Is there a better place in Africa to view wildlife? Rambling through the bush in an open-topped vehicle is the image that springs to mind most when people think about Africa. And there is no better place to go on safari than Tanzania. The sense of anticipation, as you set off at daybreak. Never knowing what lies around the next corner or behind the next tree. Perhaps a lion in a tree, a leopard sloping off through the bush or a herd of elephants majestically crossing the plains it s the thrill of the chase that keeps you going back for more.
