What people love about Wildlife Tours in Tanzania
- 11 Days Tanzania Wildlife Cultural Safari*
We highly recommend Zara Tours, we had an amazing time with Tarimo our guide for our private 6 day safari tour Serengeti and Ngorongoro. He was very knowledgeable about all the places that we visited and great company. He made sure that we saw almost all of the animals in their natural habitats including all the big 5. We took up all our accommodations from Zara properties and they are simply amazing! We had an amazing time in Tanzania with Zara Tours and they are highly recommended
- Tanzania Wildlife Experience Safari
We did a 6 day Safari with Migration Ventures to Serengeti, Lake Victoria - Rubondo and Saanane. We found our guide waiting for us when we landed in Mwanza. We started in the small island of Saanane off Mwanza in Lake Victoria enjoying the sights of hippos and crocodiles in the water and small game in the park. The following day took us to Rubondo which is another very beautiful place with few visitors so we had the whole place to ourselves. We then flew to central Serengeti and following the wildebeest to Ndutu and had an amazing time. Migration Venture Africa organized an itinerary just the way we wanted making us very happy. They are a great company and we'll organize another tour to the South with them later in the year.
Unforgettable Safari & Zanzibar Adventure! This trip was beyond incredible! From spotting the Big 5 in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara to witnessing the Great Migration, every moment felt surreal. Our guide, Medison, was amazing—his experience made the trip seamless. The lodges were great, and Zanzibar was the perfect beach escape after days of adventure. ✅ Go with an expert guide—it makes all the difference. ✅ Be ready for long drives—the landscapes are worth it. ✅ Zanzibar is a must—the perfect way to end the trip. Would book again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!
