LGBTQIA+ influencers Danielle & Anna Parlagreco (@itsvabene) hail from Rome, a married couple dedicated to showcasing pink travel and sharing it with their community of over 140,000 followers. They’re well-travelled and always in search of connection, freedom of self-expression, and adventures that will leave an indelible mark. Tanzania, with its iconic wildlife and breathtaking landscapes, was high on their bucket list, but like many travellers, they had questions about visiting Africa. At I Artist Adventure, we understand the importance of creating safe and inclusive travel experiences for LGBTQIA+ travellers. We believe that everyone deserves the chance to explore the beauty of Tanzania’s wilderness while feeling celebrated and supported. That’s why we curated a tailored safari experience for Danielle & Anna, ensuring their journey would highlight both the grandeur of Tanzania and its welcoming atmosphere.

A Tailor-Made Tanzanian Safari Adventure

After carefully planning their adventure, Danielle & Anna arrived in Tanzania, a land famous for its stunning landscapes, rich wildlife, and vibrant culture. Every moment of their journey with I Artist Adventure was crafted to celebrate the diversity of this incredible country, from the awe-inspiring wildlife to the inclusivity felt in the heart of Tanzanian communities.

The Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater: Wonders of Tanzania’s Wildlife

Their adventure began in the iconic Serengeti, where they witnessed the incredible wildlife that makes Tanzania a premier safari destination. From the expansive plains teeming with wildlife to the dramatic landscapes of the Ngorongoro Crater, their days were filled with magical safari moments. At I Artist Adventure, we pride ourselves on providing not just a safari, but a fully immersive experience that connects travellers with both nature and local culture. On game drives, Danielle & Anna encountered the famous Big Five—lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos—along with countless other animals in their natural habitats. Their expert guides shared deep insights into Tanzania’s ecosystems, making every moment on safari an educational and unforgettable experience.

Luxury Lodging with a Personal Touch

After a thrilling day of game viewing, they retired to the luxurious lodges we selected for their stay, where they enjoyed the finest comforts while still feeling deeply connected to the natural surroundings. Whether staying at the Serengeti Migration Camp, nestled in the heart of the Serengeti’s migratory path, or the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, perched on the edge of one of the most famous craters in the world, every accommodation was designed to blend luxury with nature, ensuring an authentic yet indulgent experience. Their stay with us also included visits to cultural villages where they interacted with local Maasai and Hadzabe tribes. These cultural experiences provided a deeper understanding of the rich heritage and traditions that have been preserved in Tanzania for centuries, adding an enriching dimension to their safari journey.

Zanzibar: Relaxation and Exploration on a Dream Island

No safari would be complete without a visit to Zanzibar, and for Danielle & Anna, this coastal escape was the perfect way to unwind after their wildlife adventure. Known for its pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and historical Stone Town, Zanzibar is a tropical paradise that seamlessly blends relaxation with exploration. They spent their days lounging on white-sand beaches, exploring the spice plantations, and immersing themselves in the rich history of this unique island. Zanzibar’s welcoming spirit and vibrant culture made it an ideal place to reflect on their safari experience and enjoy the diverse offerings of Tanzania. From beachfront resorts to intimate boutique hotels, I Artist Adventure carefully selects accommodations that cater to the needs of our LGBTQIA+ travellers, ensuring they feel at home wherever they go.

Connecting with Nature and Wildlife at Tarangire National Park

The final part of their journey took them to Tarangire National Park, a less-visited gem in Tanzania that offers incredible wildlife sightings, including large elephant herds and diverse birdlife. The park’s dense acacia trees and dry riverbeds provide a unique safari experience that is both serene and full of adventure. Our guides led Danielle & Anna on walking safaris and game drives, where they had the opportunity to observe animals in a different light, learning more about Tanzania's delicate ecosystem. Tarangire’s beauty, along with its connection to the local communities, gave them one last chance to reflect on the journey they had taken across Tanzania.
