The Serengeti Tanzania safari is a tall tale of African wildlife delight. The park is one of the world’s renowned wildlife sanctuaries with thousands of game spread across the grass-ridden plains of the park. It is the oldest park in Tanzania and one of the few UNESCO World Heritage sites. He also visited Ngorongoro Crater which is the world’s largest caldera, spanning over a hundred square miles, 12 miles wide, and 2,000 feet deep.
