animals too much and the tourists are also 'once in a lifetime safari poop', which you can see from their behavior. It is often noisy during sightings and I found it difficult to enjoy it. All in all disappointing, not value for money and the safaris were not romantic and relaxing as I often feel in private parks.

Trip of. Lifetime
We went first week of June and weather was perfect, cool mornings and evenings and about 25degrees centigrade in the middle of the day. Scenery and wildlife were incredible and the parks are relatively quiet so no mobs of vehicles. Saw the big 5 plus loads of other animals and birds galore.
Parks - 1 day Tarangire, 2 days Serengeti and 1 day Ngorongoro Crater which was perfect. Would make it an absolute must, great experience, very friendly people, and we felt very safe.

The roads are disgusting. I feel sorry for the vehicle and driver
The roads department should get there together and do something about it

Amazing
I always felt very secure despite sellers always around us! I stayed in Red Monkey Beach Lodge in Jambiani beach and was perfect! People so nice and always helpful! The only problem is the drive to stone town or other places because the roads were bad! Loved going to mainland and making safari! Don’t lose the opportunity to go to ngorongoro because is one of a kind!! It was to little time!! Needed more because everything was amazing!

In TZ the wildlife and people were both incredible.
Safari Bookings was a very smooth process. They accommodated our interests completely and gave us a great safari experience. Initially, it is an adjustment to wire money internationally, but it went smoothly and safely. They accommodated the dietary needs for my son and I (gluten free) which was a relief. Also, my wife added a stop at Oldupai Gorge and with short notice they made the adjustment. It was a very interesting stopover and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. All vendors for the guide/driving and lodging/meals were excellent. We would use them again. And by the way, we went on the longer safari of 6 nights and 7 days. If nature and animals is your goal then don’t hesitate to have more safari time and less Zanzibar time. It was only on our last full Serengeti day that we saw a leopard and then on the drive back the next day we saw a cheetah. Both would have been missed with a short safari.
