Experience the classic Tanzanian safari
One of the most diverse and incredible countries in East Africa. Some of the famous wild areas and events of Africa occur here such as, The Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, The Wildebeest Migration and Zanzibar Island are some of the very well-known. Then in the South of the country there are some of Africa’s largest national parks – Ruaha, Katavi and Nyerere. Apart from these classic savannah type areas where you can see a volume and variety of wildlife that is hard to beat elsewhere in Africa, you can also include beautiful beach days with classic white beaches, palm trees and tropical warm waters. You can also trek in the parks along Lake Tanganyika where habituated chimpanzee families live, made famous by Jane Goodall who changed the way we see these incredible large primates and been an inspiration to many.
Get a taste of it all
Safaris in Tanzania are often divided into either doing what is called the Northern Circuit or the Southern Circuit and both have very distinct features that are well worth exploring. As tourism develops more and more it is getting easier to link these two parts of Tanzania and then combine with some time on one of its beautiful coastal islands like Zanzibar or Mafia. For a first time or repeat safari guest you can have a safari of amazing diversity and a really top experience In this beautiful country

Things that are worth knowing about when traveling to Tanzania
Lake Natron
A fascinating salt lake that sits in the rift valley, overlooked by the mysterious and active volcano, Ol Doinyo Lengai, which is an important symbol and connection with the Gods for the Maasai people. This place is a key nesting area for Lesser Flamingoes which can number in their thousands an incredible site as they move and feed through the sometimes vibrant red water. A walk into this area from Empaakai Crater is beautiful and worth doing before exploring Lake Natron.
Mafia Island
Not far off the Southern Coast line of Tanzania is Mafia Island – this is Tanzania’s first Marine Park and a beautiful island with a much more genuine island experience as tourism is quite limited here, but a key attraction is being able to enjoy diving with Whale Sharks along with other beautiful reefs and nesting turtles. It also has a really interesting history all linked into it being at one time a trading gateway between “the interior” and Asia.
Rubondo Island
National Park
An island on Lake Victoria that was established as a place of refuge for wild animals in 1965 -the key introduction here was a group of chimpanzees gathered from circuses and zoos in Europe, they were given no lessons in what to do in the wild but within a short period of time they got organised and learnt which foods to eat and how to survive here. Today the offspring from the initial group are numbered over 40 and living wild. You can visit this Island and see this wonderful story along with other typical forest species like Bush Buck, Suni, Elephants, Black and White Colobus Monkeys
