OFFER ID 1504006

Following your climb, indulge in some less-strenuous adventure on game drives in three of Tanzania's best parks, two of which are UNESCO-listed. At Lake Manyara watch for tree-climbing lions, then head to Ngorongoro Crater, a massive caldera teeming with wildlife. The Serengeti is well known for the world's largest and longest migration, where you may catch herds of wildebeest and zebra on the move. The Maasai people indigenous to the region warmly share their culture with you. Each night you will retire in comfort at exclusive deluxe safari camps.

Highlights:

  • Explore the most famous parks of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti on thrilling safaris
  • Discover off-the-radar parts of Serengeti, where few have traveled for over half a century
  • Meet the indigenous Maasai people of the Crater Highlands and witness their traditional customs

Important Trip Details:
This safari trip includes early morning and evening game drives in 4X4 vehicles on roads that can be bumpy and rugged. The walking distance is flexible but you should be prepared to walk on uneven and occasionally muddy terrain. No previous experience is required.
