Unforgettable honeymoon experience in Tanzania with Jiwe adventures

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5
We spent our honeymoon in Tanzania during and made an 8-day Safari with Jiwe adventures. It was an outstanding and very unique experience which we will never forget! Our trip went from Arusha to Tarangire National Park (2 nights), to Lake Manyara (1 night), to Central Serengeti (2 nights), to South Serengeti/Lake Ndutu (1 night), to Ngorongoro (1 night) and back to Arusha. If you want to make a shorter trip, we recommend to skip Lake Manyara, all other places should not be missed!
Each stop was very different from the other with new highlights every day. We had wonderful lodges and especially recommend Lemala (Tarangire), Ndutu (South Serengeti) and Kubu Kubu (Serengeti). All of them had great views into the endless African wilderness with Zebra & Co. visiting us at the balcony, luxury accommodation, fantastic food as well as very friendly staff. Our driver Chris was super! He drove us to breathtaking places, made us see the big five (finally the rhinos on our last day in Ngorongoro
Read more crater), served delicious lunch every day and did not get tired of answering our countless questions from African animal behavior to Tanzanian economy and Massai traditions :) Thanks again Chris, we hope to see you again one day!

Overpriced and overrated

2 / 5 2 /5

absolutely, the great migration is a spectacle you must see at least once. But other than that, I found Tanzania to be mostly disappointing. Not so much what we all saw, but more the overall experience. If you keep in mind that you are visiting the most expensive national parks in the world, you expect something in return. In the Serengeti, for example, I think the roads were extremely bad. We did 10 days of full day safaris, which at the end I almost couldn't last because of the back pain. The rest camps are completely worthless and unpleasant. Again, for the most expensive national parks in the world you can really expect more. The distances between our sightings were often enormous. Everyone drives through the Serengeti at unprecedented speed to make sure you don't miss a lion that is then sitting 200 meters off the road... And which you are watching with 70 other cars... Guides do not behave professionally, push the animals too much and the tourists are also 'once in
Read more a lifetime safari poop', which you can see from their behavior. It is often noisy during sightings and I found it difficult to enjoy it. All in all disappointing, not value for money and the safaris were not romantic and relaxing as I often feel in private parks.

Itinerary not well structured. Too many hours and days lost driving from place to place on roads that can only be described as horrible.

Our Tanzanian safari with the company Safari Soles was better than we could imagine. We visited the Tarangire NP Southern Serengeti NP and the Ngorongoro crater. The wildlife in al parks was stunning and we had little difficulty ticking off the big 5 and so much more.
Whilst in Tanzania we found the people to be kind and helpful at all times.
I would highly recommend Tanzania as a Safari gem and our tour company Safari Soles with Simon our excellent guide knew how to promote Tanzania to its best. Thank you.

I went with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris on a 3 weeks holiday. Kilimanjaro was a great adventure with amazing nature and very cool places. The safari in Serengeti is like a movie. So much animals. Nogorocrater is a very cool place also. Zanzibar is a nice island. But i prefer the safari and mountain. But beaches are of course also very nice.

3 days full of activities; we were able to see all the big five! Suricata safari gives us also the possibility to stay in the hotel the last day, having a shower, before going to the airport, completely free. The best chef , very good food and we are italians. Best price and high quality

So much to see, to learn, to discover- pure joy

We did two days trip with one sleepover in Arusha. The first day when we arrived from Zanzibar we went to Tarangire National Park. We loved our experience, the scenery, the wild life - everything was amazing- our guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we were always safe and well informed. We were lucky to see lion family with two cubs, giraffes, buffaloes, monkeys and many elephants. The whole experience was incredible. After a night in Arusha we went to Kilimanjaro- we did foothills and we went to Materuni Waterfalls and village where we learned about coffee plantation and peoples life. Altogether we had memorable and amazing time.

Our first time on safari but not our first time in Tanzania … we keep coming back because the people are so fantastic but this time with a four day safari it was epic … we started in Dodoma did Tarangiri, then Ngorongoro finishing with the Serengeti before being dropped off in Musoma … our guide Moses was amazing, the eyes of a hawk so we saw just about everything we could have hoped for from lions and their cubs, to cheetahs a few metres away to hyaena on a lion kill and the most fantastic birds and views you could wish for … thanks safari bookings for providing the links to find our safari company
