What's this trip about?

    Seeking out the plentiful wildlife that Tanzania is renowned for is the main focus of this safari, and you’ll visit all four of northern Tanzania’s most popular parks to do so. From the little visited Tarangire to the small, beautiful, Lake Manyara National Park and from the vast plains of the Serengeti to the various habitats within the unique Ngorongoro Crater and its surrounding conservation area, expect to see herds of gazelle and wildebeest, elephants with some of the largest tusks in Africa and numerous prides of lion. These natural spectacles are enhanced by insightful introductions to local tribes and their traditional cultures, all so different from our own. Stay in luxurious tented camps and well-situated lodges throughout this excellent safari led by a knowledgeable guide. Please Note: The luxury tented camp used whilst staying in the Serengeti is seasonal, and close during Tanzania’s rainy season (April to May and from November to mid-December). For safari departures during these dates comparable alternative accommodation will be used. Speak to us for details on which lodge will replace this tented camp.

Meals Included

Meals

Breakfast on the Classic Tanzania Safari usually consists of fresh fruit, cereals, toast or fresh bread and the option of a  cooked breakfast with eggs of your choice. Tea and coffee and fruit juice are also on offer. Whilst travelling from one park to another, or when you are out on a full day’s safari, you’ll usually stop at a picnic spot to have a packed lunch. On other days you’ll return to your camp or lodge for lunch. The meal might then include a light starter such as soup, a mains choice of fresh salads, cold pasta dishes, cold meats and a bread selection, followed by a light dessert. Dinner is  usually a three-course meal too and will often be served as a buffet or offer a choice of mains dishes.

Drinks

Drinking water, tea and coffee are included whilst in the safari vehicle and at most of the lodges and tented safari camps. All other drinks are an additional cost to be settled directly with each individual accommodation. The best currency for this is US dollars cash and we recommend you carry notes in small denominations, as many of the lodges won’t always have large amounts of change. In addition, you will need to use new US dollar notes printed after the year 2000. Old notes printed before this date are often refused by the banks in Tanzania, so lodges will not accept them.
