                <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;moze-huge&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://site-2270103.mozfiles.com/files/2270103/daces-journal-badge-eng-v1_webp.webp?1784218983&quot; class=&quot;moze-img-left&quot; style=&quot;width: 204px;&quot; alt=&quot;Dace’s Journal&quot;&gt;How Not to Fall into the Traps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;moze-large&quot;&gt;Are the words safari and game drive synonyms?&amp;nbsp; What do
they mean, and how are they different? How can you avoid falling into tourist
traps?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;moze-large&quot;&gt;That is what this blog post in the “Dace’s Journal” series is about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Safari and game drive are not synonyms – they mean different
things. Yet travellers very often confuse these terms. And while an honest tour
operator will explain the difference, those looking for the lowest price can
easily fall into this trap.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So – what does each of these words mean?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A safari is a journey, and it can include different
activities – watching animals from a safari vehicle (game drive), walking in
nature (walking safari), hiking in the mountains, swimming at a waterfall,
taking a boat trip on a river or lake, visiting tribes, and so on. Every safari
has its own programme, and it can be very different.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A game drive, on the other hand, is just one of the
activities that can be part of a safari. A game drive means watching animals in
a park from a vehicle. A game drive can last a few hours, but it can also take
up the whole day – from sunrise to sunset. Depending on the programme, a game
drive during a safari can take place in one park or in several parks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;People looking for the lowest prices often see a safari
offer and assume that it automatically includes watching animals in a park. It
does not. The painful discovery may come during the trip – a game drive is not
included in the programme at all, or they have to pay extra for it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I remember that, when I had just started living in Tanzania
and travelling around the national parks, I once saw an advertisement online
for a “Mikumi safari” with a picture of a lion and a very low price. I
looked at the price for a long time, calculated the costs and finally asked Roman:
“How can they offer it at such a low price?” According to my calculations, the
price did not even cover the organiser’s direct costs, let alone employees’
salaries and the company’s profit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Roman took a quick look at the advertisement and, running
his finger across the screen, pointed out a sentence in the ad: “Park on the
way” (park along the way). That was when I noticed the phrase in small
print too. But I still did not understand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It turned out that this safari did not even enter Mikumi
National Park.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A main road runs through Mikumi National Park, connecting
the port of Dar es Salaam in the east of the country with the country’s western
border. When you drive along this road, sometimes a wild animal happens to be
on the road, and sometimes there are none.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If tourists are going to see animals, they turn off the main
road and drive into the park, going along the smaller roads, looking for
animals and watching them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this particular programme, they drive from Dar es Salaam
to Mikumi village and then back again. Whichever animal happens to come out of
the park onto the road to say hello, well, you have to make do with that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the time, Roman told me about information circulating
among drivers: people would sometimes only realise, when they reached Mikumi
village, that they had been misled and that watching animals inside the park
was not part of their programme at all.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They get angry with the driver, but the driver is not really
to blame – he is simply following the route his boss has given him. Besides, it
would hardly be correct to say that the people had been cheated in a legal
sense, because the advertisement clearly said, “park on the way”, and
nothing about a game drive was mentioned.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So now, when I drive through Mikumi National Park along the
main road and animals happen to come close to the road, I say to myself: very
polite animals – they come out to show themselves and take care of those who
fell for “park on the way”.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another place where it is easy to fall into a trap is
Ngorongoro.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As you know, there is the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and
inside it is the Ngorongoro Crater. If you want to drive down into the crater,
you need to buy two entrance tickets – one for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area
and another specifically for the crater.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here too, people looking for the lowest prices may see “Ngorongoro
safari” and assume that it means a drive into the crater. They can be
surprised when, having reached the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the
viewpoint by the crater, they realise that this is all – a photo stop with the
crater in the background, but there will be no drive down into the crater and
no game drive in the crater, because it is not planned and is not included in
the programme.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So remember – there is a safari, which means the journey as
a whole and can include different activities, and there is a game drive, which
specifically means watching animals in a park.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By the way, in Tanzania, outside the tourism industry, the
word safari is used to describe any trip or outing. It can be, for
example, a journey from the city to the countryside, but it can also mean a
trip abroad.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You could say that for international travellers, the
safari starts already at the airport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

                <title>Dace&#039;s Journal | What a Small Portuguese Chapel Taught Me About Courage</title>
                <link>http://www.tanzaniatoursafari.com/blog/params/post/5279947/daces-journal-portuguese-chapel-courage</link>
                <pubDate>Thu, 16 Jul 2026 10:05:00 +0000</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;b style=&quot;text-align: start; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://site-2270103.mozfiles.com/files/2270103/daces-journal-badge-eng-v1_webp.webp?1784218983&quot; class=&quot;moze-img-left&quot; style=&quot;width: 183px;&quot; alt=&quot;Dace’s Journal&quot;&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start; font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;moze-large&quot;&gt;Returning to Tanzania after travelling through Europe, I found myself thinking not about Portugal itself, but about a single idea that followed me home.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start; font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;moze-large&quot;&gt;This journal entry is not about history or architecture. It is about courage, fear, and the unexpected way Tanzania has changed how I see the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve been back home in Tanzania for a while now after
travelling through Europe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The rainy season has ended, and with July a new &lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11499020/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;safari season&lt;/a&gt; begins. July and August mark the height of the &lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11599952/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Great Migration&lt;/a&gt;, when
millions of wildebeest, together with zebras, cross the famous Grumeti and Mara
rivers in Serengeti in search of greener grass.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the start of the season, there is plenty of work to do.
