The great parks of east Africa — the Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Bwindi and Volcanoes National Park, offer a unique and overwhelming wildlife safari experience that is simply unequaled.
The Maasai Mara and Serengeti are arguably the most famous game parks in the world, and home to the greatest wildlife migration on earth. Millions of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles cross crocodile-infested rivers and are tracked by lions, leopards and cheetahs in a spectacle of survival to reach greener pastures.
Experience two rare opportunities to come into close quarters with a gorilla families and visit Dian Fossey’s grave. Queen Elizabeth National Park is known for its superb birding, tree-climbing lions, and the rare shoebill. Meet with Pygmies, the shortest people on earth, and the fiercely proud and traditional Maasai.
Our views of Ngorongoro Crater will simply be unforgettable. The crater is home to over 20,000 large animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos. Visit a chimpanzee sanctuary on Lake Victoria’s, Ngamba Island to see chimps up close.
Tarangire’s open savannah with it’s primeval baobab trees is filled with roaming herds of elephants and an impressive array of predators.
Our safari concludes in Arusha — Kilimanjaro Airport. On a clear day, you will be sent off with magnificent views of Africa’s highest mountain. |
