My wife and I haven't spent much time in Tanzania, so I picked up this 2-day hike + safari package - and honestly, it was the highlight of our trip.
The first day walking the Kilimanjaro Light Trail to reach the Maundi Crater - mind-blowing in a word! And the next day I saw lions, elephants, giraffes in Tarangire National Park in front of my eyes. The guide was very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Everything is on time and hassle-free.
In my opinion, perfect for those who do not want to walk more, or have less time!
Go deep into the wildlands of Tanzania for an unforgettable safari adventure. Led by a highly experienced safari guide, who knows all the best animal-watching spots, you’ll scour the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater for lions, leopards and wildebeest, watch elephants in Tarangire, meet hunter-gather tribes, interact with the Masai people and visit the ‘cradle of humankind’. And for the ultimate safari experience, we spend two nights camping in the Serengeti plains.