Yet I still can&#039;t stop thinking about a small Portuguese chapel overlooking the
Atlantic Ocean in the town of Vila do Conde.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During Portugal&#039;s Age of Discovery, Vila do Conde was a
shipbuilding centre. Today you can visit a replica of a ship from Vasco da
Gama&#039;s time. It is a reminder that brave sailors once left this small town to
cross the oceans and discover the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Right beside the ocean stands a tiny chapel. Inside is a
painting of sailors sitting in a boat during a storm, praying for protection.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Looking at that painting, I remembered another Portuguese
chapel. Even smaller. Even simpler. Yet, in essence, the same. It stands on
Africa&#039;s east coast, in the town of Malindi beside the Indian Ocean.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And that was the moment I began thinking about courage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sailors. Explorers. A tiny chapel. A prayer. What does
courage actually mean?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Until then, I had always thought courage meant not being
afraid.&amp;nbsp;Then a thought came to me that surprised me.&amp;nbsp;Perhaps courage does not mean being fearless at all.&amp;nbsp;Perhaps courage simply includes fear.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That thought brings back another scene.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Six years ago, I came to Tanzania for the first time as a
tourist. Back then, I met Roman. He was my safari guide and driver. Today he is
my husband and my partner in &lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11499021/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;our Tanzanian safari company&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the time, he told me he had never met anyone as brave as
I was.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It came as a complete surprise. Not only because those words
came from someone who had spent more than thirty years working as a safari
guide and driver, but also because nobody had ever described me that way
before. I had never thought about people in those terms, and I certainly had
never thought of myself as a brave person.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A few years after we started living together, he smiled and
said that he had finally figured me out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;You&#039;re afraid just like everyone else. The
difference is that fear doesn&#039;t stop you. When you decide something has to be
done, you do it. You&#039;re afraid, but you do it anyway.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I could agree with that because I recognised myself in his
words.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whenever I think about fear, one image has always filled me
with deep respect: the soldiers who stepped out onto the beaches of Normandy on
D-Day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am convinced they knew that only a few of them would
survive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Were they fearless?&amp;nbsp;I doubt it.&amp;nbsp;They believed they had to do what they were there to do.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Years ago, I watched a television interview with a
well-known rally driver. A journalist asked him whether he was ever afraid of
driving so fast.&amp;nbsp;&quot;Of course,&quot; he replied.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;He explained that fear is a signal. It tells you that going
any faster may leave you without enough time to react. Fear deserves respect.
