Tour Information

Our wildest dreams come true on this Independence by Globus African safari in Tanzania. Discover a kingdom of magical menageries that rule the endless plains of the Serengeti, the caldera of Ngorongoro, and the wildest places of Africa in the company of the king of the beasts, elephant queens, legions of thundering wildebeest, and the jesting antics of baboons. Get the royal treatment with plenty of I-time to experience local cultures, luxurious accommodations, and game drives in a private safari vehicle with an expert Driver/Guide in the most spectacular parks and reserves of Tanzania. Explore the expanses and estuaries where the big cats' rule, gazelles graze, and leopards lurk, along with the “Big 5” (lion, leopard, Cape buffalo, elephant, and rhino) to inspire your independent spirit!
 

All This. Included.

Driver/Guide throughout your private safari
 

The Great Migration is a natural event, and the movements of the migrating herds are difficult to predict year to year. The herds usually migrate in the Serengeti between late November and July. Observing a river crossing is more of a challenge, but we’ll adjust game viewing if there is a chance to witness this rare and extraordinary sight!
 

All game viewing is done at your own risk. We will require a signed liability waiver prior to travel.
 

We do not recommend this vacation to people with serious back problems, as it can be quite rough driving on/off road in/between game parks.
 

Filtered water: Included on all game activities.
