Amazing and vibrant country, full of surprises
We booked our Tanzania Safari trip with Paradise & Wilderness Group and Anouk; our consultant planned a dream trip for us. We had a 13-night, 12-day trip mainly focusing on the Northen circuit. Anouk catered to all our wishes and was awesome when it came to changes to the set itinerary. She was always there for us until the day of our trip, advising us and emailing us with all possible do´s and don´ts and reminding us of all the contact numbers etc. There were so many highlights it is hard to know where to start. There was our stay at Lake Natron, in a desert surrounded by volcanos, and with a sunrise walk with a Massai guide, over the salt-caked mudflats to photograph flamingos. The safari drives were punctuated by new, breath-taking wildlife sightings every few minutes, including so many lions that after 50 we lost count. A cheetah sighting by our Massai guide led to a day-long pursuit, ending in a spectacular Zebra kill. Mating lions and elephant filled our camera lenses to bursting point. Ngorongoro crater presented us with a Lost World of countless animals, enclosed in a 10km wide primaeval caldera. Here we chased black Rhino, but never came closer that a few hundred meters. There were the dusty drives through other-worldly landscapes of endless acacia trees and baobabs, punctuated by sightings of brightly dressed Massai tending their herds, carrying water over endless long miles, selling precious honey by the roadside, and children waving frantically, and enthusiastically practising their English. Our stay in the lodges presented us with hyenas calling in the dark night, directly outside our tent, water buffalo lurking, giraffe wandering unconcerned a few meters away and streams of baboons, young and old. All Africa Safari lodges were amazing, but especially Lake Natron and Ikhoma lodges were wonderful. The staff was extremely friendly and supportive, and all comforts were taken care off. There is not a single moment or experience we regret, the holiday has been just wonderful.

Tanzania have it all! not only wild animals/safari but great people, culture & nature!
Tanzania was a great option for the Safari tour! Wild life is rich & diverse, so we were able to see a lot of animals -really close!!- even when we did not go during the "migration season". November was a great month as high season is over and the parks are not full.. you get the chance to appreciate the nature in a more calm way and weather was great (around 23-26 C) and no rain as dry season was longer this year.
I highly recommend to do other "extra activities" to know more about the culture, people and nature. Our Tour operator (Zohar - really good ones!!) offered various activities that they organized with local communities so we were able to "get out of the turistic world" a little bit and enjoy more than the wildlife.
and we felt secure during ALL THE TRIP! not only in side the parks, but the "sense of community" that Tanzania's people have is spread everywhere! We got ONLY GREAT & WARM treat since the arrival to the airport until the end of the trip.

Unforgettable experience
We visited Tanzania in November, and it was a great choice! The weather was great, didn’t experience any rain during our week’s stay (just for few hours in the night). First we went to Ngorongo crater from Arusha, and we saw all the animals living there, including giraffes outside the crater, except the rhino! Temperature was really pleasant. After that we went to Zanzibar where we didn’t experience any rain again, temperatures were great. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

There is no other country in Africa that is this inviting and beautiful
I did the safari in Nyerere National Park. Long day, bumpy roads (African massage), but amazing. A lot of wildlife, was sad not to seen any rhinos. The guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about the both the flora and the fauna that surrounded us. If you're an American, be prepared to be surrounded by Europeans. I was travelling alone and in my truck there were 4 Russians and 2 Germans. Needless to say, there was not a lot of cross communication.
If you go to Tanzania, you have to go to Zanzibar. Amazing architecture, the spice market, great hotels and restaurants, and very welcoming people. If you are brave enough, take a motorcycle taxi. They all speak English and are good riders. Much faster than a dalladalla (local bus).
I will return - best country in Africa.

Stunning
Tanzania is well organized for tourism without being overly commercialized.
Clean toilets everywhere in the parks, convenient picnic spots and well organized tour operator.
Our operator, Lion King Safari was excellent.
Their communication was clear and prompt. Pricing and package were flexible and transparent.

This was a perfect up-close-and-personal visit with african wildlife!
We traveled Ngorogoro and Serengeti by Land Cruiser, and had a marvelous time viewing the wildlife. Great guide. Stunning land, amazing spirit of these animals. We felt safe and lucky to be where we were, at all times.

Tanzania has definitely stolen my heart. For sure I will return!
My daughter and I booked a safari through Kasaka Tours to Mikumi Park, starting from Dar. It was a great experience! The drive to the park is long and with very busy traffic but our driver Peter took so good care of us and was an excellent driver. We felt safe. The experience in the park was so incredible fantastic! It almost seemed as we were the only jeep on the stretched plains. Peter knew exactly where to go to see all these beautiful animals as the lion, elephant, hippo, giraffe, zebra, buffalos, monkeys and many impalas and so many more. The drinking pools were outstanding where all animals gathered at sunset. Our stay in Camp Bastian was like a fairytale. Beautiful. We also did the hike in Unzwanga National Park to Tanzania’s highest waterfall. A lovely hike up hill, but really good to do in the shadow of the immense trees. Nice guides who carried our lunch
