Tanzania Highlights Safari Tour

A journey with lots of contrast from the game enriched plains of the famous Serengeti to the salt pans of Lake Manyara. A further high point of your journey is the Ngorongoro Crater and Ol’Duvai Gorge, both unique sites and a must for any visitor to Tanzania. This safari can be used as a stand alone safari or as an add-on to one of our Kenyan safaris.
