Tanzania Safari Holiday

Tanzania offers iconic safari destinations such as the legendary Serengeti Plains, the geological marvel that is the Ngorongoro Crater and magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro. On top of all this, it hosts the greatest show on earth - the Annual Wildebeest Migration - ensuring a perfect Tanzania Safari Holiday.

These destinations are well-known and draw thousands of visitors on memorable African holiday safaris, but this beautiful country also has some of the wildest wilderness areas in Africa in the southern region such as Selous Game Reserve - one of the largest game reserves in the world - and Ruaha National Park. These southern reaches of Tanzania provide Africa's wildest safari holidays.

To the west of the country, in the Lake Tanganyika region, you can go trekking in search of chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park and Mahale Mountains National Park. Made famous by the legendary researcher Jane Goodall, the chimpanzee experience is a great addition to a Tanzania holiday safari.

Holiday Safaris, wildlife and wilderness aside, Tanzania also boasts some of the most romantic and unspoilt tropical beaches in Africa. Pemba Island and Mafia Island, part of the Zanzibar Archipelago, have to be among the few remaining island paradises in existence. A Tanzania safari and beach holiday equates to one of Africa's greatest safari holiday experiences Zanzibar, once home to Sultans and explorers, is a place of exotic spices, azure waters and incredible architecture.

So if incredible wildlife, tropical islands, climbing Africa's highest mountain, diving for marine treasures or watching the annual migration of plains game make up any of the ingredients in your ultimate safari, Tanzania has what you're dreaming of.

Visitors on a Tanzania safari holiday will discover a country that is slightly off the beaten track and yet still able to offer guests luxury safaris together with fabulous accommodation. The lodges here range from jaw-dropping luxury to rustic bungalows.
