Tanzania: Safari Adventure for Families with Zanzibar Retreat
Herds of elephants descend in their masses to the local river to drink water at sunrise. Vultures and eagles soar in circles around the prey, waiting for their turn after the lions have satisfied their hunger with the vulnerable prey. The hippopotamus pool, rich in animals, approaches the weight of almost a ton, lying under the scorching sun. The leopard leads its prey to the top of the tree, where it dines with its heart far from any relevant competitor. These are just some of the sights of a safari in Tanzania that will leave even those who thought they had seen everything enchanted and completely captivated. A safari trip to Tanzania is an extraordinary encounter with the wildlife of Africa in the vast and richest savannah areas in the world. An experience that can awaken even the biggest cynics.
