  • From Tarangire to Serengeti—an extraordinary marital adventure

    As husband and wife, we had a five-day mid-range safari. I was initially fascinated by the huge baobab trees and elephant herds in Tarangire. There is no mention of the Serengeti – I have seen countless groups of zebras, gnoos, lions, cheetahs and giraffes. The guide was impossibly knowledgeable and helpful, telling in detail about each animal. The lodges were clean, comfortable and in nature. The food was also good, especially the bush breakfast. The car was in good condition, the driver drove very carefully. All in all, it was the best adventure of our lives. Tremendous value for money compared to the budget.

    This 5-day safari in Tanzania with AFRICAN OVERLAND gave us more than we expected. Starting the journey from Arusha on the first day, we encountered one incredible experience after another. The view of the sunset in the endless wilderness of Serengeti National Park was breathtaking. I have seen lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants - everything very closely. We also had the privilege of seeing rhinoceros in Ngorongoro Crater. Our tour planner, Sebastian Kaili, arranged the entire trip with great care. Guide Elias Godwin was knowledgeable, punctual and very cooperative. The car was comfortable, and I enjoyed the wonderful views of nature from each lodge. And we want to go back!
