This 15-day adventure brings you the heart and soul of Tanzania — the rhythm of its tribes, the roar of its wildlife, and the whisper of ocean breezes on the Spice Island of Zanzibar.
You’ll begin your journey with immediate adventure in Tarangire National Park, known for elephants and baobabs, then meet the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes around Lake Eyasi for an authentic cultural exchange. Continue to the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world’s most unique wildlife havens, and the Serengeti Plains, where the Great Migration thunders by.
