Travel Review: Solo Africa Safari, Tanzania & Kenya, Serengeti, Masai Mara, Ngorongoro Crater, Hot Air Balloon Tour

I'd probably skip Tanzania all together and visit more of Kenya. The 2 areas of the Serengeti that I visited (Seronera and I forget the other) felt disappointing as all sightings were accompanied with huge crowds of vehicles, an abundance of tsete flies, as well as frequent sections of the park that were literally on fire (intentionally set by rangers apparently). Also Tarangire didn't feel like one of the most lively parks in Eastern Africa.

Whichever way you go, stick to flying. Long drives on dirt roads in the hot Africa sun (that I fortunately did in Tanzania only) are exhausting.

Lastly, skip the village "culture" visits unless you're interested in seeing a group of disinterested people put on a dance and then aggressively try to sell you beads.
