A Luxury African Safari

Tanzania & Zanzibar


Trip Testimonials

  • “I recently took part in the Grace in Nature retreat to Tanzania, and I found my experience to be both powerful and deeply personal. This trip was a safari, and when one understands that "safari" (Swahili) translates to "journey," a better understanding of this retreat ensues. For me, this journey explored parts of the rich and diverse land of Tanzania. The unique offerings of this country can be appreciated through the welcoming spirit of the people and the pleasant smiles received every day. The genuine, positive greetings reflect a national pride and goodwill toward travelers. I could not have imagined such welcoming hosts. As we traveled through the savanna and other biomes, we witnessed a rich diversity of animals in close proximity. Every day of this journey was a new and exciting adventure. Our guides were caring, knowledgeable, engaging, and professional. They became a welcome addition to our everyday experience. The vast landscape held a variety of both plants and animals. Feeling an Acacia tree’s thorns up close adds to the perplexity of how a giraffe eats the tree's leaves. When I saw wildebeests as far as I could see over the horizon, and then watched them move across the grassland, I began to understand the breadth of the Serengeti. After traveling through the parks, there was always a comfortable respite to relax, reflect on the day, and recharge for the next tour the following day. For me, I am continually in awe of what I witnessed. It is not about the destination of Tanzania but the journey through the experience. This was an adventure of a lifetime!!”

  • "I was reluctant to go on safari, but I’m so glad I decided to go. The trip was fantastic, and we were lucky to experience Karen’s vision for a safari expedition that truly delivered. The guides, all four of them, were beyond competent—they were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and we felt safe in their hands the entire time. The safari exceeded all my expectations. Seeing all of the animals of the Serengeti up close truly “blew my mind!” Plus, the people we interacted with in Tanzania were lovely, friendly, and welcoming. Of course, the accommodations were superb—luxury and beauty at every stop throughout the excursion. If given the chance, don’t hesitate to go on Karen’s next trip to Africa. With great appreciation for this opportunity to experience such a life-enriching journey, I thank Karen."

  • "My recent African Safari trip with Grace in Nature was the trip of a lifetime. Grace in Nature partnered with the unbeatable Lion King Adventures to deliver a week of wild safaris through numerous Tanzanian National Parks, filled with sightings of every animal you could imagine—up close, in the bush. Endless exciting sightings of elephants, giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles, male and female lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, hippos, black rhinos, jackals, hyenas, baboons, and numerous wild birds, just to name a few, in their natural habitat, were breathtaking. Complete with outstanding lodging, delicious meals three times a day, and an amazing sunrise balloon ride over the Serengeti, this trip was a dream come true. It should be on anyone’s bucket list who dreams of a safe and fantastic safari adventure."
