Join Susan Drew, owner of Sangha Tours, on her 10th deluxe group tour this summer to Tanzania and Kenya. “It's timed for the Great Wildebeest Migration which is just amazing,” says Drew. You can choose to join Drew first on Tanzania's “Spice Island” of Zanzibar for some R&R. Then travel with her to meet everyone in Tanzania's tea region (near Mt. Kilimanjaro) for the group's first safari. “From Arusha to Lake Manyara, from Ngorongoro Crater (Africa's Eden) to the Serengeti – you'll see many birds and animals on safari such as: lion, cheetah, leopard, elephant, zebra, giraffe, hippo, antelope, gazelle, etc,” says Drew. “In the Serengeti, you'll see thousands of wildebeest starting their migration into Kenya. As they cross the border, you will too – meeting them in Kenya's Maasai Mara.” After great Mara safaris and Maasai Village Tours, the group heads to Kenya's lake region, famous for it's rhinos and flamingos. Then some fly home, as others travel with Drew into Uganda, for gorilla tracking.

The trip can be extended to join Drew earlier as she explores Botswana's Okavango Delta, Chobe NP and Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls for the first time.

Accommodations throughout are in deluxe lodges and luxury-tented-camps, with most meals provided. Summer is peak season with great weather so space is limited. Call Susan Drew 772-567-6202, [email protected], Sanghatours.net.
