Safaris

Al onze safaris in het Noordelijk Circuit beginnen in Arusha, Moshi of vanaf het vliegveld Kilimanjaro waar vandaan vertrokken wordt naar de respectievelijke Nationale Parken, de Tarangire met zijn grote hoeveelheid olifanten, de Ngorongoro Crater met ‘s werelds grootste concentratie wildlife, de Serengeti met zijn wereldberoemde migratie van de wildebeest en een van de parels van Oost Afrika: Lake Manyara met zijn in bomen klimmende leeuwen. Wij kunnen elke combinatie maken die u maar wilt en u kunt overnachten in tenten, wildlife hotels of luxe lodges.

Ook organiseren wij safaris in het Zuidelijk Circuit met het Mikumi National Park, Ruaha National Park and Selous Game Reserve. Deze parken worden wel gezien als de verborgen schatten van Tanzania’s authentieke Afrika. De parken zijn enorm qua oppervlakte en hebben de hoogste concentratie van dieren in Afrika.
