Crafted safari story

A more thoughtful way to experience Tanzania

Nakupenda is built for travellers who want something wilder and less conventional. It adds two nights in Lake Natron, including a sundowner, a lake tour and waterfall visit, before continuing into the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. The itinerary details are complete in the PDF, but the price field is not legible there, so this safari is currently stored without a published starting price.
