TANZANIA TREASURES
For many years, Tanzania has been overshadowed by neighboring Kenya, which seemed to attract the lion’s share (get it?!) of visitors and luxury lodges. Interestingly enough, I think this has actually worked out to Tanzania’s advantage, as tourism has developed at a more moderate pace and the country has a “hidden gem” quality. I visited Tanzania for two weeks in February and March, and it was one of the best trips I’ve taken. In the local Maasai language, Serengeti means “endless plain” and when you see the sunlight break across the vast savannah, you can truly appreciate its enormity. Throughout Tanzania, land is not parcelled out into endless small private concessions as in many other safari destinations, so it feels truly wild – you will likely see giraffes and elephants strolling along main roads before you even reach a reserve or national park. In addition to the plentiful game, there are many more reasons to go, including the otherworldly Ngorongoro Crater, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Lake Victoria, Olduvai Gorge (the “cradle of civilization”) and the beaches of Zanzibar and other coastal islands. Please contact me to discuss a customized itinerary to Tanzania; I would be happy to help!
