For the quintessential Lion King experience, look no further. Renowned for their incredible wildlife, Tanzania and Kenya are blessed with an abundance of spectacular wildlife and beautiful landscapes. With nearly 25% of Tanzania protected as nature reserves, and more than 50 parks from which to choose in Kenya, it's hard to decide where to go, but everyone agrees that the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania and the Amboseli National Park in Kenya are must-visit sites. Our Treasures of Tanzania & Kenya safari tour includes them all plus a lot more! And like all Friendly Planet tours, you'll enjoy the very best of Tanzania and Kenya at prices that are as amazing as the countries themselves.
