This 3-day Tanzania safari exceeded my expectations! The tour was well-organized, and we were able to explore three different national parks. Each day brought new sights and animals, and the guide's expertise made a huge difference in spotting animals like lions, cheetahs, and even elusive leopards. The lodges were cozy, with great food and excellent service. I would highly recommend this safari for anyone with limited time looking for a true Tanzanian wildlife experience
