Overland Tour Description |
 The spectacular Rift Valley, with the wide-open plains of east Africa is stretched before you. On this stunning safari we take in some of the very best of Kenya's Big Five game viewing National Parks and its outstanding tribal people and scenery. The National Parks and Reserves of northern Tanzania need little introduction to wildlife enthusiasts.
The vast Serengeti National Park, is arguably the finest reserve on the continent, home to millions of plains animals and a profusion of predators. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world, whilst Lake Manyara is one of the most diverse of Tanzania's National Parks with a Rift Valley Lake, dense woodlands and steep mountainside. Add to this, Mount Meru, Africa's fifth highest mountain, at 4566 m, which dominates the horizon when visiting the bustling town of Arusha, the gateway to the reserves of northern Tanzania.
Africa's spectacular Rift Valley, with the wide open plains of East Africa stretched before us. This safari explores Africa's tribal people and its wildlife unchallenged in their diversity. Enjoy 5 nights on the delightful and breathtaking Island of Zanzibar. Relax on the pearly white beaches of the east coast and explore old Stone Town following the winding streets steeped in intriguing history. |
