About this trip

During our all-inclusive Plus Size Tanzania Tour, you'll visit three of the best wildlife-watching destinations in the world. You'll see the UNESCO-protected Ngorongoro Crater, the Tarangire National Park, and the expansive plains of the Serengeti. 


We've taken the stress out of planning the vacation of your dreams. Not only will you get a taste of Tanzania. You'll stay in luxury hotels and experience two unforgettable safari eco-lodges. 


During this 7-day all-inclusive adventure, you'll explore Tanzania with one of our Tour Leaders. Go for daily game drives (safaris) and get up close with some of the most magnificent animals on earth. If you're in luck you'll see Africa's Big Five - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. 


Your tour leader and Tanzania expert, Gilbert met Fat Girls Traveling founder, Annette on a tour in 2022. The two hit it off immediately and have remained friends since. Learning that less than 15% of safaris in Africa are Black-owned is one of many things that inspired Annette to curate this tour. 


There are only 5 spots available on the Plus Size Tanzania Tour. Annual Members of The Fat Girls Traveling Network will receive early access and a 10% discount.

There are not enough words or emotions to describe my trip with Annette! It was my first time out of the country. She coordinated this trip with experiences I’ll never be able to repeat. The cenote, the beaches, the yacht trip, the food, the tour guide and the friendships I made in 5 days! The day to Chichen Itza was fabulous. It was magical, it was memorable and it was breathtaking! Annette made sure each of us were comfortable, safe and had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful! I will definitely travel again with her! Tulum, playa del Carmen, the cenote, Umaya, and did I mention the food! I’ve made new friends, made new memories and have experienced emotions of never felt before! I’d give it 10 stars!!

This was my second trip with Annette and FGT. I loved it! My only complaint is that it was over too soon. Annette planned this retreat meticulously, with intention and a special focus on providing an experience that was chill but adventurous. The adventures we went on - a cenote, a day out on a private yacht with snorkeling, Chichen Itza, etc. - were all focused on experiencing less touristy parts of Mexico and grounding us in culture and history. We ate local food and went to places off the beaten path. We also had plenty of time to float in our private pool, do art, hang out and chat, and just enjoy ourselves. Just like on my previous trip with FGT, I've made friends for life. At this point, I'd travel anywhere in the world with Annette and FGT!

I had such an amazing time at fat Camp this year. This is my second time attending and I have yet to be disappointed. Not only does Annette curate a well rounded trip, she remembers small touches that make you feel special. there was wine tasting, sailing, impromptu singing, drag queens and nightly chats by the fire. Most importantly, I got to be in community with some incredibly lovely women and can't wait to do it all again. I've become accustomed to treating myself to this yearly excursion and look forward to what Fat Camp offers in 2024.

A truly amazing experience! I felt comfortable, seen, and supported. Annette did such a brilliant job at curating a fantastic getaway in the Finger Lakes. The food was magnificent. The entertainment was outstanding. Our activities were well paced and inclusive. Most importantly, the other attendees were a delight. I plan to travel with Annette again in the near future!

Fat Camp Scotland was a dream come true! We spent our time on a beautiful farm in Scotland and glamped in little individual cabins. The accommodations were so cute and cozy and just perfect. We took a few day tours, ate delicious food, had a private driver, a witchy photoshoot, and spent time talking, writing, and just focusing on ourselves. It was so beautiful and so needed. Annette was a lovely host who thought of literally everything. Could not recommend enough!
