Think about passive prevention! Trust in my experience –
I have never had malaria or travellers’ diarrhoea!

Electricity current - 240 volts and UK sockets! Remember to bring an adapter

So you want to see animals and beautiful countryside? Below is a list of a large
number of Tanzania's parks and reserves, with comments for each one. Given that the
choice of park is made depending on its location, the season, weather and the region's
characteristics, I did not want to put lots of text that would not be read, but rather
I wanted to meet your needs according to your choices of time and place. I await your
messages giving me your planned or desired arrival date, your holiday dates, number
of people in your party and an idea of your budget. With this information,
I will send you a truly wonderful itinerary.

As for the Safaris - wow! Pricey! However, I've found a good-value formula, depending
on what you want. Read "my advice". In any case, I have contacts for you with
the best quality/price deal!

Personally as photographer, I like Serengeti, but parks like the Manyara Lake
or N'Gorongoro crater, still Ruaha are absolutely have to see

Why are safaris expensive? click here Personally, as a photographer, I love the
Serengeti but parks like Lake Manyara or N'Gorongoro or even Ruaha have
their own characteristics, and interest in them is justified.

This is what I do not like to see in parks!

This is a reason why I have createdwww.voyages-aventures-afrique.net
It takes all sorts to make a world! Personally, I do not want to go with these

Tanzania has more than a dozen national parks (not including game
shooting reserves) and hundreds of species of wild animals.

You will not find Selous park, for many reasons - animal hunting area, it is too hot
(even at night), it is too expensive etc. For far less money, it is better to go to
Mikumi, then Ruaha which I find the most peaceful, beautiful and least
expensive of Tanzanian parks. This is obviously a very personal opinion but
sensible all the same :o)

Serengeti

Serengeti national park: the biggest park in Tanzania (14,750 km²) provides very
beautiful scenery of plains stretching as far as the eye can see, and very varied wildlife.
Here you can also see the world's largest herd of gnus, and the "great migration".
