With a remarkable concentration and diversity of wildlife and ecosystems, Tanzania delivers some of the most impressive natural spectacles. Get close to the great migration, the slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater as well as the mountains and plains of Ruaha.
A land of grassy plains, rift-formed lakes and pinnacle-like volcanoes, Tanzania’s exciting landscape is carpeted with wildlife to match. The Serengeti – with its iconic migration – and the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater capture the most attention. But Tanzania’s appeal extends far beyond these, with baobab-strewn Tarangire, wild Selous and remote Katavi as different as they are beautiful.
What do you really love doing? We curate your itinerary especially for you.
Drive Tanzania’s northern circuit, either as a self-drive or guided tour. Between July and September, witness the thrilling Mara River crossings as thousands of wildebeests and zebras dodge crocodiles in a desperate dash. From Ngorongoro’s rim, enjoy views of the fever tree forest, alive with elephants, leopards and buffalos. Tarangire offers sightings of dry-country antelopes like the fringe-eared oryx and long-necked gerenuk. End your journey with a relaxing Zanzibar escape.
Alongside volcanic vistas and the endless Serengeti plains, witness herds of Masai Mara wildebeest as they migrate across the Mara River. Savings, upgrades and complimentary hot air balloon flights available at certain camps – talk to our experts for more information.
