Tanzania safaris; ultimate safari and beach in one itinerary

The East African country of Tanzania is fascinating and wonderful in so many respects, from its geographical location and features to the wealth of life and culture that it nurtures. There is a range of potential for world-class safaris, either in the highly renowned northern circuit, the southen parks or chimpanzee trekking in the lesser visited Mahale National Park.

Tanzania safaris

An impressive 14% of this country’s landmass is dedicated to protected conservation areas, and with a relatively small number of lodges and camps, Tanzania provides countless opportunities for rewarding and above all, private safari experiences. Accommodation tends to be in small, intimate and excellently run safari lodges and hotels, with various options for well-appointed nights under canvas in the midst of the action.

Northern Safaris

The massive, apparently endless expanse of the Serengeti National Park adjoins a much greater 'circuit' of National Parks, game reserves and Conservation areas in the North, devised to protect the largest intact migratory system in the world, and this is a truly stunning and fascinating part of the world.

Most visitors to these northern parks tend to experience this region as a mobile safari, driving through the parks in a regulation closed-sided, open-topped landrover. Safaris explore this extraordinary volcanic region in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, taking in the Ngorogoro Conservation Area, and often following the path of The Great Migration.

Southern Tanzania

The South of Tanzania provides an entirely different landscape for safaris and wildlife, and determines a different experience and approach. Most visitors fly into individual camps or lodges, and stay for a longer period of time. This allows for a greater exploration of the area, usually in open-sided vehicles, but also by walking, boating, (in the Selous), and tracking local wildlife with resident guides.

Highlights of Tanzania

The Serengeti is one of the world’s most famous National Parks, The Selous the largest protected wildlife area worldwide, Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain, Tanganyika is one of the world’s deepest lakes. With marine parks, coral reefs and beaches to rival global alternatives it is hard to make time for the lesser-known subtleties of this dramatic and surprisingly under-visited East African land. Guided walks, cultural tourism, town visits and island and mountain excursions are highly recommended as part of grander itineraries!

Tanzania's People

It is a country brimming with a fascinating history that lives on in the people and politics of today. Culturally diverse, the 129 tribal peoples of Tanzania now speak the same language and live shoulder to shoulder, united by language and colourful khangas, enduring, wide-smiling and vibrant. A hard-won sense of national unity underlies all differences and visitors are tangibly welcomed with pride, such that each trip is coloured by the warmth of those who illuminate their land and inheritance.
