If you want to see wildlife in their natural environment and doing what they do (and yes that means hunting) then Tanzania is a superb trip. In addition to the wildlife the landscape photography is stunning along with encounters with the local Massai tribe. All the camps were professionally operated and there was never a fear for security or safety. This is frankly a trip of a lifetime and we are already planning a return trip to Africa.
We saw everything except rhino (sadly) and had a wonderful experience of close up encounters with wild animals.

Tanzania and Kenya are two sides of the same coin, very similar, yet somewhat different. Both should be visited.

different parks .. different sceneries .. but a lot of animals and every game drive is worth the time .. the abundance and variety of animals make all trips worth

It depends if you are in the park or not. IN the park is 100% the real thing, but outside... not so much.

Tanzania is very good place for safari, but some processes to enter/exit from park is so slow...
There are many game management areas and national parks that rate the best in Africa.
I had read that November was not the best time to visit most parks in Tanzania but was pleasantly surprised. I saw pretty much every animal i had been told I could see at this park in reasonable numbers. The weather was dry and sunny with a cool breeze during drives. The guide was amazing, the staff at the company Sandland Tours were an example in superuior customer service even in the most basic conditions and I wished I could be on safari forever.
Best ever holiday
Our small group had a trip of our lives in Tanzania with a small excellent local company,East Africa Adventure Club . Our leader and guide ,Goodluck, lived up to his auspicious name . We were so impressed with his local knowledge of animals ,birds , botany and history (and he speaks 3 languages! Yes we did see the big 5-and so much more. There were so many highlights but our morning safari down into the Norangoro Crater was otherworldly-it felt like the garden of Eden !Our guides were efficient ,respectful of our wishes and fun -and good drivers which is a good thing on some roads . We finished up our delightful week visiting a school where our guide's children attended(some of us were retired educators). The trip engendered warm feelings for this magical continent,safe country and special guides .We have passed our recommendations on to friends and they have been equally delighted.
