About Tanzania

With over 38% of its territory declared national park, game reserve, or conservation area land, Tanzania is home to some of the best game-viewing parks in Africa.

In the north there is the legendary Ngorongoro Crater and it's 30,000 hooved mammals, the Serengeti's amazing migration of around two million wildebeest, zebra, Grant's and Thomson's gazelles, to the lesser known, nearby parks of picturesque Tarangire National Park with its annual elephant migration in the dry season, and Lake Manyara National Park with it's birdlife, tree-climbing lions and elephants.

In the south there are the giant Selous Game Reserve, Nyerere National Park and Ruaha National Park.

In the west Katavi National Park is almost never visited despite plentiful lions and huge buffalo and hippo herds, and Mahale Mountains National Park offers what it probably the best primate encounter going.

​​As well as safaris, Northern Tanzania also has some world-class treks: with some excellent less-used routes up the well-known and popular (possibly too popular) Mount Kilimanjaro to the roof of Africa at Uhuru peak, some 5895 metres above sea level, and the lower (4566 metres) but steeper Mount Meru. In addition to all this, we can also organise trips or donkey treks to across the Ngorongoro highlands to Empakai Crater and through the Rift Valley to Lake Natron. ​

And then there are the stunning, exotic Tanzanian Indian Ocean Islands, just off the coast of Tanzania, which are fantastic for beach extensions after your safari, as well as for stand alone beach holidays combined with cultural explorations, snorkelling and diving.
