Serengeti
The Serengeti is an amazing place. One can go on a game drive, and before one knows it, hours have gone by. We have had some of our best moments when the vehicle has gone quiet and everyone is staring out the window at some amazing sighting. Then someone says, “Come on, we have to go,” and you think, “No way, that was amazing!” The Serengeti is wild, huge, and very unpredictable. Keep your eyes peeled, for you never know what you might see!
Ngorongoro Crater
It is truly an amazing place, and as we descended into the Crater, it was as if we entered another world. On the rim we had a great view of the huge natural amphitheatre below us, but down on the floor of the Crater it was so much better as we saw so much wildlife. We saw many things, such as lions lounging in the grass, huge elephants walking across the plains, and even flamingos down at the lakes. Just as we thought we had seen everything, we saw a rhino in the distance and we all rushed to grab our binoculars.
Lake Manyara
Lake Manyara National Park is a relatively small park but is packed with things to see. As you travel through the park, the landscape can change from forest to open plains and back again, but the best bit is the bird life on the lake itself. We have had some great encounters with elephants and baboons in this park, and it is often very relaxed with lots of color. It is the type of park where you can have many unexpected sightings and encounters on your safari.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire has its own personality, with massive ancient Baobab trees dominating the landscape. Here the elephants are so at home, you will have the chance to see them feeding, playing, and moving about freely. All of our game drives in Tarangire have been great, and we have often just parked up and watched the elephants for hours. There is something so relaxed about this park, and we can take our time to spot the wildlife of the bush.
Zanzibar
Zanzibar is also know as the Spice Island. Its where you pack away your safari gear and reach out for the sarong and board shorts. No longer sitting up straight in the safari vehicle, you are now swaying in a hammock and enjoying some down time. The island is all warm turquoise water, white sandy beaches, swaying palms and the delicious smell of spices drifting through the streets. We love wandering through Stone Town, getting a little lost which is usually when you discover the best bits before heading to the coast to slow everything down. Visiting a Spice Garden is a must do activity. Swim, snorkel, sail, eat something wonderful or simply lie under a palm tree and do absolutely nothing. After safari, you’ve earned it!
