Travel stories

What an experience!

A few weeks ago, we set off for Zanzibar and Tanzania with Explore Tanzania for an unforgettable adventure. We started our trip with a few days in beautiful Zanzibar, followed by a week of safaris in Tarangire, Serengeti Ndutu, and the Ngorongoro Crater, before returning to Zanzibar to finish our trip in a relaxed atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful Fun Beach Resort in Zanzibar, but ultimately, it was all about the safaris, and that experience was even better than we’d hoped for. The tented camps and lodges in the heart of the national parks were incredibly spacious and luxurious. When we saw dozens of zebras next to our tent on our first evening and morning in Tarangire, we were amazed—what an experience! At other locations, too, we repeatedly saw zebras, monkeys, gazelles, exotic birds, baboons, and even a giraffe up close from our tent.

But the safaris were the absolute highlight. Not only did we see the Big Five, it felt like the Big Five Hundred! From the moment we entered Tarangire National Park, we saw dozens of wildebeest, elephants, zebras, giraffes, a cheetah, a leopard, and several lions, all within the first hour! And in the days that followed, we only surpassed that. We’ll also never forget the beautiful, diverse landscapes that changed every hour.

Finally, we’d like to thank our guide Simba (yes, that’s his real name!). Without him, we would never have seen so much natural beauty; he made our safari week truly unforgettable.

Many thanks to Explore Tanzania, and especially Ellen, who planned this special trip exactly according to our wishes. We will definitely recommend you!
Asante sana!
