Dear Adventurer, Having recently completed our fifth safari through Tanzania, I came home with one thought on my mind…I’m going back! With over 40 years in the travel business, Dennis and I have seen and done a lot. Stating it simply, very few places have impressed us as much as Tanzania! First of all, the wildlife is a WOW! During our journey through the great game reserves of Tanzania, we'll have many chances to see countless species of African wildlife. Elephant…lion...zebra...cheetah...hippo...rhino... crocodile...giraffe... ostrich...wildebeest... gazelle...and many, many more, all in their natural habitat. Our expert driver-guides will take us in 6-passenger open roof safari vehicles with each person guaranteed a window seat and get us amazingly close to the animals. Speaking of driver-guides, it is the people who take care of us along the way who will make you absolutely fall in love with Tanzania. These are literally the kindest and hardest working people you will ever meet. From our daily game drives with our outstanding driver-guides to the staff at each hotel, it really doesn’t get any better than this. We've selected first-rate accommodations throughout our journey that both highlight the natural beauty of Tanzania and put us in great locations for wildlife viewing. Upon arrival in Tanzania we'll check into the lovely Lake Duluti Serena Hotel, from which our safari gets underway in earnest. In Tarangire National Park we'll call the Tarangire Sopa Lodge home for two nights. Next, it's two nights of awe-inspiring views at the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge perched high atop the Ngorongoro Crater floor on it's jagged rim. Then it's on to the Southern Serengeti where we’ve selected the perfected luxury tented camp to highlight the January/February migration. We'll spend three spectacular nights at the Lake Masek Tented Lodge for a true "Out of Africa" experience! We’ll finish our safari with a one night stay at Kuba Kuba Tented Camp located right in the heart of the Serengeti. There is so much more and I could go on and on. Please read through the brochure and give me a call personally at 800.383.3131 if you have any questions or if you’d like to hold a spot. Due to limitations on available accommodations at our luxury tented camp, our maximum group size is 18 - three 6 passenger Land Cruisers. This will be one of the great adventures of your lifetime and I can’t wait to experience it with you! Call me! Warm regards, Peggy Crull Peggy R. Crull President & Founder Cruise & Tour Cruise & Tour President Peggy Crull with our outstanding driver-guides, Medy, Dominic and James.