That is why you should not drive any faster.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Again, fear had nothing to do with fearlessness.&amp;nbsp;Fear became something rational.&amp;nbsp;Almost a unit of measurement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After all these thoughts, I found myself translating the
word &lt;i&gt;courage&lt;/i&gt; into the language of the rational world.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The translation was simple.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Risk management.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is courage the absence of fear?&amp;nbsp;Are courage and fear simply two sides of the same coin?&amp;nbsp;Or does courage mean recognising the risks, choosing to act
anyway, while fear simply helps us see those risks?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s interesting how everything in the world seems to come
together. How one small place can suddenly make you realise how deeply
connected our world really is.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What surprises me even more is that it was Tanzania that
taught me—a Northern European with a strong European identity—to see the world
in a completely new way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;--------------------------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;About the Author:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The survey was the first nationwide wildlife census of its kind in a decade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the census results, Tanzania hosts an estimated 17,200 lions. South Africa follows with approximately 3,284 lions, Botswana with 3,064, Kenya with 2,515 and Zambia with 2,349.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The census also recorded around 328,000 African buffaloes, making Tanzania the continent&#039;s leading country for buffalo populations as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 113, 127);&quot;&gt;For visitors on safari, these numbers reflect the scale of Tanzania&#039;s protected ecosystems, which include world-famous destinations such as the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11599900/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Serengeti National Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 113, 127);&quot;&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11502564/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Nyerere National Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 113, 127);&quot;&gt;, Ruaha National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;For safari enthusiasts, healthy lion populations mean greater opportunities to observe one of Africa&#039;s most iconic predators in its natural habitat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;While wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, Tanzania remains one of the best places in Africa to encounter lions during a safari.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;According to information released by the Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute (&lt;b&gt;TAWIRI&lt;/b&gt;) and reported by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecitizen.co.tz/tanzania/news/national/tanzania-emerges-as-the-top-in-lion-and-buffalo-populations-5499632&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Citizen&lt;/a&gt;, the 2024/25 wildlife census found that Tanzania hosts Africa&#039;s largest lion population, estimated at approximately 17,200 lions.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;They are solitary and secretive, often resting in trees or disappearing into thick vegetation. &lt;b data-start=&quot;484&quot; data-end=&quot;534&quot;&gt;So where are you most likely to encounter one?&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗻𝘇𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗱?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mikumi National Park&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nyerere (Selous) National Park&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Serengeti National Park&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ngorongoro Crater&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ruaha National Park&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Katavi National Park&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tarangire National Park&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mkomazi National Park&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆!&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leopards are true masters of camouflage. During the day, they often rest in trees or hide in thick bush, blending in perfectly with their surroundings. When hunting, they stalk their prey quietly and strike with lightning speed. That’s why seeing a leopard on safari is always a special moment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p data-start=&quot;270&quot; data-end=&quot;514&quot; class=&quot;PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer&quot;&gt;&lt;span data-start=&quot;270&quot; data-end=&quot;514&quot;&gt;Leopards play a crucial role in African ecosystems, helping to maintain balance in nature. World Leopard Day reminds us how important it is to protect wildlife and their natural habitats – even when we admire them from behind a camera lens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://site-2270103.mozfiles.com/files/2270103/safari-stories-badge-eng-v1_webp.webp?1788335745&quot; class=&quot;moze-img-left&quot; style=&quot;width: 179px;&quot; alt=&quot;Safari Stories&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start; font-style: normal;&quot; class=&quot;moze-large&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tanzania offers boundless ways to discover Africa&#039;s natural wonders. The best safari destinations depend on your budget, experience level, and what you’re hoping to find.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start; font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start; font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;moze-large&quot;&gt;Are you looking to explore iconic, popular parks where you’ll see the most famous wildlife up close? Or perhaps an immersive wilderness with fewer tourists?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;moze-large&quot; style=&quot;text-align: start; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal&quot;&gt;For those seeking rare experiences off the beaten path, we have options for seasoned safari-goers too&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Explore three types of safari adventures in this guide for travelers&lt;/b&gt;, and discover which one is right for you. All our &lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11499020/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;sample itineraries&lt;/a&gt; can be customized to reflect your preferences and style, ensuring that your safari experience is uniquely yours.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;1. First-Time Safari Adventures: Tanzania’s Must-See Parks&lt;/h2&gt;If you’re venturing on safari for the first time, the famous parks of Tanzania are perfect. With iconic animals, world-renowned landscapes, and quality lodges, these parks offer the ultimate first impression of Africa.