Tanzania is a large country with a lot of beautiful scenery. Every park has it\'s own characteristics and is worth a visit. While many species can be found in multiple parks, combining multiple parks is a great way to see the animals in different surroundings. Arusha National Park has a different climat compared to Serengeti National Park but both are awesome.

Stunning scenery and wildlife, incredibly friendly and open locals
Traveling to Tanzania fulfilled a lifetime dream. We spent two weeks on safari, waking up early every day to fresh rich coffee and breakfast before heading out for a full day of wildlife viewing. We witnessed it all, sometimes just parked watching lions for an hour or more as they lounged about, played, ate. We saw baby elephants wallowing in mud holes, giraffe sauntering by or eating the tops of trees. We visited local villages and met with the most friendly and welcoming people, ate fresh delicious food at every meal, always served with fresh fruit. Our tour operator was Wildfinder Tours and Safaris, and they took care of everything from our first phone call to boarding our plane home. I would not hesitate to go back. As the saying goes, if you can only have two great vacations in your life, go back to Africa.

Very nice wild life and very African country
It’s important to be prepared for some challenges along the way. Roads can be rough, and getting a flat tire every now and then is quite normal. Public toilets outside the national parks are often just simple holes in the ground – there’s never toilet paper, so bring your own. Even inside the parks, where “Western-style” toilets are provided, many are poorly maintained.
Another thing to keep in mind is pricing. As a tourist, you will often be asked to pay much more than the local rate. Whether you decide to negotiate or just accept the difference depends on your own comfort level. Ordering food can also be a lesson in patience: a simple lunch might easily take an hour before

it arrives, but that’s just part of the local rhythm.If you prefer to stay fully in the “tourist bubble,” you’ll be more shielded from these aspects. But if you step outside it, you’ll experience both the challenges and the charm of everyday life in Tanzania. Either way, the incredible wildlife and landscapes more than make up for the occasional inconvenience.

Tanzania was the most Magical, Majestic, Amazing trip I’ve ever taken! ( I’ve traveled quite a bit)
Hamisi Abdul. STRONGLY RECOMMEND! He did an amazing job! So knowledgeable, and kind ! We seen so many animals! Elephants within arms reach, 🦁 lion standing outside my door!
1-2 week old baby elephant, 2 baby cub lion's. There was a beautiful leopard within a hour of setting out!
I took a private 4 day tour, that was exciting to see the next nights accommodations at the end of a magical day on our game drives !
I flew over to Zanzibar Island, and stayed 3 great nights ! We also stayed a weekend at a place about 2 hours outside of Dar, it was called the “Overhang “ that was a great place as well !
Food is not the greatest, it’s okay !
I managed to find plenty of good meals.
I never felt uncomfortable or unsafe at any time ! I’m a female, and traveled on my own.

from Arusha to the Serengeti, then Ngorongoro Crater, and two other parks !I could go on, and on !
It is well worth the long flight from USA to Tanzania Africa, and the cost of the trip! But well worth the money!
It was a trip of a lifetime ❣️❣️🦒🐘🦓🐆🦛 🦁

Scenic and unique
Coming from western culture, Tanzania was definitely a destination unbeknownst to me. First and foremost, the people that I came across were ever so friendly, seemed relaxed and calm and eager to help. They didn’t seem to have “an agenda” which is so common in western culture. Akuna Matata isn’t just a slogan - it’s their way of life! The highlight of my trip was a visit to a local school in Zanzibar in which I got to experience some of the educational culture. It was truly fascinating! Another highlight was the snorkeling experience nearby Mneba Island.
My tour operator - Plex Africa Safari - was very professional, accommodating and knowledgeable.
I would go back any time to experience Tanzania anytime!

Fell in love with Tanzania
Tanzania has the most diverse and beautiful nature. The nature sometimes seems out of this world for an european. I cannot recommend enough going to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, they are a must see. There wasn't so many tourists because of the low season in April. I would skip the extra Masaai tibe visit on a Safari tour. It was only an hour long, you don't really get to know the culture and they pressure you to buy things from the village. *Another con was the Ramadan. Without an arranged tour it was sometimes hard to find food, especially if you were in a more remote/non-touristic location. Also if you want to party there's nothing special during Ramadan. April wasn't too bad with the rain even tho it is the starting month of the rainy season. Over all people of Tanzania are funny, easy-going and kind, the nature and music are amazing and food is good.

2 day safari tarangire and ngorongoro
We had booked overnight a lodge near the lake but it was flooded so had to send us to alternative. Not their fault but disappointing. The driver was really knowledgeable and helpful but without being in your face. It was very long drive between parks but guess I should have investigated that before we booked. Saw so many different species including rhino's.

Amazing
Thanks to Safari Booking, we were able to find an incredible provider (See Endless Adventures) who organized an incredible 6-day trip to Tanzania (Safari + 1 day on Kilimanjaro). We have no words to describe the incredible adventure we experienced as a family, our two children, aged 5 and 8, and our friends and their children.
The national parks are magnificent, nature in its purest form and in all its splendor. We were able to observe all the animals we dreamed of (especially the Big 5!!) in a breathtaking setting, accompanied by extremely kind and incredibly professional professionals (guides, drivers, hotel staff).
We are avid travelers, but this trip truly left a lasting impression on us!

Beautiful country, people are very friendly, amazing wildlife.
Ours was a 7 day guided tour by Meru Slopes. We added 2 more days to see the local life in Arusha and nearby tribal villages. It was well worth it. I would highly recommend adding a few days to see the local life and greenery.
