Classic Tanzania
8 days · from $8,495
Classic Tanzania takes you on safari to four of Tanzania's top game viewing areas: Lake Manyara, home of the tree climbing lion; the always impressive Ngorongoro Crater, world-renowned Serengeti National Park and Tarangire, famous for its large herds of elephants.
Game viewing is sure to be outstanding throughout the safari, so be ready to see the Big Five and more.
Along the way, your accommodations are in luxury five star Lemala camps. These tents are are far from "roughing it". Spacious tents are much more like luxury rooms with canvas walls, complete with large beds, proper bathrooms with showers (and plenty of hot water) and large verandahs perfect for an afternoon of relaxation.
We can easily build an extension to Kenya, Zanzibar, Victoria Falls or even South Africa to this trip.
