Tanzania

Tanzania: A Private 4x4 Safari and the Beaches of Zanzibar

Safari and beach in one trip, without the long tracks of the Serengeti: two days in Tarangire, Lake Manyara and its tree-climbing lions, then a whole day in the Ngorongoro crater, in a private 4x4 for six travellers at most and in 4* lodges and camp (local rating). A domestic flight then takes you to Zanzibar for three all-inclusive nights in a 4* hotel on the east coast. A private version is possible on request. Soft bags required.