&lt;br&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11599952/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Serengeti National Park&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/b&gt; Imagine watching millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles sweeping across the plains during the world’s most famous migration. The Serengeti is also home to large predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs, creating exhilarating moments that feel like scenes from a nature documentary. Bird lovers will also find a paradise here, with over 500 species gracing the skies and grasslands.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11599900/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Ngorongoro Crater&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: Step into this UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Africa’s “Big Five” roam free. The crater’s unique, enclosed ecosystem allows for some of the most intimate wildlife encounters with lions, elephants, rhinos, and flamingos painting the lake shores with vibrant pinks.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/14100420/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Tarangire National Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: Known for its striking baobabs and massive elephant herds, Tarangire brings you close to Tanzania’s giant herbivores. During the dry season, antelopes and gazelles gather here, while over 550 bird species add to the park’s incredible diversity.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;moze-blockquote&quot;&gt;These parks provide an unforgettable introduction to Tanzania’s wildlife, giving you the best of what safari adventures have to offer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;h2&gt;2. For the Adventurer: Authentic Wilderness and Unique Experiences&lt;/h2&gt;If you prefer a more tranquil setting with fewer crowds, Tanzania’s lesser-known parks offer rich landscapes and unique experiences.&lt;br&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11502564/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Nyerere (Selous) National Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: Add a twist to the classic safari with a boat ride on the Rufiji River. Here, you’ll spot hippos and crocodiles close up and explore the territory of lions, leopards, elephants, and zebras. This vast park offers a rare sense of wilderness, ideal for those seeking a diverse experience far from the tourist trails.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11502562/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Mikumi National Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: Just a drive from Dar es Salaam, Mikumi is an accessible, budget-friendly choice. Perfect for a quick safari trip, Mikumi lets you encounter elephants, buffaloes, zebras, lions, and, if you’re lucky, cheetahs. Bird enthusiasts can revel in over 400 species.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;
&lt;span data-start=&quot;281&quot; data-end=&quot;306&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/14100633/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mkomazi National Park&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is one of Tanzania’s lesser-known wildlife destinations, offering a more peaceful safari experience away from the larger tourist crowds. The park is home to elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, lions and leopards, as well as the black rhino sanctuary and African wild dog conservation centre. Mkomazi is a good choice for travellers who want to explore a quieter part of Tanzania and experience wildlife in a less visited setting.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ruaha National Park&lt;/b&gt;: Known for its stunning landscapes, Ruaha is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, featuring abundant populations of lions, leopards, and hyenas, alongside herds of elephants, giraffes, and antelopes. The peaceful atmosphere and impressive bird diversity make it ideal for a private safari experience.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11502563/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Udzungwa Mountains National Park&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: For an adventurous twist, Udzungwa offers trekking trails through lush forests and breathtaking waterfall views. Here, you’ll encounter rare primate species, various antelopes, and colorful birdlife. This park is ideal for travelers who want a more active experience and a glimpse into Tanzania’s unique mountain ecosystems.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;moze-blockquote&quot;&gt;In these parks, you can fully immerse yourself in Tanzania’s wilderness, experiencing close encounters and the raw beauty of nature.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;h2&gt;3. For Seasoned Safari Travelers: Unforgettable, Unique Safari Destinations&lt;/h2&gt;If you’ve already experienced the classic safari, these lesser-known gems offer something completely different and truly unforgettable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gombe National Park:&lt;/b&gt; Known worldwide for its chimpanzees, Gombe provides an exceptional experience where you can hike in forested mountains to observe chimps in their natural habitat. Follow in the footsteps of Jane Goodall, who conducted her groundbreaking research here.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kitulo National Park&lt;/b&gt;: Known as the “Serengeti of Flowers,” Kitulo is a botanical wonder with a dazzling array of wild orchids, daisies, and other blooms. It’s ideal for travelers looking for a peaceful and unique safari alternative that showcases Tanzania’s floral diversity.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mafia Island: &lt;/b&gt;Swap the savannah for the sea and swim with gentle whale sharks in the Indian Ocean. This exclusive “ocean safari” destination also offers snorkeling, diving, and a chance to discover vibrant marine life up close.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;moze-blockquote&quot;&gt;These locations offer truly unique experiences that even the most experienced safari-goers will cherish, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;from mountain hikes with chimps to serene ocean encounters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Which Tanzania Safari Experience is Right for You?&lt;/h2&gt;Whether you’re drawn to the Big Five, seeking an authentic safari experience, or looking to add extraordinary destinations to your travel bucket list, Tanzania offers a perfect match. &lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11499021/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Start your journey with us&lt;/a&gt; and uncover the beauty and diversity of Tanzania’s landscapes and wildlife.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;b style=&quot;text-align: start; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://site-2270103.mozfiles.com/files/2270103/company-news-badge-eng-v1_webp.webp?1788336524&quot; class=&quot;moze-img-left&quot; style=&quot;width: 185px;&quot; alt=&quot;Tanzania Safari Experts – ROM &amp;amp; DACE SAFARIS Company News&quot;&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start; font-style: normal;&quot; class=&quot;moze-large&quot;&gt;Meet Roman Shirima, founder of our family owned Tanzanian safari business, &lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11499021/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Tanzania Safari Experts – ROM &amp;amp; DACE SAFARIS&lt;/a&gt;, and an experienced safari driver-guide.

