Great Northern Circuit Experience
David R. · Canada · 13 May 2026

The 6 Days Northern Circuit Safari was a fantastic way to see Tanzania's highlights. We explored Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and a bit of Serengeti. The wildlife viewing was excellent throughout, especially in the Crater. Our guide was very skilled at spotting animals. While everything was well-organized, we felt the pace could have been a little more relaxed in some areas. Still, a very worthwhile trip for seeing so much diverse wildlife. Looking forward to booking again for 2026!

Great Wildlife, but accommodation could be better
Sarah L. · Australia · 20 Jun 2026

Our 3 Days in Tarangire National Park were filled with incredible sights. We saw so many elephants, including large family groups, and the baobab trees are truly majestic. The park is beautiful and the wildlife viewing was top-notch. Our guide was very good at spotting animals and navigating the park. However, the lodge we stayed at for the two nights was a bit basic and not quite what we expected for the price. While the wildlife experience was 5-star, the lodging brought the overall rating down slightly. We enjoyed the park itself immensely and would recommend it, but perhaps look into different accommodation options if booking a similar package.

Fantastic Day Trip to Arusha National Park!
Ben C. · Germany · 04 Jun 2026

We took the 1 Day Arusha National Park Safari last week and it was a perfect escape from the city. Despite being a shorter trip, we saw a surprising amount of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, various antelopes, and lots of colorful birds. The highlight was definitely seeing Mount Meru in the background and enjoying the beautiful Momella Lakes. Our guide was friendly and efficient, making sure we maximized our time in the park. It's a great option for a day trip if you're staying in Arusha and want a taste of Tanzanian wildlife and stunning landscapes without committing to a longer safari. Highly recommend for a convenient and enjoyable experience.

Great Value Group Joining Safari Experience
Chloe & Ben · Canada · 20 Feb 2026

We opted for the 3 Days Tanzania Group Joining Safari and had a fantastic time. It was a wonderful way to meet other travelers and share the incredible experience. Our guide was excellent, making sure everyone in the group got great views of the wildlife. We saw so much, from giraffes gracefully browsing to hippos cooling off. The itinerary packed a lot in without feeling rushed. While it's a group tour, there was still ample personal space during game drives. Excellent value for money and a fun social dynamic. We’d do it again for a 2026 adventure.

Perfect Day Safari to Tarangire
Chloe D. · France · 27 May 2026

This 1 Day Tarangire Safari from Arusha was exactly what we needed! We were picked up promptly in a comfortable vehicle and driven to the park. Tarangire is famous for its elephants, and we weren't disappointed – we saw dozens, including some enormous bulls. The park itself is incredibly scenic with its iconic baobab trees creating a unique atmosphere. Our guide was fantastic, a real expert at spotting wildlife and explaining the park's ecology. It was a full day of amazing sightings and stunning views. A brilliant way to experience Tarangire if you're short on time. We felt it offered excellent value for a day trip.
