African Safari Diaries: A sensational safari experience in Tanzania and relaxing break in Zanzibar

We booked with Somak through our local travel agent, Suitcase Travel. So glad as the complex itinerary ran so smoothly and to plan. Everything was taken care of by Somak during our stay and our Safari driver William Chinga was the best!

Whilst on safari we stayed at 3 different lodges over 5 nights: Tarangire, Karatu & Serengeti Simba lodges. When asking the family our favourites were Serengeti Lodge, for the views, pool and overall experience and close second Tarangire as the elephants and other animals were a great addition to the pool side 🙂

We were so happy to see the Big 5 during our time on safari as well as many other animals but so difficult to name highlights as it felt like the whole experience was a huge highlight!

We were pleased we took binoculars with us for spotting leopards in the trees and get a closer look at the animals. Be prepared for long days with lots of time in the jeep, but every minute worth while for the amazing memories and experience.
