The word safari comes from Kiswaheli and means a journey. In the western world, however, you generally think of a Tanzania safari as a search for wild animals. The most sought-after animals on a Tanzania safari are the Big Five (lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards and rhinos). However, Tanzania safaris also offers countless other amazing wildlife species and hundreds of beautiful, colourful birds. Therefore, your private guide will be more than happy to tell you all about the animals, birds and plants you see during your journey.
What to expect
Above all, we only arrange private tours, this means that you do not have to share the car with other people. Hence, it is just you and your loved ones. The private safaris are conducted in 4 × 4 Land vehicles.
Useful to know is that the animals are most active at sunrise and sunset. This is when the temperatures in Tanzania are most comfortable and they are looking for food. The chance of seeing the animals in action is therefore best then. Nevertheless, in the midst of the day, many wild animals are up and running.
We personalise all Tanzania safaris to suite your wishes. Below we give you some ideas of our most popular itineraries. We can tweak each to be as authentic as possible to fit your needs. The Tanzania safaris that we offer are suitable for couples and families. In addition, the itineraries are easy to combine with a few nights in Zanzibar.
A Tanzania safari offers excellent wildlife viewing throughout. Over and above, Tanzania is a huge country well-known for safaris, which are among the most spectacular in the world. The landscapes are magnificent and the wild fauna particularly lush.
The locals
Tanzania is also home to the traditional Maasai tribes and Mount Kilimanjaro, the roof of Africa. A small community of Massai is often spotted at the Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzanians are also called “the united people”. There are more than 120 ethnic groups in the Tanzanian population. Then again, no group is dominant and many are relatively small. The Tanzanian people are also known for their national pride in Swahili. Romance novels and poetry in this language are very popular.
Above all, combine Tanzania with Kenya, Zanzibar, Rwanda or Uganda. Nothing is impossible!
