Travel on the journey of a lifetime into the plains of Tanzania, Africa's premier safari destination where, in one of Earth's greatest natural spectacles, vast herds of elephant, wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and Cape buffalo roam the savannas, stalked by the magnificent carnivores-lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Observe the largest concentration of wildlife in the world at Ngorongoro Crater, and step back into the dawn of time at Olduvai Gorge, where the legendary Leakey family has probed the origins of mankind. Throughout the program, enjoy superb accommodations in some of the region's finest lodges while learning about Tanzania's wildlife from expert local guides. Gain perspective on life in Tanzania with visits to a local Maasai village and elementary school.
