Translated from German · Show original

Die Safari-Tour in Tansania, die durch die Nationalparks Tarangire, Ngorongoro und Serengeti führt, war durch gut strukturierte Tagesabläufe gekennzeichnet. Die Organisation umfasste effektive Transfers, beginnend am Kilimanjaro Airport, gefolgt von geplanten Besuchen in den verschiedenen Parks. Besonders positiv war der Einsatz eines erfahrenen Guides, der jeden Tag ausführliche Informationen zu den spektakulären Tierwanderungen in der Serengeti und der vielfältigen Tierwelt im Tarangire Nationalpark bereithielt. Die Campingunterkünfte waren einfach, aber funktional und trugen zur Erfahrung bei.
