And once you’ve got your eye trained on the treetops, you’ll be in for a chance of spotting these elusive creatures as you make tracks through the park.Afterward, you'll head to Stone Town.

There's also a pit stop at the Tanzanite Museum, where you'll explore the history of Tanzania's famous Tanzanite gemstone, a unique treasure found only in the country.Meanwhile, your guide will fill you in on popular inhabitants such as Princess Salme, Farrokh Bulsara and Bi Kidude.
