DESCRIPTION:

Embark on a cultural and wildlife safari that presents an extraordinary opportunity to experience life through the eyes of a Tanzanian woman. This two-week journey will take you into the homes, businesses, and villages of the modern and traditional women of Tanzania. Take part in their daily lives, learn about their challenges and accomplishments, and join in discussions with the help of an interpreter; gain a uniquely intimate perspective on women's issues in a developing nation.

 

This rewarding experience will take place against a backdrop of stunning scenery, from the bustling villages on the slopes of Mount Meru to the pristine wilderness of the vast Serengeti. Spend time with the semi-nomadic Maasai women. Just like their ancestors a thousand years ago, the Maasai women live in mud dung huts and drink fermented milk.

 

The scenery in this region is spectacular, as we walk amidst the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Explore the Ngorongoro Crater, a magnificent wildlife haven where we find large populations of elephant, rhinoceros, lion, hyena, zebra, wildebeest, and a myriad of other animals living in this self-contained environment; the famed Oldupai Gorge, where some of the earliest remains of our species were discovered; and the vast Serengeti Plains, where we will discover some of the highest concentrations of animals in the world.

 

CONSIDER:

Do you prefer luxury hotels or high-end tents? Or more basic and less costly accommodations? How about staying in a tree house? Would you like to go for walks or stick to vehicles? Think about a private dinner under the stars in the wilderness - its unforgettable!

 

Consider visiting the Serengeti at the peak of the wildebeest calving season, when over a million animals are giving birth!
