What people love about Beach Tours in Tanzania
Our experience on this tour was nothing but amazing. We asked to personalise the itinerary to be sure we would have the perfect Safari we dreamt of. Medison, our guide, was very knowledgeable and brought us on Game Drives across 4 different parks, allowing us to see all the wildlife (not just the Big Five). Accommodation was clean, comfortable and very high-level, with luxury-tents in Serengeti and great Lodges in the other locations. Our stay in Zanzibar was relaxed and well taken care of. I highly recommend this operator for a great Safari experience!
