It was one of the best experiences of our lives! Lions roared across the vast grasslands, and we saw cheetahs and zebras running.

Our family recently went on an 11-day Tanzania and Zanzibar safari with Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris, and honestly—it was one of the best experiences of our lives! 🌍 Start of the journey – Arusha and Tarangire National Park 🐘🌿 Our first destination after arriving in Tanzania was Tarangire National Park. Our kids were absolutely mesmerized by the huge herds of elephants, the baobab trees, and the prancing deer! The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, which made the whole trip more enjoyable. 🦁 Serengeti – Wildlife Paradise 🐆🌾 After entering the Serengeti, it felt like we were in the middle of a National Geographic scene! Lions roared across the vast grasslands, and we saw cheetahs and zebras running. The most exciting part of the whole safari was here! 🌋 Ngorongoro – Wonder of Nature 🦏🦓 Next we went to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where there is an entire ecosystem in one giant crater! Here I got a chance to see rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, and numerous wildlife up close. 🦩 The beauty of Lake Manyara 🌊🌿 Lake Manyara National Park was truly unique! We saw tree-climbing lions and numerous colorful flamingos. The atmosphere was calm and breathtaking! 🏝️ Last part of the trip—Heavenly Zanzibar 🌊🌴 After an exciting safari, relaxing on Zanzibar's white sand beaches and calm blue waters was amazing. We toured the historic Stone Town, went on a boat trip, and enjoyed local delicacies. At sunset, it seemed as if time had stopped! 🌅👨👩👧👦 Ideal tour for family 💕 This trip will be a truly unforgettable experience for our family. Lights on Africa Destinations & Safaris' professional guides, comfortable lodges, delicious food, and personal service made the entire trip hassle-free and memorable. 🌟 If you want to enjoy wildlife and the beauty of the sea together with your family, then this 11-day safari is definitely the perfect choice for you! 🌟 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% recommend! 🎉
