Our safari to Mikumi was perfect - the wildlife was stunning and our driver, Nico was wonderful
We had a wonderful 2 day trip to Mikumi with RajaTours - we saw elephants, giraffes, wilderbeast, zebra, hippos, warthogs, baboons, birds, buffalo, lots of Impala and the highlight was seeing a leopard. Although the drive from Dar was long - we managed to see wildlife on both days and our driver Nico was great - charming, accommodating and went out of his way to look after us. We stayed at the Tan Swiss Lodge which I would highly recommend- perfect evening swim, friendly, welcoming staff and lovely food. Rajab was extremely helpful - he responded quickly to emails and made the booking really easy- even a follow up email to check we had enjoyed ourselves. COudnt have asked for more!
Amazing Experience!
We had a great trip with Watu Safaris to Selous and Mikumi. The combination of the two parks made that we had a great experience and saw lots of wildlife. Excellent guide and great service by the people of Watu Safaris. An amazing experience!

Amazing!
We have visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti (2 days), Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
It was an amazing experience, worth every dollar spent.
We've seen many animals, big 5 included.
Amazing
We had such a great time! We had a 3 day safari with Michael, he is such a great guide. The boat safari was really beautiful, on the second day it was the game drive and we saw a lot animals, lion, wildebeest, elephant, birds, monkeys, impalas, buffalo, zebras... the last day we made a safari walk with a bushman, and came across wild elephants, it was a dream coming true. The accommodation was ok, sometimes we had no water in the shower, but everything else makes that good, the food from Amos was soooo good! Every night he made a veggie meal and I loved it! We miss it already. We did a short safari and i really recommend them.

Amazing family trip to Tanzania - breathtaking landscapes, amazing people,powdery beaches.
8 of us (2 families of 4 w tweens) had an amazing trip to Tanzania this August. Shadows of Africa was wonderful for our private safari through the Serengeti. Especially loved the amini life lodge where we learned of Maasai tribe and slept in mid huts, and the opportunity to stay in tented camps. Zanzibar was a fabulous finish - relaxing on powdery beach, swimming w dolphins in the wild. Fabulous trip all around!

The most amazing experience of my life
Words cannot describe how amazing an experience this holiday was. Superb locations, the most hospitable people who are passionate at welcoming visitors and ensuring you have the best possible holiday. It was such a privilege to be able to see all that Tanzania had to offer. Can’t wait to come back in the future

spectacular safari with competent guide
positive: professional preparation, excellent guide with know how about animals and landscape but also about Tanzania's people and society, well chosen hotels in Arusha, Lake Manyara and in Central Serengeti, good food and drinks
not so positive: special needs for handicapped pax were not communicated to all hotels as required, a bit of hassle with the payment (but solved finally), one hotel on the rim of Ngorogoro was totally overpriced

Wonderful experience, an experience made that much better thanks to a great guide
Our primary reason for going to Tanzania was to visit the Serengeti, which included Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Oldupai Gorge and Ngorongoro. Our tour was through Kilidove Travel which provided a safari truck and driver (Jackson) for just the 2 of us. It was a fabulous trip and a lot of credit goes to our superb guide, Jackson, for the diligence with which he searched for the big-5.
The taxi driver we hired to get to Arusha and back was also very helpful. We paid him a bit extra and he took us all the way to Kilimanjaro National Park and showed us around.
The hotel in Arusha was excellent and the staff there treated us very, very well.
Overall, we have come back with a wonderful experience and opinion of the country and its people.

Amazing Experience!
Throughout the stay in Tanzania,the weather was extremely nice!
Only in Zanzibar there's a bit of rain al most every day at noon.
The temperature was around 20-30 degrees Celsius every day, very nice!
My favourite part of the trip was the Serengeti National Park,it was amazing!
We saw lots of animals there.(Lions,elephants,leopards,cheetahs,vultures...etc.)
It was also the first time I've lived in a tented camp.
Only you need to be very careful about your personal belongings.(I lost my passport case and ID card,not sure where I lost it...)
The driver was a very nice person, we loved our trip very much!
