Why Visit Tanzania?
Tanzania boasts an abundance of Safari opportunities, deeply embedded in the country’s culture. Renowned for its diverse wildlife and scenery, Tanzania offers a range of experiences, from the famous savannahs of the Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater to the picturesque beaches and lively coral reefs of Zanzibar. Additionally, lesser-known gems like chimpanzee trekking in Mahale and Rubondo’s untouched rainforests, as well as tranquil game viewing in the unspoiled landscapes of Nyerere and Ruaha, await exploration beyond the popular tourist destinations.
1. Experience the beauty of the Great Wildebeest Migration
The annual Wildebeest Migration in Tanzania is a wildlife phenomenon like no other, drawing visitors from across the globe. It forms the centrepiece of numerous Safari adventures, offering a breathtaking display of nature’s splendor. Around 2 million wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes undertake this epic journey, navigating through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem amid the constant threat of predators in their quest for better grazing. This extraordinary event stands as one of the last great land animal migrations on Earth, with the sheer size of the herds visible even from space.
2. Witness the Big 5 within an Ancient Volcano
About 2.5 million years ago, the Ngorongoro Crater formed after a large volcano erupted and collapsed. Today, it’s recognized as a self-sustaining ecosystem and UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated as one of East Africa’s top locations to spot the Big 5. With a depth of roughly 600 meters (1,970 feet) and spanning around 260 square kilometres (100 square miles), the Crater’s floor boasts diverse habitats that accommodate approximately 30,000 animals, establishing it as a must-see attraction in Tanzania.
3. Take the road less travelled
Tanzania’s less frequented parks and reserves offer an enticing prospect for adventurous Safari lovers and those craving exploration beyond the popular routes of Northern Tanzania. Featuring a rich variety of landscapes, ranging from savannahs and swamps to rainforests and lakes, these concealed Safari destinations guarantee remarkable wildlife encounters away from the usual tourist throngs. Additionally, visitors have the opportunity to engage in diverse activities such as fishing, walking, and boating Safaris, as well as off-roading and night drives—experiences often restricted in National Parks like the Serengeti.
4. Stand at the Top of Africa’s Tallest Mountain
Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak and the world’s highest free-standing mountain, rises almost 6 kilometres (4 miles) above Tanzania’s plains. Climbing to the “Roof of Africa” usually takes five or more days, with different routes offering varying difficulty levels, durations, crowd sizes, and scenery. Talk to our Experts to customize your Kilimanjaro hike based on your preferences and abilities. Plus, we can easily combine your Kilimanjaro experience with a Tanzania Safari in nearby parks and reserves.
5. Explore the Tropics
After a Tanzania Safari, unwind on a palm-fringed beach along the warm, azure waters of the Indian Ocean. Days on Safari can be intense, and a tropical island offers the perfect setting to reflect on your adventure. With convenient flights from safari camps to beach destinations, you can transition from morning Safari to sunset cocktails on powder-soft sands effortlessly.
