THE BEST OF TANZANIA IN SEVEN DAYS
TEMBO TOUR
If what you want is to contemplate the great spectacle of Migration that Nature offers, the Tembo tour is your tour. The ideal dates are from July 15.
Seven-day tour where we will be in the northern part of the Serengeti, in Kogatende, on the border with the Masai Mara and close to the Mara River, to which we will go and, with luck, we will see the herd to cross. All this without forgetting to visit other parks such as the Tarangire National Park, famous for its elephants and baobabs.
We will also be in Seronera, the Central Part of the Serengeti, an obligatory visit area in any self-respecting safari and where a large number of predators abound throughout the year; and, of course, the Ngorongoro Crater, with its exquisite beauty and great concentration of animals in its 20 km diameter basin, where we will have a high probability of seeing the Rhino.
Safaris Africa United will do everything possible to make your experience unforgettable and you can leave with the feeling of having seen something unique that only Tanzania can offer.
