The park is superb: a river, hills, baobab trees, acacia trees , many wildlife and especially few tourists compared to Serengeti or Ngorongoro.
We spent 10 days with Santos our driver and guide. He was safe, knowledgable, courteous and flexible. We thoroughly enjoyed our Serengeti, Ngongorogo, Manyara and Tarangire Safari because Santos showed us so many large and small animals. He consistently asked us if we wanted to stop for pictures. We often stopped to enjoy the lions and leopards for many times for over 20 minutes! He never rushed us. Husband and I were the only ones in the 7 passenger Toyota Landcruiser. Santos even stopped to tow another jeep stuck in the Serengeti. What a true gentleman! Ask for Santos.
