Tanzania
Experience an unforgettable African safari on this spectacular vacation to the very heart of Tanzania. Begin in Arusha, where you spend the night before heading to Lake Manyara for an afternoon game drive to search for baboons, impalas, giraffes, elephants, hippos, and even tree-climbing lions. On to the Serengeti and Serengeti National Park for additional game drives, then enjoy an excursion to Olduvai Gorge where you'll follow in the footsteps of paleontologists Dr. Louis and Mary Leakey and learn about the most important archaeological finds relating to the evolution of mankind. Next, experience the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and tour its 102-square-mile caldera, host to an abundance of wildlife including the rare and threatened rhino. Also visit a Maasai village. At Gibbs Farm, learn about how coffee is grown and harvested, then take a game drive en route to Tarangire National Park. Finally, return to Arusha, a city that recently gained fame as a seat of the international criminal court of justice.
