This amazing twelve day trip had game drives, safari walks and glamping in Tanzania’s most well known national parks; Serengeti National Park, Olduvai Gorge, Ngorongoro Crater, Arusha National Park, and Tarangire National Park.

The Serengeti is huge, miles and miles of grassland plains, savanna, riverine forest, and woodlands. While we were there long streams of migrating Wildebeest and Zebras traveled the plains.

The Land of Nature bush camp is totally luxe, indoor & outdoor showers and plenty of hot water on demand.

It’s 4:13 am and I’m awakened by a lion roaring behind our tent. There’s only canvas between me and this beast. Luckily it was walking its territory checking things out and continued on its way after scaring me witless.

Covering about 100 square miles the Ngorongoro Crater is one of the largest intact calderas in the world. The caldera’s floor is mostly open grassland and is home to elephants, black rhinoceroses, leopards, buffalo, zebras, warthogs, gnu (wildebeests), Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, and lions.

The local Maasai people also graze their livestock in the crater. Our guides arranged a visit to a Masai village, we were greeted by the women, then walked into the village where we greeted the men and were able to visit and enter the home.
