Hisia Safaris, the journey of emotions

Complete Tanzania

Duration: 17 days and 16 nights

This wonderful safari of 17 days and 16 nights allow us to know two of the sides of Tanzania: its breathtaking plains full of wildlife, and beautiful beaches on the island of Zanzibar, white sand and crystal waters to relax after a fascinating tour through the best parks in the country. We will have the privilege of visiting the most emblematic parks in the Tanzanian country, and also the great and important lakes. A brief visit into Arusha to continue then to the green oasis that is Lake Manyara. Later we will go to the unsettling Lake Natron, followed by the wide and endless plains of Serengeti. After that, we will be introduced in the largest intact caldera in the world, the Ngorongoro Crater, to head later to Lake Eyasi, the only place in Tanzania where the Bushmen live. Tarangire is the last place to enjoy before flying to the paradise in Zanzibar that lies off the coast of Tanzania, where you can enjoy a few days of well deserved rest.
