Spectacular

5/5

The scenery was spectacular. Our driver and cook were both very accommodating on the safari. We felt very comfortable and were impressed by their amazing hospitality.
We saw the big 5 so we were very happy!

Beautiful, but overpriced.
Overall rating
4/5

I am of two minds regarding our safari trip. Beautiful nature, animals, but people’s attitude to tourists is awful. There wasn’t a day native people didn’t try to cheat on us and try to extort money. Even our tour guide. We bought the tour with Travel partner, can’t recommend it. The accommodation was perfect, but our tour guide was only driver, I don’t remember anything interesting he told us about wild life. Only obvious things like: look, it’s a giraffe, it’s very tall.

The wildlife was insane. Animals everywhere. The scenery is better than expected. Its taken straight out of David Attenborough documentary of the Serengeti savannah. Amazing. Tenting in Serengeti was a cool experience. We felt more in contact with the nature and wildlife. The food was soo munch better than expected. Freshly coocked breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.
Our guide was so good and nice. He sees these animals everyday, all year around but he still stopped everytime we saw something. He told about the animals and waited patiently for us to finish taking pictures or just enjoy the scenery. You could tell that he loved his job, the animals, the savannah and the whole Serengeti experience.

Tanzania is a hidden gem.

We travelled as a family of 2 adults and 4 children to Arusha. We did a 3 day safari with Bujo tours. The wildlife, scenery and overall experience were wonderful. We have been on safari in South Africa in the past. This was different in terms of scenery and wildlife, especially the birds. Ngorongoro crater is breathtaking.

We were lucky to see the Big 5 over our short safari. Our guide was excellent in identifying the best routes around the Serengeti.
Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience for my family.

Tanzania in the Rain
Overall rating
4/5

Make sure about the weather when you book a trip to Tanzania

We were wet every day on Kilimanjaro!
We were wet camping in Serengeti and Ngorongoro!
The wet roads really spoiled some of the game viewing and some roads were to wet to drive on

We booked a Safari tour with Crater Explorer on Safari Booking.
Exchanges where nice but only by WhatsApp, we didn't receive any receipt, anything confirming us the booking, but anyway, we thought it was quite normal in Tanzania.
Arrived in Arusha, the guy from Crater Explorer (Emanuel), ask us to pay the globally by cash a day before the safari without giving us any receipt (what is suspect).
Hopefully we were with a local Tanzanian at this time, who thought it was a scam.
And actually he was right! During the day the safari was very nice, we saw many animals, parks are extremely beautiful BUT for the accommodation it was the opposite of what we paid for. We were supposed to sleep in tents IN the park and actually we slept in a dirty lodge outside of the park, in a city center very noisy! We were very very disappointed, and we didn't get any refund, anything.
Just as advise, please verify safari agencies that you promote on your website, and make sure they do what they sell!

Fantastic
Overall rating
5/5

A fantastic experience. We booked 6 full days, but fortunately for us one day was cancelled (we hiked up Kilimandscharo instead), because it's hard to spend more than 5 days in the jeep just sitting all the time. Nice thing is to combine different parks, because the scenery is so different and it brings variety in the experience. Ngorongoro was unbearably our favorite. Don't miss it, especially if you are travelling with children. The concentration of different animal types is really high, so you'd probably see as many on one day as anywhere else on 2 or 3.
Our guide was just great, he spotted with bare eyes the animals we could hardly see through binoculars! A real professional! We were spending nights in the tent camps, and if you choose this option don't expect much hygiene in the washrooms... But the personnel there is friendly and the general atmosphere very amicable. We had one rainy day out of 6, it was tolerable. If it rained all the time, it would have been a really bad experience. I wouldn't recommend a safari during the rain season.
