Tanzania is a beautiful, untamed country of diverse landscapes ranging from majestic mountain peaks to white sand beaches and endless stretches of open plains, famously inhabited by large herds of wildlife.
In particular, the great migration is a sight that draws safari enthusiasts year after year for its affirmation of life and timelessness.
Tanzania offers something for everyone who seeks a true, authentic African safari experience. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and embarking on a safari across the northern circuit (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti) are the most well-known adventures, there are certainly more remote safari circuits that are equally as majestic.
A safari to Tanzania requires careful planning in terms of timing, weather and locations, especially with regards to animal movements. We will be able to guide you to the best areas so that all of your own unique interests can be included in your Tanzania safari.
The great wildebeest migration spends all year routing its way through the Serengeti ecosystem in search of grazing, so there is no time of the year when a visit to the Serengeti National Park can’t put you in a front-row seat for Africa’s most impressive wildlife spectacle.
Tanzania being on top among destinations respecting conservation in its parks and Serengeti being pioneer, various companies have carried a leaf of conservation towards the country.
For companies like Singita has set up various luxury game lodges in fragile eco areas and hence offering luxury accommodation services to luxury eco tourists in the Serengeti park. Same lodges have shifted their conservation work to countries like Rwanda where also conservation is paramount to the wildlife.
The Kwitonda Gorilla Lodge and Kataza House are set up at the footsteps of the Rwanda’s gorilla park. Therefore, with this kind of lodge distribution in East Africa combing luxury Tanzania Rwanda safari itineraries is much possible seeing the wildlife and mountain gorillas in Volcanoes, Rwanda.
The high season in Tanzania is between July and October and from December to February – the dry seasons when game is easier to spot. To avoid the crowds, consider May, November and early December, although you should expect some rain.
If you are traveling to western or southern Tanzania, then May through early October is best, as it can be very hot during the rest of the year. April and May endure long rains in Tanzania, so be prepared for un-drivable roads and muddy, buggy conditions – camps in western and southern Tanzania are closed.
With the variety of safari parks throughout Tanzania you can easily combine driving, horseback or walking Safaris into one holiday. For example, you could combine Katavi National Park with hiking in the Mahale Mountains for the best wild chimpanzee encounter on Earth.
