There are a lots of great NP´s around. The distance between the hotspots is sometimes long, but worth each mile.

The people are friendly & the guides are very knowledgeable. They are a little laid back but as we will be on a holiday, that fine! The Serengeti National Park/Lake Manyara NP & Ngorongoro Crater can be a route to see a lot of birds indeed. You will not be disappointed!!! If you are arriving via Arusha Airport, Mt Kilimanjaoro can be on the list too.

The variety of the landscape and the extensive wildlife was amazing. We had time to enjoy all of them --- the smallest animals -- field mice and birds --- to the elephants and the predators... This IS your life dream. Don't miss it.

Tanzania is a safe and friendly country. It has the most wonderful parks that are well maintained. More tourists are finding their way to Tanzania due to the difficulties of traveling to Kenya. I have been to both and find Tanzania a far better destination. It simply doesn't disappoint. I plan on returning in a couple of years if not sooner.
It offers the chance to see many different animals, and also large numbers of animals. There is good infrastructure, including many good lodges and several good tour companies that supply guides.

Trip of a lifetime.
Tanzania has so much to offer as a safari destination and visitors have the opportunity to see so much wildlife and bird life. The landscape is more beautiful than I had imagined, with the lovely shaped acacia trees to the more exotic looking baobab and euphorbia trees. Sunrises and sunsets are incredible. We were also very fortunate to be able to see the wildebeest crossing the Mara River.

Tanzania has a lot to offer. The people, the animals, the culture are all something that you are unlikely to experience anywhere else in the world (well, the animals you'll see elsewhere). In Moshi, I never felt unsafe walking around during the day. The people were quite friendly and always smiling and happy to talk. I will say, that riding or driving in Tanzania is not something for the faint of heart. There were times I really thought my life was coming to an end! So there is that negative point. I've also heard from people that traveling in Dar es Salaam you need to be extremely vigilant. There are numerous stories of robberies, but not having been to Dar, I can't fully comment.
I would love to go back to Tanzania to explore further. I would love to go to Gombe, Ruaha and Katavi National Parks.
Our trip to Tanzania was everything I had hoped f or and more. Since it was just my husband and myself in an individualized tour, we were able to stop and spend exactly the amount of time we wanted with each animal and we always had a good view. Besides the animals we learned about several of the different tribes. It was our morning with the Wahadzabi bushmen that really blew us away! We went on a hunt with them and watched them get stoned, dig up roots, cook and eat the roots, get stoned again and also shoot arrows. Besides knives, this group has no material things. They were a very happy group and their mood was contagious and the life was fascinating!
In all three tribes the young children had draining eyes, flies all over their faces, and lots of mucous from their nose. That was really difficult to see as an RN and a mother.
