La Tanzania è senza dubbio la capitale indiscussa dei safari in Africa. Quasi il 40% del suo territorio è dedicato alla conservazione della fauna selvatica, comprendendo sterminati parchi nazionali protetti, riserve faunistiche e santuari marini. Qui la natura regna sovrana nella sua più pura grandezza primordiale.
Dalle sconfinate savane dorate del Parco Nazionale del Serengeti, dove oltre due milioni di gnu, zebre e gazzelle danno vita al più grande spettacolo della natura sulla Terra, all'antico anfiteatro naturale del Cratere di Ngorongoro che custodisce tutti i Big Five all'interno della sua caldera vulcanica: ogni singola giornata in Tanzania regala emozioni indimenticabili.
Che tu sogni di dormire sotto le stelle in una classica tenda da campo, rilassarti in una piscina a sfioro di lusso affacciata sugli animali o unirti a un piccolo gruppo affiatato, abbiamo lo stile di safari perfetto per te.
