Your itinerary will take you to three of Tanzania’s most famous wildlife locations; Lake Manyara, The Ngorongoro Highlands and The Serengeti, just in time to witness the spectacle of more than a million Wildebeest. Our Tanzania safaris are all private departures. Your group will have an exclusive use of a safari vehicle with your own dedicated English speaking driver/guide. Each vehicle offers window seats for five people and is fitted with “pop up” roof hatches for better visibility and photography when game viewing.
