Taste of Tanzania

By Helen Austin
Purchasing Manager for Alfred&

Discover the highlights of Northern Tanzania on this classic 6-day safari. In the lush landscapes of Lake Manyara you’ll search for flamingos and tree-climbing lions, then head to the Serengeti – a land of vast savanna and abundant wildlife. The trip ends in the 600-metre deep Ngorongoro Crater, the perfect location for a picnic lunch on the crater floor surrounded by some of the largest densities of wildlife in Africa.

Alfred & Helen Austin

Helen was fascinated by travel from an early age, avidly watching holiday programmes and dreaming of future travel plans. Fantasy became reality when she joined Kuoni just over 20 years ago, and she has continued to explore ever since. She fell in love with Africa on her first safari experience in Zambia, watching an elephant herd meander across a dusty track as the sun set dramatically. Subsequent trips to South Africa, Namibia, and Kenya have further fuelled her passion for the wildlife, diverse cultures, and beautiful landscapes of her favourite continent.
