Trip Date: Nov 4 - 12, 2024

No. of days: 9

Trip Style: Live Well Experience

The name Tanzania conjures up images of wildebeest stampeding across vast savannah, rainforests teeming with monkeys and birdlife, and great plains brimming with legions of game. All of these natural wonders and more are on offer in this exceptionally diverse African nation. Visitors typically visit Tanzania to partake in at least one of the four well known Tanzanian tourist experiences: a relaxing seaside vacation on the picturesque island paradise of Zanzibar, an underwater tour of some of the world’s most renowned dive sites around the gorgeous Spice Islands, a safari adventure in some of Africa’s most impressive game reserves, or a hiking excursion around Mount Kilimanjaro National Park.

Tanzania is one of the ultimate safari locations and home to many large and ecologically significant wildlife parks, including the famous Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park in the north. This 8-nights, 9-days adventure will start upon your arrival in Kilimanjaro Airport where you will be met by our Tanzania tour partner and our Camp Yoshi Guru. The adventure kicks off in the town of Arusha, situated at the foot of Mt. Meru with bustling markets and amazing coffee farms. We continue on to The Ngorongoro Conservation Area which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, holding the world’s largest inactive intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera. Obviously you cannot visit this beautiful country without making a visit to the Serengeti National Park, renowned for the famous annual wildebeest migration, with over one and a half million wildebeest and 250,000 zebra. The national park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and covers around 5,700 square miles of grassland plains, savannah as well as forest and woodlands. The park contains a variety of wildlife, including the “Big Five.” The trips concludes with an amazing island experience in Zanzibar. It is an island steeped in culture and history set in the Indian Ocean and made up of the larger islands of Pemba and Unguja. Zanzibar is also known as the “Spice Island” due to the delicious variety of spices grown on the island’s many plantations.

For this amazing Live Well Experience, we take a detour from our usual tent camping to enjoy premium safari lodges and resort accommodations.
