A marvellous vacation that exceeded expectations in all areas! Most memorable was the incredible wildlife in both Selous and Ruaha national Parks, plus the coral reefs we saw around Mafia Island - truly spectacular. Lack of other tourists was a major plus. (more)Liz Taylor

Everything was wonderful. The setting perhaps captures most of it - staying in beautiful places in the midst of the national parks and conservation areas, where the animals were everywhere (from in camp to close by during game drives). (more)Laura Dukess

Memorable parts? The amount of animals we saw on safari. Tips? Avoid the Serena Serengeti hotel, not the best, service bad, food bad and rooms a bit shabby. Local benefits? No Overall rating? Brilliant - 9 out of 10. (more)Joanne Longhurst

Memorable parts? Seeing the great migration, thousands of wildebeest crossing a river while making a "snoring" sound. We stayed their watching them for several hours. Wonderful. Tips? Think about the fact that you want to go camping or prefer staying in a lodge. The bathroom-facilities on the camping sites are basic. Local benefits? Our guide was really concerned with respecting the natural habits and behaviours of the animals and he always put this before trying to fulfil... (more)Suzy Mentens

Develop a good relationship with your guide, they are invaluable at spotting wildlife and know where to look. We... (more)Penny Goff

Memorable parts? I really liked the wildlife diversity that Tanzania Parks can offer. Especially in some areas, it was great to be able to be so close to the wild animals. Tips? I would have spent more time in Serengeti National Park, because of the vast area I believe I didn’t take the most of it…I stayed just one night. I would reccomend at least one night tented camp experience. Local benefits? Benefits to local people – Yes. Most of the camps use locals as employees. Reduced... (more)Luis Boavida

Memorable parts? My son and I climbed two mountains respectively in Kenya and Tanzania. The Mt Kenya climb was organised by Kenya Treks and the Mt Kilimanjaro one by Kandoo, both organisations were very professional in all aspects of the climbs. The most existing part of the trips was to see how each teams was proud to show their mountain, also I was extremely touched by Kandoo team who made sure that my son would have a birthday cake at over 4000 meters altitude, that was very special!...

It was great - we felt like we’d been away for ages and had so many adventures. (more)Joanna Chambers

The wildlife - both on safari and in the marine park was amazing. The animals are just going about their day and you're watching the whole show unfold in front of you. Every hour was an amazing adventure for the whole family. (more)Deirdre Kloski

Outstanding and exceeded all expectations (more)Nick Pugh

Memorable parts? Going out every day on a game drive or boat not knowing if or what you may see. Also we enjoyed speaking to the Maasai that escorted us back and forth to our lodge - we will never have the chance to have the insight into their world again. Tips? We found that the all day drive gave us the best opportunity for seeing the animals. Also we didn't expect the days to be so planned out but it worked really well. Local benefits? Yes. Overall rating? Excellent... (more)Tim Ferris

Fabulous experience to travel with the children. (more)Luciano Casanova

Memorable parts? Safari in Tanzania and hot air balloon. Tips? Ensure lodges do and local partners do have sustainable practices in place before you go (employee wages, waste management, etc) Local benefits? Partially. Some lodges were more aware than others of use of plastic, water conservation, etc. Our Tanzania operator was much more sophisticated in its environmental practices than our Uganda experience, where it was close to null. In Uganda, neither the lodge nor the... (more)Camila Wills
