Stunning Opportunities to Experience Africa
As Naples Zoo's 2023 safaris prepare to depart this summer and fall, we're reviewing experiences for next year's itineraries. Our May 2024 departure will align with Naples Zoo's last decade of East African safaris combining wonderful locations with Africa's delightful lodges - with some added upgrades! Our fall 2024 itinerary is the no-compromise safari for those interested in experiencing the very best available in Tanzania for an exclusive group of travelers. Naples Zoo safaris are custom crafted by our Director of Conservation Tim Tetzlaff who has coordinated our travel programs for over a decade and personally hosts your adventure including connecting you with our conservation efforts in Africa. As the son of Zoo founders, he brings a lifetime of stories and wildlife experiences to your safari.
If one of these times does not meet your travel needs or times, we can arrange a private safari experience through our partners Safari Professionals and Luxe Travel Consultants. While you will not have our Naples Zoo hosts, you'll be sure to return with wonderful memories of your time in Africa! Contact Theresa at 239.777.0253.

Let your imagination wander
Lions surveying the endless expanse of their Serengeti kingdom. Endless lines of wildebeest following the rains. Herds of elephants casually plucking grasses. Flocks of flamingos ringing alkaline lakes. Colobus monkeys leaping overhead. Hippos grunting and spraying river water. Cheetahs atop termite mounds readying for the chase. Leopards camouflaged in their treetop perches. Troops of baboons ambling in the forests. Giraffes eating at thorny acacia trees. Breathtaking sunsets. These and many more are now the lifelong memories of the travelers who’ve joined Naples Zoo on safari and ones like it await you on this itinerary! This unforgettable 12 Days is available for 18 adults at $12,995 per person.

If you’re interested in joining this safari, call Theresa Perez at 239-777-0253 or email her at [email protected].
NOTE: As every land safari in Tanzania experiences, African roads can be very rough as vehicles go about observing Tanzania's natural wonders. This itinerary includes one internal flight.

A SAFARI LIKE NO OTHER
Over our years hosting safaris, we have observed the ebbs and flows of safari days and the hard choices made to balance cost and experience. But for those who prefer not to make those compromises when traveling, we rebuilt this safari from the foundation up. While retaining the superlatives of previous itineraries, we focused on crafting a new safari for a select few with the highest level of experiences and luxury including premier Singita accommodations.
You will be hosted by our Director of Conservation who has a lifetime of wildlife experiences as the son of Naples Zoo's founders who will be joined by an extraordinary co-host: Dr. Laly Lichtenfeld. A 20+ year resident of Tanzania, Dr. Lichtenfeld is the CEO and co-founder of African People and Wildlife as well as being a National Geographic Explorer. We dramatically limited this safari to just six couples and included four in-country flights to add prime viewing time and enable you to explore more secluded wildlife-rich private areas as well as other upgraded offerings. We have also arranged for the president of Africa Nature Photography & Safaris, Anglebert
Pantaleo, to start our safari to help make sure you get those perfect shots. You’re also making an impact as 100% of safari proceeds benefit the Naples Zoo Conservation Fund to save species in the wild. If you’ve wanted to see some of the very best that Tanzania has to offer while still taking in the true spirit of safari, this just may be the excursion for you. We hope you can join us. Africa as you've never seen it awaits...
Plus stateside, you'll get the professional service of Tom LaRock, Chief Exploration Officer of Safari Professionals, who crafts these custom itineraries with Tetzlaff as well as Theresa Perez at Luxe Travel Consultants in Naples who has worked with Naples Zoo for our travel programs for over ten years. We will also host a pre-trip meet and greet dinner where you can get to know your fellow travelers and have all your questions answered. And a few months after you return stateside, you can relive your African memories at a reunion party at Naples Zoo!
This unforgettable 12 Days is available for six adult couples
at $27,995 per person.
