Tarangire National Park Tours & Trips
Tarangire National Park is worth more than just a quick safari stop. The park is known for its unique landscapes made by elephants and baobab trees. During the dry months, you'll see a lot of animals around the Tarangire River, including lions that climb trees and many different kinds of birds. Tarangire is quieter than Serengeti, which makes for a more personal safari. It's something you'll always remember.

I recently embarked on a 4-day luxury adventure with a prominent Professional Safari Africa company, and my experience exploring Tanzania surpassed all expectations. The itinerary meticulously curated by the team blended wildlife encounters, cultural immersions, and relaxation seamlessly. From the moment I touched down in Kilimanjaro, the attention to detail was evident. The luxurious accommodations, ranging from opulent lodges to secluded tented camps, provided a perfect balance of comfort and proximity to nature. Each day brought a new adventure, whether it was witnessing the breathtaking Serengeti migration or connecting with the Maasai people in Ngorongoro. The knowledgeable and personable guides Medison enriched the journey, offering insights into Tanzania's rich biodiversity and cultural tapestry. The wildlife safaris were nothing short of awe-inspiring – lions, elephants, and rhinos roamed freely against the backdrop of stunning landscapes. Beyond the safari game drives, the trip included moments of relaxation at exquisite lodges, where I could unwind and savor the flavors of Tanzanian cuisine. The entire experience felt like a seamless blend of adventure, luxury, and cultural immersion. 4-day luxury Tanzania adventure was a transformative experience that left me with memories to last a lifetime. I highly recommend this travel company for those seeking an unparalleled exploration of Tanzania with a touch of luxury.

World Adventure Tours gave us the experience of a lifetime. We used the company to go on safari to Tanzania and we were not disappointed. After a lot of back and forth with Moses of reservations we chose the 12 day private safari package to Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Moses helped us organize the perfect itinerary with a lot of flexibility that could accommodate changes. Our guide Obed was incredible. He picked us up at the airport on time and drove us to Highview Coffee Lodge in Karatu. Our game tour started at Lake Manyara then Serengeti and we visited Ngorongoro last. In the 12 days we saw lions, baboons, elephants, zebras, hippos, crown birds and so many others. Actually we saw all the big 5 because we encoutered rhinos in Ngorongoro on our last the last day He has a lot of experience with the Serengeti and its wildlife. He showed us many animals and gave us a lot of facts on them. He was also very skilled at spotting the animals and could see them from a long distance. The highlight of the trip was seeing the big five and the wildebeest migration at three different crossings. The staff at the camps/lodges was exceptional. They treated us like royalty, attending to our every need. They went to a lot of trouble ensuring we were comfortable. The tents are luxurious and have all the amenities. There was a working toilet, a hot shower, a sink, and a very comfortable bed. The tents also have balconies from where one can see wild animals roaming around. The views from the balcony were wondrous. We spent most of our evenings there, watching the sun go down. We couldn’t have been happier. Thanks to World Adventure Tours, Moses, and Obed for making our trip amazing.
