Tanzania is East Africa's principle wildlife safari destination and offers a variety of different safaris, from the well trodden paths of wildlife and migration safaris in the Serengeti and Selous to the more adventurous and less busy Parks of southern and western Tanzania. We specialise in combined Tanzania safaris to see both the savannah game and the big five of the plains and the chimpanzees of western Tanzania and also Tanzania Honeymoon Safaris.
Tanzania is home to some of the most breathtaking wildlife viewing and tracking in Africa if not the world. A Tanzania safari to Serengeti National Park or to explore the Ngorongoro Crater offers the wildlife enthusiast an up close and personal wildlife experience with the chance of seeing the Big Five in their natural environment.
25% of the country is protected by national parks which are estimated to support approximately 20% of Africa's mammal population playing host to one of the most spectacular wildlife experiences, the wildebeest migration! With over 1,130 bird species and more being discovered annually, Tanzania also has the second largest diversity of bird species recorded (after DRC).
Tourism infrastructure in Tanzania is ahead of most African nations with good roads, an excellent and wide variety of accommodation from mobile tented camps to luxury lodges. The most common and most dramatic itinerary takes approximately 14 days and takes in such highlights as the savannah game of the Serengeti National Park, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater and the pristine beaches of Zanzibar Island...Aside from this there are a number of other rarely visited but equally stunning wildlife wilderness destinations such as Katavi National Park and the Mahale Mountains which are home to habituated chimpanzees.
What to expect on your Tanzania Safari: Nowadays the choice of safaris and different types of accommodation in Tanzania are too vast to cover in a website; from mobile tented camps to luxury eco-lodges the choice is remarkable. Budget to luxury the choice is endless. Tanzania acts as a launch pad to a number of possible primate itineraries in the southern and western circuits and can be easily combined with a Uganda or Rwanda gorilla safari or a holiday on the wonderful beaches of Zanzibar.
