Tanzania is East Africa's principle wildlife holiday destination and offers a selection of holidays, from the well trodden paths of wildlife and migration safaris in the Serengeti to the more adventurous and less busy Parks of southern and western Tanzania including Ruaha and the Selous. We specialise in Safari Holidays in Tanzania to see both the savannah game and the big five of the plains and the chimpanzees of western Tanzania and mountain gorillas of Rwanda.
Tanzania is home to some of the most breathtaking wildlife viewing and tracking in Africa if not the world. A Serengeti wildlife safari or exploration of the Ngorongoro Crater offer the wildlife enthusiast an up close and personal wildlife holiday with the chance of seeing the Big Five in their natural environment.
Why are Tanzania holidays so special? Firstly, 25% of the country is protected by national parks which are estimated to support about 20% of Africa's mammal population. They also play host to one of the world's most spectacular wildlife experiences, the wildebeest migration. With over 1,130 bird species and more discovered annually, Tanzania also has the second largest diversity of bird species recorded (after DRC).
Tourism in Tanzania is ahead of most African nations with acceptable routes, an excellent and wide selection of accommodation from mobile tented camps to luxury lodges.
The most popular - and most dramatic - Tanzania holidays are about 14 days and take 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 holiday destinations in Tanzania such as Katavi National Park and the Mahale Mountains which are home to habituated chimpanzees.
What to expect on your Tanzania Holiday: Nowadays the choice of wildlife holidays and different types of accommodation in Tanzania are too vast to cover in a website; from mobile 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 time relaxing on the wonderful beaches of Zanzibar.
