Magnificent Nature and wildlife

The parks the animals the camps are amazing! We were so lucky and the weather was amazing! The most important point for Tanzania is the nature and the wild animals! But the most downsize thing are the street and beach hawkers all over areas where tourists are! They do not let people enjoy their vacation as they permanently asking for money and want to give them their services which are non existent. I was in Namibia and this was lasting hawkers there were 90% less there!

Country blessed with great open grasslands, rugged natural beauty and abundance of wildlife

Tanzania was very welcoming for tourists. The wildlife tour operators seem very well regulated and self disciplined - we went with Savannah Explorers who were very professional and supportive ( thanks, Sultan!) - right from making a bespoke tour for us to supporting me with delivering my lost transit luggage into jungle camps, to providing us with exotic camps and wildlife sightings. The tour guide cum driver Felix was very experienced and unerringly took us to those exact locations from where the best possible view of various animals was available. We saw all the big five and the unforgettable wildebeest crossing Mara river. We saw fresh kills as well as hunts by lions and leopard.
We also had a great experience with the Miracle balloon ride in Serengeti with Captain Geert who skilfully piloted the balloon and kept us entertained with anecdotes. From the balloon you can really appreciate the vastness of the Serengeti endless plains.
I also have to appreciate the Masaai who
Read more were guarding the KonTiki camps and their friendliness as well as their amazing leap dances. the officers manning the transit border areas as well as the Sanctuary gates were all very cooperative and welcomed you with a smile and Jambo!
All in all a brilliant experience where we ticked all the boxes of our objectives. Well done Tanzania!

Astonishing

We had a 6 day safari at Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara in August 2024, saw all the Big 5 and many other animals at a very close distance, the scenery was amazing, the weather ideal (not hot but not too cold either), totally safe experience, 100% recommend it. Could have skipped lake Manyara though, since there were very few animals and a significant part of the district was unapproachable .

Our trip was incredible especially our guide, Godlove who was with
safari 360. He was so informative and helpful through out the whole 9 days. We saw so many animals who Godlove always saw first.
The accommodation was excellent and all the staff were super helpful . Tented accommodation was excellent. Loved every minute
of it. Got used to the really rough roads after a few days. But that was to be expected.

Tanzania is captivating. Went to Kilimanjaro and the sunrise at the summit is the must beautiful I have seen. The safaris are magical, you get to see all these wild animals in their hábitat. the beaches in Zanzibar are the cherry on top.

We had a great safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and lake Manyara. We saw loads of wildlife, including the big five and beautiful landscape. People were very nice and our guide and people in lodges made enormous efforts to ensure the best experience possible.

Zanzibar and Tanzania, come, see and lose e all Your illusions

2 / 5 2 /5
5 / 5 3 / 5 2 / 5 3 / 5
We booked for Zanzibar with 5 days Safari on the mainland (Tanzania). The first thing that we negatively noted was that Zanzibar, outside of the resort, as an Island is very dirty. I was brought up with the saying: If Your poor then at least be clean.
The people of Zanzibar that we met stem mostly from the Mainland Tanzania, they are very friendly, helpful and kind. That is the only really positive point, and in that a very noteworthy one. The organiser of the safari was at all time reachable, kind, efficient and its organisation fine. A light in the dark.
Zanzibar was as dirty as a Garbage dump except the airport and the hotel area. The mainland was far better, but then it has not much to show for.
Then, the different day tours where expensive for what was given, mostly not worth to participate. A 1-day safari to the main land will cover all the tours with exception of the swimming with the turtles.
If You go to Stonetown, don’t expect anything and even then,
Read more you will be disappointed!
Serengeti, the high grail of a national parks is very disappointing nonetheless You can see the Lyons and other animals, however You have to prepare for a lot of dust. The drivers call each other where for example a Lyon is and then 30 to 40 Jeeps rally to this point, creating a traffic jam in the middle of nowhere and leaving everybody covered in dust. All the other parks where ok, but Serengeti was a big disappointment, here Tanzania markets its animals worse than in a zoo.
One must have seen Zanzibar and Tanzania to lose one owns illusions. Once in a life time is enough.

A trip to Tanzania truly is a trip of a lifetime

5 / 5 5 /5

Tanzania is a place where you feel most welcome the minute you step onto its African soil. The people are abundant in their warmth and are quick to let small talk turn into real conversations about their lives and families. The guides and the government show great care in how they manage the national parks, and it is evident in the conditions as you travel throughout these vast and diverse regions. I came to see the many animals of this land; but what I really saw was a place that needs to be felt and touched by shaking the dust off of your hat and feeling the winds blow across your neck - the adventure is so much more than what a safari might look like on the internet. From the shores of Zanzibar to the openness of the Serengeti; the land reaches into your heart and makes you realize that wherever you may be now, your true wish was that you were back there again. I truly thank the people of Tanzania, and my tour operator Ozon Light Tours for the memories and stories I'll have for my lifetime.
