What's this trip about?

    We’ve been sending travelers to Tanzania—only Tanzania—for over thirty years, because we truly believe it is the premier safari destination in East Africa. First and foremost, that’s because Tanzania is, and always has been, a safe and peaceful country. It’s often referred to as “the Switzerland of Africa,” because of its reputation for calm and stability. You’ll sense the warmth and generosity of spirit of the Tanzanian people the moment you touch down on Tanzanian soil. But Tanzania is more than just a safe country, it’s a beautiful one! From the Indian ocean to the heights of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania has a wealth of breathtaking landscapes that set the scene for an amazing trip The people that call this amazing country home have come together to form a rich culture that is intriguing, unique, and always changing No safari is complete without wildlife viewing, and Tanzania has some of the best in Africa

Days 9-10

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha / Return to North America
