Tanzania
Untamed country of diverse landscapes
Being the largest country in East Africa, Tanzania offers a variety of wildlife, cultures, landscapes and some of the best island and beach experiences.
Overview
Tanzania is blessed with vast natural beauty, incredible wildlife, seductive beaches, ancient towns, archaeological sites and geological wonders.
Holidays to Tanzania are often grouped into different zones:
Northern Safari Circuit
By far, the most popular Tanzania safari route made up of the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Kilimanjaro.
The Coast and Islands
Tanzania’s beaches and islands like Zanzibar, are breath-taking and very accessible.
Southern Tanzania Circuit
This includes Nyerere National Park and Ruaha, Tanzania’s best-kept safari secrets.
Western Tanzania Circuit
Embraces the parks along Lake Tanganyika, the western border of Tanzania with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Tanzania is the ideal blend of bush and beach. Visitors can spend time across the Serengeti plains and end their trip with a serene beach experience in Zanzibar.

Serengeti

Ngorongoro Crater
This crater, out of dead volcano, houses 30 000 animals, wetlands, forest, grasslands and awesome cliff-top lodges.
Tarangire
Close to Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire is a diverse wilderness of forests, swamps and open woodlands that include iconic baobab trees.
Lake Manyara
The park is home to the big five and is an exceptional bird-watching destination- its common to see flocks of pelicans and flamingos in the middle of the lake.
Zanzibar
Zanzibar is your go to destination for glorious beaches and coral reefs, dhow (traditional boat) trips at sunset, and exploring fragrant back-street markets.
Kilimanjaro
Standing at 5895 metres, Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain. Whether you’re content with standing in its mighty shadow or yearn to climb to its icy summit, you’ll love it.
Ruaha
Ruaha is the ‘other park’ on the Southern circuit. It’s relative inaccessibility means it gets far fewer tourists than Nyerere and less than any comparable park in the Northern circuit.
Nyerere
Now the Largest National Park in Africa, Nyerere National Park is a newly established Park which is part of what was popularly known as Selous Game Reserve.
Mahale Mountains
The world’s longest freshwater lake is hemmed in by the mountainous walls of the Great Rift Valley and is ideal for tropical rainforest wildlife viewing and chimpanzee trekking.
