Travelling from Arusha to Manyara Reserve seeing the change from town to rural, then completely wild Africa. Flying over Kilimanjaro was awsome too. Flying in hot air baloon over the Serenghetti national park was the highlight of our safari. The white beaches of Zanzibar and the spice farms there, they were all amazing! 5 am flying in a giant baloon over the Serenghetti
I am writing to offer some comments on our trip to Tanzania this year. I hope to help people, who like I did, are searching for answers to their concerns while they plan their trip. My wife and I did a Mt Kili climb and then followed with an 8 day safari. The whole trip was even better than we had envisioned. We chose Lipi Adventures as our Tour Operator based in Tanzania and Kenya and it worked out great to our dreams and expectation. The Director and the owner of Lipi Adventure and the Operations Manager were very good about answering all our emails as we made plans and he met with us 2 times during the trip to make sure everything was well. We started with the Kilimanjaro climb on the Marangu route. We had a team of 2 porters, a cook and a guide for just the 2 of us. Our guide, Amani, was very well organised and a great person to spend the day with. He told us a lot about life in...

HIV yes, it's rife in Africa but by far the biggest killer is Malaria, during my month there, I met many people suffering from it, it doesn't have to be a game of chance if you take care and protect yourself properly.Ensure your accommodation supplies mosquito nets or take one along with you, it's the difference not only to a peaceful nights rest but an aid to ensure you are not one of the unfortunates that contract malaria. Plenty of insect repellent and anti malarial tablets.IT TAKES JUST ONE BITE! Take the precautions, they are simple and effective.
This was one of our “let’s splurge a little bit” trips, and one of our indulgences was having our own guide for the safari part of it. We arranged this (and indeed our whole holiday) through Zanzibar Travel, a small specialist company. They booked our accommodation and internal transport (safari vehicle in Tanzania and flight to Zanzibar afterwards), and our guide for the week on safari, Reginald.Having Reginald was great. Travelling with the same guide for the week meant that we got to know each other. He learned what we enjoyed seeing and doing, and was able to make good suggestions about where we might stop (e.g. the visit to a local school – see my local customs tip). And on several evenings we chatted with him over a beer and were able to plan what we would do the next day. Being just the two of us, we didn’t need to accommodate anyone else’s wishes either, so if we wanted to stay...

Hi, have been living for sometime in kenya and Tanzania. Of course now I would go always off the crowded roads... I would not go to Tanzibar nor serengeti or nogoro ngoro. Coming from Europe I would always look for somewhere not crowded, easygoing and peacefull. Zanzibar was just that, now if you are on the beach you get annoyed by beachboys selling crafts or sailing trips or..more. on the streets other people selling other stuff. Serengeti now has double day entrance fee. That is for the privilege of queing to see a lion behind few cars ahead of you. I would rather tend for the 'south circuit' not much known and incredibly beautiful and cheap. Selus game reserve for example is the largest park of all, with the largest number of elephants and all the game and no traffic, no cars, few lodges cheap and expensive, possibility to camp and cheap entrance fee. Beah wise, not far from the Selus...
