Tanzania is a land of stunning landscapes, abundant wildlife, and rich culture. From the Serengeti’s vast plains and the Ngorongoro Crater to Tarangire’s baobabs and Zanzibar’s turquoise beaches, it offers unforgettable adventures. Tanzania promises wild, magical and life-changing experiences.
After five amazing (and tiring) days on safari in Tanzania — exploring Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti — we flew straight from Kilimanjaro Airport to Zanzibar. What followed was six blissful nights of white sand, warm breezes and slow mornings in Jambiani and a short stop in historic Stone Town.
When I first started planning our Tanzania safari, I had no idea just how much prices could vary. I assumed I’d get a few quotes, compare them, and pick the best one. But wow — the range in costs was huge.
Floating silently over the Serengeti at sunrise is an experience unlike any other. From the moment the balloon lifts off, the vast savannah unfolds beneath you — herds of zebra, giraffes, and elephants moving in timeless rhythm, predators stalking the plains, and the first golden light spilling over the horizon.
The Serengeti is one of the world’s most iconic safari destinations — a place where lions roam, elephants wander by and the vast plains seem endless. But for many travellers, a common question lingers: is safari in the Serengeti safe?
Our 5-day safari through Tanzania felt like stepping into a dream. Tanzania’s northern circuit is home to baobab forests scattered with elephants, Serengeti plains rippling with migrating herds, and misty crater rims where lions prowl in lush grass. We journeyed from the foothills of Arusha through Tarangire’s elephant country, to the boundless Serengeti and the mythical Ngorongoro Crater.
