With almost 25% of Tanzania protected as nature reserves, and more than 50 parks from which to choose in Kenya, it's hard to decide where to go, but everyone agrees that the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania and the Amboseli National Park in Kenya are must-visit sites. Our Treasures of Tanzania & Kenya safari tour includes them all plus a lot more!
