Nature Responsible Safari

7 Days Luxury Africa Safari Tanzania (Responsible Safari)

Trip information

Safaris in Tanzania can take different forms. Many people understand that being inside the national park is the best of it. From our experience, in this 7-Day Luxury Africa Safari Tanzania, you can also get better outside the park, especially in wildlife management areas where you will also contribute to village development. This package will take you to the Wildlife Management area as part of your game safari. Randilen is a Wildlife Managed Area (WMA) located near Tarangire National Park. A WMA is land set aside for wildlife conservation that is managed by the village in partnership with the government. In this arrangement, the village gets a percentage of what visitors pay to stay or do game drives in the area. Randilen is located at the border of Tarangire National Park. The end game drive in this area is quiet, not crowded, and very special. Remember, wild animals do not have borders, and since wildlife management areas are all located at the borders of national parks, animals are also around these areas.

The game drive in the Randilen area will be more special for couples, honeymooners and families. It is possible to go for a morning game drive then back to the camp for a hot lunch and another game drive late afternoon. Walking and night game drives are possible as well. Are you looking for a special safari in Tanzania but not in the normal doings? This one is for you!
