Tanzania Safari
From wildlife spectacles to inspiring landscapes, Tanzania has everything you could want from a safari
Tanzania is a destination of many wonders. It is home to some of the best national parks, private reserves and conservancies in the continent. From here, you can embark on some of the best African safaris. Serengeti National Park in particular, hosts the Great Wildebeest Migration, and depending on the time of the year, you can even see the iconic river crossings – a once in a lifetime experience for any safari enthusiast.
The wildlife is what draws most travellers here, but this incredibly diverse nation has more to offer for those who linger a little longer. When in Tanzania, you could take on an epic challenge and conquer the magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest mountain. Then there is the idyllic Zanzibar and its stunning white-sand beaches – the perfect place to relax after days in the wilderness. Selous Game Reserve is where you can spot huge herds of elephants and in the Mahale Mountains, you can come up close with chimpanzees.
And then of course, there is the exclusive Singita Grumeti. Extending over 350,000 acres, this is where you can experience absolute privacy and some of the best safari lodges in all of Tanzania.
