Tanzania

Welcome to the Roof of Africa and Endless Plains.

Tanzania never disappoints with so much to offer; long beach strewn coastline, a rich mixture of cultures, Great Lakes, the Unforgettable Serengeti, volcanic Ngorongoro crater and Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro. This mosaic of ethnic and historical diversity has seen powerful civilizations rise and fall experience explorers such as Livingstone and Burton and Jane Goodall. Discoveries of million-year-old fossils at Oldupai Gorge, scaling the highest free-standing mountain in the world, rich and diverse National Parks, marine parks and conservation areas with extensive wildlife concentrations all highlight the travel delights of Tanzania.  

 

The awe-inspiring beauty of nature untamed on the Northern Circuit with wildlife havens in Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro (Crater) Conservation Area, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Arusha and Kilimanjaro National Parks offer incredible safaris with abundant and unique wildlife where the Big Five roam.  

 

To the south the circuit teams with wildlife and diversity; Mikumi National Park, an important center for the study of primates, The Selous, size of small country, with a rich variety of birdlife and remaining habitat of black rhino, truly mesmerizing waterways; sand banks lined with outsized crocodiles, palm fringed banks massed with thirsty herds of elephants and buffalo. One of Tanzania’s newest National Parks, Udzungwa is of particular interest for its extensive species of primates.  If it’s elephants you’re looking for, head for Ruaha National Park.  Katavi National Park – the great unknown remains one of the few viable savannahs reserves anywhere on the continent and finally, Tanzania’s smallest national park, Gombe Stream is a world center of study on chimpanzees, and the location of the longest-running wildlife observation programs on the planet.
