The Tanzania Safari is incredible - we saw such a huge variety of animals so close up, all thanks to the expertise of our guide who went above and beyond to ensure we had the most amazing experience.

This tour is fast-paced but if you're up for it it's absolutely worth it. We had the chance to see and do so much. The optional excursions were great. Both our tour guide and driver were very nice and knowledgable. I will definitely be looking forward to my next expat explore tour.
