Tour Overview

Embark on a truly remarkable 14-day safari that combines Tanzania’s most iconic parks with one of the world’s rarest wildlife experiences — tracking chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park. Safari With Heart takes you through Tarangire’s elephant-filled plains, the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara, the endless savannahs of the Serengeti, and finally to the lush shores of Lake Tanganyika. This itinerary is designed for adventurous travelers seeking both classic safari thrills and intimate encounters with primates in the wild.
