Rare opportunity to see magnificent animals in the wild!
Vervet Safari Tours helped us see an amazing variety of landscapes, cultures, and wildlife. Matthew knew where to look for animals and could drive and sight them at the same time. We got up close to lions, cheetas, leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, a great variety of antelopes, and more. We visited a Masai village, a cultural festival, and a women's cooperative engaged in sustainable farming and a number of community-sustaining activities.

wonderful
First of all, people are very welcoming, warm and nice.
Second, the nature is amazing and very various, from the wonderful beaches of Zanzibar to the lush vegetation of Kilimanjaro. Also, wildlife is well preserved and masai culture in very interesting.
Hope we'll return in Tanzania!

3 day Safari
We had a very memorable, fun and amazing 3 day safari. We went with Furaha and our tour guide Emmanuel was fantastic. He had great knowledge and was able to spot animals we would never have seen and then get into a position in the the jeep for the best view. We visited Tarangire National Park, Norogoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. All three areas were distinctively different. I loved seeing how the animals interacted with each other in their natural environment, especially the elephants, lions and Ostriches. Furaha were fantastic throughout. Phil would reply to our emails within minutes whilst planning our trip. I would definitely recommend Furaha, Emmanuel and the 3 day safari experience!

Excellente safari in Tanzania
We had a really interesting safari. Nine days immersed in nature in direct contact with animals thanks to the assistance of a truly exceptional guide. Charles was always very helpful and made us get to know and experience the parks in a very professional way. Thanks to him and the perfect organization of Hotsun Safari we returned to Italy with the memory of an unforgettable experience and also, as photography lovers, rich in many beautiful images.

Beautiful location
We went to Nyerere wildlife park and it was beautiful with some amazing sites and incredible animals to see. Local culture was amazing and people were generally very friendly. The tour operator was very good too (Daigle Tours). However, for how much we are paying, I do not believe that enough is going to the locals who do the activities. When speaking to some of the locals, they are reliant on tips from travellers rather than being fairly paid by the tour operator for their services. This should be looked into. It does not mean the prices for tours go up, it means the tour gives a bigger share to the locals.

An extraordinary experience
We loved the parks in Tanzania. Lake Manyara is denser forest, so it is harder to see animals, but if you meet them they walk very close to you. Ngorongoro has a special character, being inside that crater full of animals is unique. Tarangire is beautiful, the environment that one, or at least we, expected from the safari, the savannah. I would recommend everyone to visit Tanzania and the tour operator Kibi Mawenzi who organised everything for us was impeccable when we were there.

My family and I had an amazing safari trip in Tanzania for 20 days, starting in Arusha and ending in Moshi with a magnificent view of Mt Kilimanjaro to finish the holiday off.
We did 6 national parks and 18 game drives with our expert driver, Stewart from Kilislopes Safari & Tours. We saw leopard, cheetah, servile, lots of lions and all of the rest of the wonderful animals and many birds. The trip was everything we dreamed of. The bush camps were outstanding and the lodges beautiful. One won't be disappointed visiting Tanzania with so much to offer.

Beach holiday on Zanzibar and safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro - fantastic scenery and kind people
Within out trip to Zanzibar and Dar-es-Salaam, we had a four-day safari trip with the SafariSoles company. After being picked up at our Zanzibar beach hotel and brought to the airport, we went by airplane into Serengeti where we were met by out guide Simon. He was a safe driver and a terrific guide with eyes for the wildlife, so we enjoyed four days of safari with lots of nice views, photos and videos of the wildlife in Serengeti and in the Ngorongoro crater. We really saw "all" the scenery on the savannah, elephants, african buffalo, lions, leopards and a single rhino, but also immense groups of migrating wildebeast, giraffes, antilopes, gazelles, hyenas and hippos. Our guide had gotten the nick name Safari Monster, which we thought was a good fit regarding his abilities. The people both in Zanzibar and Dar were smiling and friendly and we really had a lovely vacation in a delightful climate, given that we come from Norway, which is cold at this time of year.
All the best to the Tanzanians who really have succeeded in the conservation of habitats for their wildlife and on the same time show great hospitality for foreign visitors. Thank you, Tanzania!

Overwhelming, mindblowing, unforgettable!
Tanzania, its people, its diversity, nature and national parks exceeded all expectations! Within 7 days we visited 4 national parks, drove about 1400km through 10 different vegetation zones and saw over 35 animal species. Each national park had its own charme and stunning scenery with humid djungle areas in the Manyara National park, dry savannah in the serengeti and a crazy crater with huge waterholes in the Ngorongoro National park.
Overall we fell most in love with the serengeti. We stayed 2 nights in a tented camp in the heart of the serengeti surrounded by nature without fences or other boundaries. We were just part of it all. At night we could even hear the buffalos eating next to our tent, hyenas strolling around us and lions roaring in the far. On our game drives we witnessed some special events like mating lions, a leopard eating its pray and a lioness with her cubs being approached by a group of elephants.
We saw the 3 big cats (lion, leopard and cheetah) and the big five, although the rhino just through binoculars. We were really lucky to have a guide we had a great vibe with. He also spotted EVERY animal around and knows every corner of the national parks. Having a good guide is crucial as you are dependent on his knowledge and decisions to be at the right spot at the right time.
The weather was warm and dry all the time. We felt safe at any time. Of course there were always other cars around when something exciting was on the menu (like predator eating prey or male lions being around), but it never felt like mass tourism. We always felt the bush and safari vibes. Overall it was a trip of a lifetime. If you are interested in some images of this trip check out my instagram @el.mago_merlin
