Tanzania is a magical country which should be on everyone's bucket list.
The country is beautiful with incredible scenery and wildlife. Each day we were overwhelmed with the variety of animals and birdlife, and the guides were so knowledgeable. There is no rivalry between the companies, they all want the best experience for their guests and communicate via radios when one of the Big Five is spotted! We stayed at stunning lodges during our trip and the warmth and professionalism of the staff were way beyond many 5 star hotels in other parts of the world. To ensure your safety you are walked from and back to your lodge when dark which reminds you that there are wild animals around. When you open your blinds in the morning and discover a male baboon sitting on your veranda you know that this is not the run of the mill holiday!
We booked with Kojuu Safaris who arranged an amazing trip for us. Our guide Peter was outstanding

Disappointing
Then came the worst !!! We went in our car without repairing to the Lodge and soon to travel to the North Serengeti.
The guide drove like crazy, we saw several animals on the way, including a rhinoceros a few feet from our car, but he did not stop and said we would see lots of animals in Northern Serengeti in the following days !!! And got lost because he did not know the place !!! For five hours we were driving in circles and the guide didn't want to admit that he was lost. We arrived at the Lodge around 10:00 p.m. because we begged

him to ask for information from a car from a local company that passed by our car, luckily ours. We have to remember that it is totally forbidden to do excursions or safari at night and we were very lucky to have seen the headlights of this car!The next day, he didn't tell us that the car was broken and that we could not do the Safari. We communicated with the owner of Quest Horizon, who only then organized a new car and another guide. We missed the whole morning to go to Safari! The new guide only stayed with us that day and the other day another car was organized and a new guide arrived almost 2 hours late !! We lost almost 3 days of Safari and had lots of wear and stress.
The owner got us a flight to try to make up for so much lost time and we went to Lake Manyara which has practically no animal. It was the minimum that he could do!
We were very sad to lose so many days in such wonderful places in Central and North Serengeti.

A little disappointing.
The weather was very nice. Wildlife not as abundant as I expected but then it was the dry season. MY accommodations were NOT what I paid to have---I paid for a mid-range tented lodge and ended up in a tent on the ground and shorted one day stay in the Serengeti. MY agent took the money I paid (in advance) and did not make any hotel arrangements, no one day hike on Kilimanjaro nor did he provide any arrangements for the 2 day stay in Kenya for Amboseli National Park or the Park fees in Tanzania National Parks (3). This is at least $1,000 loss and time wasted. I actually had to spend a day filing a police report on [email protected] Nagol. This site needs to be shut down to prevent this scum from hurting other travelers and ruining the safari business in Tanzania. Most of the people were extremely nice in trying to help sort all of this out for me and make sure I saw what I came to see. I was in a group of 6 but it was a little stressful as the guide/driver never knew what to do with me. Please DO NOT advertise for this site. He is a crook

Went for the migration, out of this world, saw all the 3 big cats including cubs with them all. In Serengeti many large herds of elephants as well. Came away and had great photos of all the main animals and more, even a leopard tortoise. You can see my photos of the trip at www.flickr.com/photos/andy999

We managed to see the big 5 and flamingos which was on our bucket list of animals to see. The crater is magnificent especially viewing it from the rim and then once you reach the floor of the crater.

Classic game parks, but spoiled by too much industrial tourism.
The very names of the Tanzanian National Parks can fire the imagination! Serengeti... Ngorongoro.... However, while the wildlife viewing is superb, the experience is tainted by industrial tourism, poor facilities and outrageous entrance fees. Many times I have heard foreign visitors say they don't mind the high cost, as it is an investment in conservation. Unfortunately, there is little evidence of tourism dollars being directed towards conservation. That said, if one makes a little effort to avoid the crowds, the safari experience in Tanzania can be excellent.
Book an organised safari in advance!
The Serengeti and Ngorongoro are amazing parks. The best Leopard action I've ever had, and loads of other excellent animal and bird encounters. The campsites

are pretty good aswell. Prices are very high, as they are elsewhere in East Africa, compared with similar parks in southern Africa.Due to our visa predicament, we didn't have time to see anymore of Tanzania. I'd love to go back though, and go to Zanzibar and the Selous.

tanzanian safari
the weather was nice, few animals, lake manyara was empty didn't deserve the time past there, we didn't see nothing there, best park was Sirengetti. Sirengeti luxury tent was the best part of our safari with very welcomig stuff and friendly people. spotting animals was hard. just few of them. black rhino was so far and it was not allowed to go close. so you can see Rhino just with binocular. our driver was so pathetic and didn't like when we stop to take fotos.
