2、afari and a stay on Zanzibar.Ive started looking for a safari, but it seems rather difficult. Ive already sent e-mails to different operators in order to get some information (and prices) and have received many replies. Some offer safaris at a reasonable price, others are rather expensive. Im especi

However, when looking up the different operators on the internet, I always find positive, but also many negative comments So I find it really difficult to decide which operator to choseDoes anyone have any suggestions on a reliable and budget-friendly

4、 operator? We would like to start our safari in Moshi or Arusha and do a safari of 6 or 7 days, and would like to visit Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and if there is any time left also the Tarangire National Park. Since we do not have a big budget, we wi

5、ll chose a budget camping safari. But if this is possible within a certain budget, I would prefer to do a combination of for instance 3 or 4 nights camping and 2 nights in a lodge or a tented campDoes anyone have any suggestions on good operators which offer such safaris? If so, please let me know!A

6、nd can you recommend a hotel in Arusha or Moshi as well?Thank you!Liesvd iceandrockgirl 08-Feb-2011 07:07Posts:  3····1HiI went on a Safari with Big Expeditions out of Arusha. I stayed at the Arusha Hotel.I only wanted a one day safari to see Ngorogoro. I noticed that the mo

11、eally a trip of a life time. Here's a brief outline of the three week trip, which was two weeks of safari and one week in Zanzibar. 1. Hiked to the first base camp of Mt. Kiliminjaro (we decided to forgo going to the summit because we would miss out other stuff, and we were not disappointed by t

12、his decision in the least).2. Arusha National Park3. Tarangire4. Lake Manyara5. Lake Eyasi - here we followed the Hadzabe on their morning hunt.6. Ngorongoro Crater7. Empakai Crater - we camped on the rim and in the morning we hiked down to the crater base, returned to the rim, and then hiked to our

13、 next camp site in a forest of Acacia treas. Amazing.8. Hiked to Lake Natron9. Serengetti10. ZanzibarEvery day was better than the previous. I think one thing people might be surprised about, certainly I was, is the cost. It's expensive to travel in Tanzania and once we got their we completely u

14、nderstood why - there are lots of logistics, lots of driving and there aren't a lot of budget friendly and nice accommodations. There is high end and low end and not a lot in between. We spent more on accommodations than we would in the US and not always equivalent quality but always comfortable

15、. Also, depending on the company use and time, some operators might suggest using internal flights to get from one national park to another. These internal flights are expensive. For example flying from Ndutu (Serengetti) to Zanzibar is $500 USD/person. Also, the fees for the national park are high.

16、 For example, one day in Mt. Kiliminjaro is $120 USD/person for the day (not 24 hours; Mt Kili is the most expensive park). So the more parks you see the more it adds up but it's well worth it because the money assuming absolutely no corruption goes to pay for the conservation of an absolutely s

17、tunning array of animal and plant life. I do believe you get what you pay for.We used Restoration Safaris, a locally owned Tanzanian (Arusha based) small business. It is operated by Bariki Laiser. He's phenomenal and made our experience what it was, amazing. One thing we learned is that most saf

18、ari operators are foreign owned like Thompson is American, Maasai Wanderings is French etc. And while they use locals to support their business, clearly not all the money stays in Tanzania. Not everyone cares about this but it's something we cared about which led us to use Bariki. Bariki is pass

20、ision tsesung 08-Feb-2011 07:53Posts:  13····5One more thought about the post on Leopard Tours. They are a massive company which is why you see tons of Leopard jeeps all around. They also have booths in some lodges to capture last minute folks. I didn't use them so I can

The warning from the poster was that they did not obey any of the park rules, drove off track, the driver did not know much about the animals etc.I am not going to recommend any particular c

27、ompany - just do some more searching - send emails, ask questions - ask for references. Then decide who is the best. If the company will not provide answers to your questions do not use them. mike_h rdesibi 09-Feb-2011 21:34Posts:  35····12As I said many times on this forum

28、I had safari twice with Kori Adventure () and sent some friends.

31、r seems to get a mention on here is Ranger Safaris. My partner and I and the others in our group (6 in all) have nothing but praise for them. They were second to none.They don't take walk in bookings you must do it in advance. In my experience you get what you pay for and Ranger Safaris hit all

39、y recommend adding the Serengeti - the landscape is very different than the other parks (one of the nice things about the northern parks is that each park has its own distinct landscape). I did the trip described above in 2007. I used a budget operator based in Moshi. We stayed in Sopa Lodges and Wi

40、ldlife Lodges and the prices were quite reasonable because we put 3 people in one room. Back then we paid about $1225 per person. I suspect that even a budget camping trip might cost that much now. Send me a PM if you want info on the budget operator that we used.Also, smartcookiee is not a tout - h

45、 I would like to post my "planned" root and ask for your opinion, advice, experience concerning the route that follows:I have no car and my funds are somehow limited as I am only a volunteer.that means I will only choose public transport and mainly cheap accomodation & food supply (I o

Is harare worth staying a little while? How is the situation for tourists in this land?.Now comes the hardest part, where I am

50、 absolutely unsure:3. Week: The latest Wednesday I'd like to start travelling over the Tete-Corridor of Mozambique up to Blantyre in MalawiAbout Mozambique I am absolutely not concerned with: a) Security situation.seems a very poor country, they are speaking portugese there, right?b) Visacosts.e

51、verywhere I have searched it dramatically differs between 9$ (transit) up to 82$ (somehow a new regulation?!). I want to pass borders to Mozambique at Nyamapanda!c) If visacosts aren't too low maybe it's worth staying at least one night in Tete? At the Sambesi-river? Are there accomodations?

52、 Can I continue travelling from there up to malawi easily ?Entering malawi at "Mwanza", as a german citizen I don't need any kind of Visa as far as i know.I hope to arrive on Friday in Blantyre. From there i plan to search for a boat to cross the Malawi-Lake up to Mbamba Bay in Tanzani

53、a! I have heared about 2 possibilities: eather at Monkey bay with the Ms Ilala, whereby it's somehow unsure if the ferry will stop at Tanzania or at Nkhata Bay where there seems to be a ferry called MS Songea or some guys who are willing to give you a ride with motorised dhows. If nothing works

54、I will just continue travelling north up to Mbeya in tanzania. So i will be the latest on Wednesday either in Mbeya or at Mbamba Bay Tanzania4. Week: The last week I would like to pass through the South of Tanzania . I hope by Thursday to arrive at Songea (either from Mbamba Bay or from Mbeya). Then

I also thought about passing a City south of Mtwara called Newala, but I am not quite sure if it's worth a look ;-) . From Mtwara I plan to travel to Kilwa Masoko along the Indian sea and to stay there (Monday+

56、Tuesday) and on Wednesday to arrive in Dar es Salaam where my journey will end. =)(Lateron i might return to Kigoma by train ;-)I know this is a pretty rough planning with many variables. in general ppl should not plan to mouch here in Africa but I'd like to use this month to full extend =)As yo

57、u see in some areas i left a few days open.these can be cutted in case i have much delay.also it's not a huge problem to extend by 3-4 days.but all together the journey should not be much longer than one month (about 30 days) !There are many questions open as you might see, i am very very thankf

I suggest that you will need a letter from your doctor (and probably a national health authority) that clearly states his medical condition. 2. If you are flying directly into Tanzania (Dar es Salaam, Kilimanjaro International, or Zanzibar via Nairobi) and will not be entering any country that is considered an "at risk" country you should be able to get into TZ. If there is an embassy
