Tanzania A Wildlife and Culture Safari for Women

October 18-29, 2014

My first trip to Africa included many surprises; the sense of space, such vastness and the closeness of the wildlife.  I thought I would enjoy wildlife-viewing from a distance and with binoculars in hand…but no, the wildlife was not out in the distance, I was literally surrounded by the most amazing sights!  

My upcoming  October 18, 2014  journey to Tanzania will not only include Ngorongoro Crater, a self-contained ecosystem teeming with wildlife but will include meeting members of the Enjipai Women’s Group, a group of Maasai women – with a great entrepreneurial sprit.

 I invite you to join me on this special journey to Tanzania,  we will meet local representatives providing cultural and intellectual insights as we explore this extraordinary country.  As always our groups are small, creating a more intimate travel experience.

 Please take a look at the full itinerary:  Tatten_Tanzania_2014[1]

Note:  this is not a women only trip.
