Spectacular wildlife and beautiful beaches.
The safari tours are fantastic. Drivers/guides are well coordinated with each other ensuring that animal sightings are passed along, giving tourists the best opportunity to see as many animals as possible.
Beaches are beautiful but the harassment from local vendors is intolerable. Locals are friendly until they find out you don't want to give them business or money.
As a woman, make sure you cover up to below the knees (no shorts no matter how hot if you're not on the beach) because the looks you get make you feel like you're a piece of dung at the bottom of a shoe.
Get a hotel close to the main attractions because the driving is insane.

Amazing safaris!
We visited Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti parks. All were so wonderful, wildlife and scenery was amazing. So many different animal and birds! We witnessed the wildebeest migration, and had the opportunity to see a wildebeest river crossing! Services from our operator Gosheni Safaris were perfect, and the different lodges and tented camps we stayed at were really nice, with nice accomodation and food. Services in the lodges and tented camps was very professionnal and friendly. Weather was always nice, about 25-27 deg C. We felt safe everywhere we went. We did the hot air balloon safari in Northern Serengeti; it is really a must; so nice to see animals and landscape from above! Again, Tanzania is such a perfect destination for wildlife and birding; we saw 4 different kind of felines, tons of girafes, elephants, antilope and elk of many kinds monkeys, mongooses etc etc and saw the ''big five'' during our trip. Plus hundreds of magnificent birds, plus the incredible savanna landscape. A really amazing experience!

Diverse, charismatic, stunning scenery and wonderful people and food
Our family had a month of memories we'll never forget - squeezing in to a bjaje/tuc-tuc, eating wonderful fresh fruit, long distance bus journeys with people trying to sell all sorts of stuff every time we stopped, the list goes on. I haven't even mentioned the northern safari circuit and Zanzibar. The slave market in Stone Town was incredibly moving. A great place to explore

Everything was amazing! The driver was superb! David was a true friend always trying to help us to take the best picture and the best place to stop the car. About the lodges... best place to rest ever!

Amazing!
We had an amazing time in Tanzania, thanks to our tour operator Savannah Explorers! Seeing the animals in their natural habitat was an awesome experience! We visited several parks and saw soooooo many different animals. After 5 days of game drives, we flew to Zanzibar for 4 days on the beautiful blue beach. Our accommodations were all 5 star and we have no complaints. All of the people we encountered were so nice and welcoming. The weather was perfect, in the low to upper 80’s (F) during the day. Our trip to Tanzania was one of our best trips yet!

Safari Nyerere
Very good safari, with a great guide and lots of animals! Walking Safari was a real adventure and the boat tour wasn't to be underestimated either! All in all at least as good as Serengeti, just cheaper!!

Astonishing experience
Tanzania's National Park are a dreamy reality. Crossing their gates meant to me detaching from reality, society and all the problems related, it felt like a peaceful and spiritual reality where I regained a lost relationship with nature and animals. Sleeping inside the tented camps in the park was incredibly peaceful, it was really a dream, during the night animals roam around your tent, and we could hear zebras, hyenas, buffalos ecc.. Serengeti then was a real gem, we saw all the big five and many hunting scenes and lion cubs.
We choose Colours Africa Tours as operator and they were really helpful, always on time and always listening to our requests, they put us in amazing accomodations and give us delicious food, and I think they provide a really good quality service compared to the price. Overall that's an experience I would 100% repeat. Also, even when in Arusha or Zanzibar we felt safe walking around by ourselves in the villages, which is something you can't do everywhere in the continent. The weather was hot but pleasant in the mainland and in the parks, only in the Ngorongoro Crater it was very cool, but in Zanzibar it was, in my opinion, intolerably humid.

Absolutely incredible
Tanzania is an absolute must destination in your life time. From climbing Mt Kilimanjaro to a 10 day safari through the Serengeti, everything was more than I could have imagined. The visual beauty of what I experienced is unforgettable.

Amazing!
Tanzania was a great experience. Plenty of wildlife, the great migration and the beautiful scenery made our trip one that we will never forget. It's definitely one of the best, if not the best place to go on a Safari.
