Tanzania has some amazing national parks (with wildlife). Nearly 40% of the country's territory is dedicated to them.

You can explore them on your own, but when I was planning the trip, it didn't seem like a great idea (at least not for the first time). Fortunately, local companies offer tons of ready-made safari routes (depending on your budget and preferences).

For safaris, they use customized extended cruisers (occasionally rovers) with enlarged fuel tanks and pop-up roofs (not like convertible tops, but literally rising up). The guide told me that customization costs can reach $80,000 (astronomical money for locals; on Zanzibar you can buy a decent house for $20k).

The white beauty in the photo is going to be my best friend for the next few days.
