Romantic Campfires & Superb Beaches – a Tanzania Safari has it all!
A safari in Tanzania delivers everything that you desire in a holiday. You can spend time on extraordinary tropical islands, dive for natural treasures, climb the world's highest free standing mountain, or observe the annual migration of plains game. A Tanzania safari offers all that and much more.
The United Republic of Tanzania is located in central East Africa; it is probably one of the oldest known continuously inhabited areas on the planet. With such rich history, this country has more to offer to tourists than any other African nation. This includes:
- Trekking to Africa's 4600 m (15,100 feet) high roof top, Mount Kilimanjaro.
- Embarking on a boat expedition along the mighty Rufiji River to explore this stream's delta, which contains the largest mangrove forest in the world. This waterway is approximately 600 km (375 mi) long, and formed by the convergence of the prominent Kilombero and Luwegu rivers.
- Watching the sunset near the world famous volcanic caldera, the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater is about 610 m (2,000 ft) deep and its floor easily covers 260 km2 (100 sq mi).
- Living with the Maasai to experience the ancient traditions that helped to make this country so exceptionally versatile.
Tanzania is one of the most exciting vacation destinations in the world, because the country has so much to offer. There is so much to see and do that only a Tanzania safari can guarantee travelers that they will get your money's worth. Safaris are designed to explore a large number of territories and cram as many activities into the deal as possible. Why fly all the way across the world to stay put in one location, especially having so much variety at your finger tips? Tanzanian safaris offer everything from exciting encounters with elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos and leopards to tailor-made itineraries that also feature unforgettable balloon rides and visits to shopping outlets near luxurious hotels.
Accommodations on a Tanzania safari vary. Depending on your trip choice, you can stay in quality canvas tent camps, game lodges with communal dining and lounging areas, or top notch hotels that give you complete privacy. If you pay for a personalized safari, you will be able to mix and match.
There is no "best" time to visit Tanzania, because it is basically an all-year-round travel destination. When the best travel time is for you personally will depend on what you want to accomplish while in Africa. Each season offers its highlights. For instance:
- The Great Wildebeest migration takes place between January and March, or June and July.
- The Chimpanzees of Mahale and Gombe are most active between May to October, or January and February when it rains.
- If you want to go trekking on Mount Kilimanjaro, pick the dry seasons, which are from January to mid-March and June to October.
Whatever you decide, you will never forget your Tanzania safari, simply because you will have the trip of a lifetime. Enjoy the vibrant ecosystem and your friendly hosts!
