Luxury Tanzania Vacation Review: Serengeti, Zanzibar, Safari, Beach, Wildlife, 12-Night Tour

Reflecting back, we really came to understand that there was a lot we didn't know going into this trip. Without that knowledge, it is hard to know what questions to ask and adjustments to make before you're in the middle of it all. Safari days can be long (maybe longer than you'd like some days), so maybe you only want to do morning drives some days and use some of the afternoons to relax/recharge. Some of our activities were much more intense than we expected, e.g. hunting with the Hadzabe was 8 miles through the bush, avoiding briars and just trying to keep up - not for the faint of heart (or short of breath)! Our beach accommodation was very nice, but on the less nice side of Zanzibar (our beach was rocky while the "white sands" were around the corner - we might've opted to stay in a different place if we'd known that.
