Please pave a way of road from Ngogorogor to Serengeti, where was terrible road condition of unpaved way, which will increase number of traveller incoming.

An incredible trip to Tanzania
My wife and I always wanted to take a safari to see African animals in their natural habitats. After extensive research to determine whether we go to Botswana, Kenya, South Africa or Zambia, we decided Tanzania had the largest concentration of animals in all of Africa in the smallest geographic area, it was easy to decide on Tanzania. We then researched safari tours of all types, and again, comparing many different companies' offerings, we determined that the tour offered by Lion King had an excellent 8 day itinerary which not only included lots of animal watching, also included nightly stays at tent lodges that were all amazing. We booked the tour, and went in January, when the temperatures are cool. Everything that the tour promised was exactly what was delivered. The safari was incredible. The tent lodges were like 5 star hotels with incredible views. Our tour guide and driver, in a very comfortable Toyota Land Cruiser, was could not have been more friendly and knowledgeable of where the animals would be. My wife and I are in our 70's, and we had no problems with this trip. The people of Tanzania, without exception, were kind, caring and wonderful to be with. Eight days of sunny days with about a 70 degree high. What are you waiting for? Go to Tanzania and have an experience you and your spouse, friends or kids, will never forget.

Tanzania is a Country of Many6 Contrasts
I ventured to Tanzania to work with a NGO and develop a proposal to help build sustainable food security for women and youth.
The countryside is impressive as is the work ethic of the people. I was especially intrigued by the customs and the value placed in livestock ownership.
I toured most of the country and am fascinated by its true potential to become a major African nation.
Travellers should bring an extra article of clothing to leave behind. It will be really appreciated by a recipient.

Gentle, charming, authentic.
We had four stops in Tanzania: two nights in Dar es Salaam, two nights in Stonetown, three nights in the Nyerere game reserve, and three nights in Paje. They added up to a fascinatingly varied experience. Tanzania, as we had been warned, is a poor country but with almost no violence or aggression. We did not have contact with anyone who was not friendly or helpful. There was none of the persistent and aggressive begging we encountered in Nairobi. Western observers might think that Tanzanians could do more to help themselves, by clearing up the mountains of litter everywhere, for instance, but their society seems to work for them. All four of the hotels we stayed in had very high standards and were immaculately run. They were very much part of the positive experience. The weather (and even the seawater - a big plus in my eyes) was intensely hot but somehow that was part of the overall picture. I cant speak more highly than to say that we are already looking at flight schedules to see if we can return at the same time next year.

Amazing
We had the "4-Day Midrange Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari". It was all in all amazing. We were taken good care of from the beginning to the end.
We saw a lot of animals and even rare ones. Our safari driver, Hassan, was really nice, took his time and understood what we wanted to see etc. Also, full of knowledge and could answer all our questions.
All the accommodations were great.
We were very happy with going in February because it is not high season, so not that many safari cars around as in the high season (June-Sept).

A beautiful country with stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife, and welcoming people.
What a wonderful experience! We spent 7 days in the bush and 5 on Zanzibar island. The national parks in Tanzania were amazing and each brought a special aspect to our overall safari experience. We went to Tarangire, the Serengeti & Ikona Wildlife area, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara with a professional driver/guide. We were fortunate to see so many animals (Big 5) in their natural habitat. The camps were comfortable and took "glamping" to the next level! The hospitality was evident throughout and safety was always strictly adhered to.
Travel within country was easy but their systems are still a bit behind as everyone on our flight experienced delayed luggage upon arrival to Zanzibar.
The beach resort allowed use to recoup after the safari and provided a relaxed setting. Recommend you take small us dollars for tips, mosquito repellent (40%deet), and sunscreen.

Awesome low budget in the middl of nature with a huge amount of animals
Tanzania Luxury Safari with the Operator Noel and our guide Fredie was amazing. We saw 6 of 6 rhinos living in the Ngorongoro crater what was so stunning. Our tour was characterized by many species near to our vehicle. Sleeped near to buffalos and enjoined the awesome fresh food from the cook

Totally worth the visit
We were in Tanzania for one week which included a 5 day safari with Safari Soles. It turned out to be a trip of a lifetime. Our tour guide, Simon, was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We saw a huge range of wildlife up close, inclusive of exotic birds. We also visited other attractions including a coffee farm at the foot of Kilimanjaro.
The facilities and food were great across the trip.

Incredible
I did a 4day Safari plus Zanzibar tour with Colours of Africa. My experience with them was awesome. I did a budget safari so we stayed on campsites for a few days. Everything was provided and our safari guide Hassan was very accommodating and informative. A highlight as well was the cook who accompanied us and provided 3 meals a day . We got to see The Big 5 and so much more. We where able to get up close with much of the wildlife. I traveled solo , so the Budget Safari was a great option and it was nice to meet up with other travelers on the tour as opposed to a private one. Be warned though this is not Glamping and Tanzania is still a developing nation so do some research and come prepared.
