Description

Overview

Tanzania is an East African country known for its vast wilderness areas. They include the plains of Serengeti National Park, a safari mecca populated by the “big five” game (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), and Kilimanjaro National Park. Many important hominid fossils have been found in Tanzania, such as 6 million year-old Pliocene hominid fossils. The genus Australopithecus ranged all over Africa 4-2 million years ago; and the oldest remains of the Homo genus are found near Lake Olduvai. Following the rise of Homo erectus 1.8 million years ago, mankind spread all over the Old World, and later in the New World and Australia under the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens also overtook Africa and absorbed the older archaic species and subspecies of humanity. **NOTE:** - Child rate applies only when sharing with paying adults - Children under 6years must be accompanied by an adult - Please advise any specific dietary requirements at time of booking - A small amount of walking May involved, carry with you hiking shoes - The duration of transfers are approximate, the exact duration will depend on the time of day and traffic conditions. - A Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory when enters Tanzania. - Visa are available on arrival.
