Tanzania
Min Age : N/A
Tour Details

This is a classic short private safari to the world famous wildparks of Tanzania including the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro crater. Then you have time to relax and enjoy the white sandy beaches of Zanzibar Island. We have added one of our favorite small beach resort but we can upgrade or down grade the hotel on request. (see alternative accommodation on the last day). Pure flexibility and freedom!

Highlights

Tarangire National Park or Lake Manyara National Park (depending on the season), Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar Island.

Comfort and service in the wild
African Travels takes the view that your accommodations are just as important as the safari itself. That is why we make sure that the accommodation we book for you is of excellent standard. Virtually all accommodations are built according to the same principle, in a central location, with a partly open restaurant surrounded by a varying number of guest rooms sleeping two or more people. Each room has its own bathroom facilities. What they all share in common is the incomparable, unique safari atmosphere. The rooms are decorated with natural materials and colours, with romantic mosquito nets draped over large beds with soft and comfortable duvets and lovely crisp linens. Imagine watching the sun set over the breathtaking landscape, or chatting by the fire al fresco, under the stars. These memories will last you a lifetime. At night, you will sleep like a baby, and if you don’t, you can listen to the orchestra of the wilderness. Can you hear the elephants, the lions or the hyenas? Dinner and breakfast offer a wide choice of African and western dishes, usually served as a buffet. More and more accommodations feature swimming pools.

Beach extension
Tanzania has one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. White sandy beach, clear blue sea. On request we add an alternative beach hotel, boutique hotel, budget hostel or private villa. Ask us about the possibilities!

Optional excursions
Extra excursions such as a hot air balloon safari, a visit to a coffee plantation, bicycle tours, cooking class, etc. can be added to the travel program on request!

This is a customized trip. Additional overnight stays, upgrades and route changes are possible on request!

The crater is one of the prime areas to observe the endangered Black rhino and black manned Lions.

Good vibes only!
African Travels was a excellent choice for us. Our trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar with our children was an excellent experience. We have seen more than 40 different animals in our 12 days game drive. We had an excellent driver and Gide (Lucas). The loges were clean and beautiful and the (staff) people are very kind and helpful. Next time we will book our trip again with African Travels!
