Truly a once in a lifetime and unforgettable experience with our family. Very special times.
My husband and I travel quite a bit, but this trip fully exceeded any and all expectations. We knew it was going to be special, but nothing prepared us for the quality of experiences we had every day. The level of hospitality and the incredible people we met along the way made our honeymoon unforge…
We really had an absolutely fantastic trip from start to finish. As part of our trip, we did safari in three amazing locations: Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. Each location offered different landscapes and unique opportunities to see animals.
