Safari on foot

Tanzania has huge safari areas, providing different experiences in places like Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. My first safari was in Lake Manyara and my second was in Serengeti National Park.

I am not referring to observing wild nature; I am talking about experiencing it firsthand and feeling the adrenaline rush it brings.

Going on a safari is a unique travel experience. Some people go on safari only once and feel that is enough, while others go every year.

Staying in tent accommodations can be a bit scary for me. Even though Maasai people work as guards at all the camps, you are still in the wild. For the second time, I stayed at the Four Seasons Safari Lodge...
