Suggested Itinerary
“I was amazed by the herds of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo. They were everywhere on this incredible safari adventure to the Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater! The endless plains of the Serengeti are not to be missed. I really enjoyed the private bush dinner in the Ngorongoro crater and the African sunsets lit the sky on fire! The guides were so knowledgeable, and the lodges were top notch. The bonus is that this itinerary includes the international air.”
