About this experience

We will show you the real beauty of Africa.
Do you think that Tanzania is famous only for spectacular safaris with large wild animals? Do you believe that all the other attractions, such as culture, snorkeling, fishing & beaches are only in Zanzibar?
The idea of this tour is to discover hidden gems of mainland Tanzania. 15-day adventurous trip will steal your heart away.

You'll see endless plains of Serengeti, migrating herds of zebras & wildebeests, prides of lions, authentic tribes, waterfalls, old-growth rainforests, the majestic Kilimanjaro, Usambara Mountains, the cliffs of the mainland beach Pangani, the warm waves of the Indian Ocean and its underwater world.

I have been carefully tailoring this tour for over a year, traveling through our beautiful Tanzania, combining the most thrilling places, & designing this trip conscientiously.

Let me take you on a journey that will “disconnect” you from reality and show you true bright colors of Africa! Are you ready to follow me?
