At a Glance

Journey to a land where elephants roam free and lions snooze in the afternoon sun. On expert-led game drives through humongous national parks and reserves, search for leopards, rhinos, elephants and cheetahs with the locals that know their favorite hangouts. When you’re not searching for wildlife with your family, get to know the villagers at a local school to learn what a typical day is like – minus the homework! – and make some new friends. When the day is done, huddle in close with your family at the campfire to hear wild animal tales as you create lifelong memories in Tanzania together.
