“Our trip to Tanzania with WAT was an incredible experience overall. We got to see many different animals in all the parks that we visited. There were large herds of elephants in Tarangire, we encountered lions in Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Ikoma, Rhinos in Ngorongoro plus huge populations of Zebras, wildebeest, antelopes… We loved the camps and lodges that we were booked in. Quite nice and suited for safari. I highly recommend WAT!”
