Tanzania Safaris

Tanzania is known to provide top-notch and engaging safari experiences with its Big Five wildlife and renowned Great Migration. Guests can indulge in an unparalleled expedition to the extensive plains of the Serengeti or the unique geological formation of Ngorongoro Crater, where the concentration of wildlife is unmatched. Apart from conventional sightseeing, Tanzania undertakes a wide variety of activities that range from the serenity of balloon flights over an African dawn to the exhilaration of tracking chimpanzees in exotic thick forests.

The Great Migration in Tanzania and Iconic Game Drives

The highlight of the Tanzanian safari is undoubtedly the Great Migration. This spectacle includes millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles in their migration across the Serengeti. Although the migration is continuous throughout the year, the most spectacular scenes occur between June and October, when the herds are seen crossing rivers filled with crocodiles in the north. For a different kind of exhilaration, a Ngorongoro Crater game drive will take you to the largest unbroken caldera in the world. This natural amphitheater is a sanctuary to over 25,000 larger animals, making it the prominent place to see the endangered black rhino, the majestic lion, and the huge elephants.

Hot Air Balloon Safaris, Walking Safaris, and Night Game Drives Adventures in Tanzania

To get an idea of the scale of the landscape, a hot air balloon safari at dawn offers an unbeatable birds-eye view of the Serengeti or Tarangire National Parks, with the option of a champagne breakfast in the bush to top it off. For the more terrestrial-minded, walking safaris with armed guards enable a closer look at the smaller details of the ecosystem, such as spotting animal tracks and medicinal plants. The adventure does not stop at the onset of night with night game drives through parks such as Lake Manyara or Tarangire, rare chances to catch a glimpse of the nocturnal activities of predators such as leopards and hyenas on the hunt.

Primate Tracking in Tanzania and Water-Based Safaris 

Tanzania also offers some of the best chimpanzee tracking in the unspoiled jungles of Gombe Stream or Mahale Mountains. Trekking through these unspoiled jungles to view our closest relatives in their natural habitat is an awe-inspiring experience. To offer a change of pace and experience, canoe trips or boat cruises on the Rufiji River in Nyerere National Park or Lake Manyara offer peaceful ways to view hippos, crocodiles, and other varied bird life. 

Cultural Immersion and Active Expeditions

Besides the wildlife, Tanzania also boasts a variety of cultures, which can be experienced by visiting the villages of the Maasai tribe and the Hadzabe people, where tourists can get to learn about the ancient cultures of these tribes. For the physically fit, the highlight of your Tanzania Safari Holiday could be climbing the highest peak in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, for the breathtaking experience; however, if you’d rather avoid the crowds, a similar peak called Mount Meru offers the same views without the crowds of people. To end off the trip, you can visit Arusha for a coffee tour and Arusha City Tour for historic and gemstone experiences.