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: start; font-style: normal;&quot; class=&quot;moze-large&quot;&gt;Roman, a native of the Kilimanjaro region and a member of the Chaga tribe, has spent his entire professional life in tourism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;His deep knowledge of Tanzania’s national parks and his experience working with travelers make him an exceptional guide for exploring the country’s wildlife.&lt;br&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;How did you get into the tourism industry?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;My journey in tourism started when I was young. After completing driving school, I began working as a driver. One day, I received an offer that changed my life. A Tanzanian tour company owner invited me to join his team as a safari driver-guide. This meant I would drive tourists to the national parks and introduce them to Tanzania’s wildlife. That was over 20 years ago, and since then, I’ve been actively working in tourism, helping travelers from all over the world experience the wonders of Tanzania’s nature.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I’ve always had a love for wildlife, and this job gives me the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the national parks. Every safari is unique, and that&#039;s one of the reasons I enjoy it so much.&lt;br&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;What makes a safari so special?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;Before the COVID-19 pandemic, we often conducted cross-border safaris, adding trips to Malawi and Mozambique. In recent years, together with &lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11499048/params/post/4637246/our-story-an-interview-with-dace-zandfelde/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Dace Zandfelde&lt;/a&gt;, who is also a passionate traveler, we’ve explored Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. These experiences allow us to broaden our horizons and offer even more enriching adventures to our guests.&lt;br&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is working with international tourists challenging?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;I see it more as an enriching experience. Working with tourists from different parts of the world has given me the opportunity to learn about their cultures, and sometimes even pick up words in various languages. I’ve worked with guests from Europe, North America, Asia, and other regions, but in recent years, most of my clients have come from Belgium, Germany, France, and Italy. Every interaction is an opportunity to exchange knowledge, and that’s one of the greatest joys of my job.&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;What should travelers know about Tanzania?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;Tanzania is a country that offers not only stunning natural beauty but also a rich cultural heritage. One of the most extraordinary experiences in Tanzania is the Great Migration in the &lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11599952/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Serengeti National Park&lt;/a&gt;. This natural phenomenon, where millions of wildebeest and zebras migrate in search of food, is truly unforgettable. It’s a spectacular display of nature that draws wildlife enthusiasts from around the world.&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Which places would you recommend visiting in Tanzania?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;There are so many unforgettable places to visit in Tanzania. My top recommendations include Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and, of course, Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. Zanzibar, with its white sandy beaches and rich history, is another great destination where you can enjoy the beauty of the Indian Ocean. I also highly recommend visiting &lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11502564/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;Nyerere National Park&lt;/a&gt; (formerly known as Selous Game Reserve), which is the largest national park in Africa. There, you can take a boat ride along the Rufiji River, offering a completely different experience compared to the Serengeti plains.&lt;br&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;What are some must-see places in Dar es Salaam?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;Dar es Salaam is Tanzania’s largest city and a major cultural and economic hub. For those interested in exploring Tanzania’s history and culture, I suggest visiting the National Museum and the Village Museum (Ethnographic Museum), where you can learn about the roots of Swahili culture. If you&#039;re looking for souvenirs, the Mwenge Carvings Market is a fantastic place to find authentic handcrafted items.&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Karibu – Welcome to Tanzania!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;At &lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11499021/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;our safari company&lt;/a&gt;, we believe that a trip to Tanzania is more than just a journey – it’s an opportunity to experience unforgettable moments, connect with the rhythms of nature, and discover the soul of Tanzania. I look forward to helping you explore this amazing land and experience its breathtaking natural beauty.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

giving you the chance to experience the vast savannahs and abundant 
wildlife, or opt for a longer &lt;a href=&quot;/m/page/11599900/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;5-day tour that covers the entire Northern Circuit&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Serengeti National Park&lt;/b&gt; is 
world-famous for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, 
zebras, and antelopes move across the plains in search of fresh grass. 
This attracts predators like lions and cheetahs, offering spectacular 
wildlife viewing opportunities. The 5-day tour also includes a visit to 
the &lt;b&gt;Ngorongoro Crater&lt;/b&gt;, the world’s largest volcanic caldera, where you can see wildlife in a unique and beautiful landscape.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, you will explore &lt;b&gt;Tarangire National Park&lt;/b&gt;,
 known for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. During the 
dry season, many animals gather around the Tarangire River, making it an
 excellent place for wildlife watching. Another highlight is &lt;b&gt;Lake Manyara National Park&lt;/b&gt;, with its lush greenery and diverse birdlife, including thousands of flamingos that inhabit the lake.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whichever
 tour you choose, we guarantee top-notch service and experienced guides 
who will make your safari unforgettable. Visit &lt;a href=&quot;/safari-offers/&quot; target=&quot;_self&quot;&gt;our website&lt;/a&gt; and book your
