A Tanzania Safari is something special, whatever your
age, budget, safari experience or interests. This is a region of
incredible natural beauty, with some of the best and most
varied game-viewing locations in the world. Nearly 20% of this vast and
spectacular country is protected for wildlife viewing, and it is easy
and worthwhile to explore different landscapes within one holiday
itinerary. Furthermore, there are excellent places to stay within
incredible wildlife areas - a winning combination!
Tanzanian Safaris can take many forms, and these depend on your
interests and inclinations. We specialise in providing you with the
finest safari experiences, in absolute comfort and style, whatever style
or type of accommodation you wish to incorporate into your itinerary.
Northern Tanzania Safaris in brief
The world-renowned parks in the north, around the Serengeti, rightfully earn their fame and especially if you are there to witness the herds of the Great Migration or take a balloon or riding safari across the plains. The escarpment of the Great Rift Valley creates a dramatic volcanic landscape, and some of the most fertile grazing grounds on earth; thus this is home to the largest herds on the planet, and the highest concentration of predators in Africa.

The Ngorongoro Crater is reliably rewarding for wildlife action,
although it gets crowded and for this reason we recommend a brief visit,
but the wider conservation area is fascinating and very worthwhile as a
cultural and historical experience. This is the land of the Maasai
tribe, who are allowed to live and farm within the Ngorongoro
Conservation Area in as traditional a manner as is possible for nomadic
tribes in the modern world. It is also the site of Olduvai Gorge, where
Professor Leakey discovered the earliest known footprints of hominoid
man. This region is best combined with other northern Tanzanian parks,
in a diverse itinerary.
Southern Tanzania Safaris in brief
Tanzania’s lesser known southern parks are superb safari destinations in their own right, and combine well with each other to create exciting wildlife itineraries. The best regions here include the Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park and the more expensive and less-visited western areas of Katavi and Mahale Mountains National Parks.

The best regions here include the Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park and the more expensive and less-visited western areas of Katavi and Mahale Mountains National Parks.
These parks provide superb opportunities for walking, boating and
fly-camping nights, and there are highly recommended, small and good
quality accommodation options here.
Each of these four, key areas are incredibly different from each other;
Selous is riverine and water-based, Katavi and Ruaha are vast, dry and
more remote. Mahale Mountains is a walking park on the banks of Lake
Tanganyika, and an incredible place to experience a chimpanzee safari.
