What to Expect on a Luxury Safari Tanzania
Game drives are the main way to see wildlife on most luxury safaris Tanzania. An early morning drive and an afternoon drive are the usual program staples. It is customary to watch the sunset in a picturesque location while sipping sundowners, which are typically a gin and tonic. A delicious, multi-course supper can be enjoyed in the privacy of your room, amongst other guests at the camp or lodge, or even out in the open air in the wilderness. Gather around an outdoor fire after dark, stargaze, go on a night wildlife drive (if available), relax on a star bed, or just get some sleep before another delicious day on safari.
Day trips get more interesting with activities like hot air balloon rides over the Serengeti, guided bush walks, visits to local communities, and taking part in research, among many other things. Fortunately, safari-goers who like to explore on foot also have a plethora of exciting options in Tanzania. Guests on walking safaris sleep in simple yet comfortable fly camps as they explore remote areas of the Ngorongoro Highlands or the Serengeti.
