A breathtaking journey through the northern safari circuit of Tanzania, including Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Natron and the Serengeti.

My husband and I spent two weeks exploring Tanzania by eating good food and fruits, built huts with the local people in a village, exploring the plains, spotting the "Big Five" and other wildlife on safaris in the Serengeti. We also enjoyed the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar. We had a wonderful trip!

The Serengeti in Tanzania is one of the best places in Africa to go on safari to see wildlife. Among other reasons, there is never a bad time to explore the Serengeti. Both the wet and dry seasons have their benefits. The Serengeti National Park is dry and sunny from June through October, making this the best time for a safari in Tanzania.

When we arrived, …

I appreciated the order of how we did our trip. Mostly because it gave us a foundation of learning about the people of Tanzania and built knowledge of the landscape and then the animals. The experience was all the more rich with building the layers that this country has to offer. Lake Manyara National Park was our first stop and where we first …

The most difficult planning part of any trip for me is how much money do I bring and how do I think about tipping my guide well? I’m not one to carry cash in my everyday life, so it is against my nature to carry hundreds of dollars especially while I’m traveling in a foreign country. It’s a stressful part of travel that I …

If you are traveling across the world like we did, you may wake up before your alarm and in the darkness of your tent enjoy the sound of bugs and wildlife stirring outside. At 6:00 AM, your alarm sounds and you begin your day. If you prefer to shower, you knew to ask the staff to set it up for you the evening before. You’ll hear them filling …
