Tanzania

Overview

Now's the time to explore Africa on your terms with this tour that's affordable for young travellers. Got a big appetite for adventure? We're serving up a nine-day tour in Tanzania with your name on it. From the mountains to the mighty elephants, watch as animals come to life on wildlife safari drives through the Serengeti. And if you're cool with heights, hop on an optional hot-air balloon ride to see the expanse of grassland savannah from a bird’s point of view. End the tour enjoying the starry African skies from the beautiful island of Zanzibar. This Swahili paradise will make you truly understand the meaning of "hakuna matata" more than a singing warthog and meerkat ever could.
