Luxury Safari Tanzania
Tanzania is a stunning nation with a wide variety of landscapes, from vast plains to white sand beaches and towering volcanic peaks. Views of the Big Five, opulent tented safari lodges, and culturally rich encounters are all part of a true East African safari in Tanzania, which spans the entire country from east to west.
Attracting safari-goers for its affirmation of life and timelessness, the area is home to renowned vast herds of resident and migratory species. It is also the site of one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles, the Great Migration.
Mount Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park are some of the north’s most captivating landmarks that make up the “Northern Circuit.” Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks, as well as the nearby Rift Valley, offer equally breathtaking scenery and exciting excursions.
In two small forests on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, near Tanzania’s western border, you can go on a trek to see chimpanzees. This is the only location in Tanzania where this is possible.
At the same time, there are some genuinely untamed, isolated wilderness areas in the country’s less-visited southern region. Visit the secluded Ruaha National Park for a safari that incorporates research or get on a boat safari to cruise the Rufiji River in Nyerere National Park (previously Selous Game Reserve).
The Zanzibar Archipelago, also known as the “spice islands” due to its rich history of trade, is the perfect place to dip your toes into the white sands and end a coastal safari.
What to Expect on a Luxury Safari Tanzania
Game drives are the main way to see wildlife on most luxury safaris Tanzania. An early morning drive and an afternoon drive are the usual program staples. It is customary to watch the sunset in a picturesque location while sipping sundowners, which are typically a gin and tonic. A delicious, multi-course supper can be enjoyed in the privacy of your room, amongst other guests at the camp or lodge, or even out in the open air in the wilderness. Gather around an outdoor fire after dark, stargaze, go on a night wildlife drive (if available), relax on a star bed, or just get some sleep before another delicious day on safari.
Day trips get more interesting with activities like hot air balloon rides over the Serengeti, guided bush walks, visits to local communities, and taking part in research, among many other things. Fortunately, safari-goers who like to explore on foot also have a plethora of exciting options in Tanzania. Guests on walking safaris sleep in simple yet comfortable fly camps as they explore remote areas of the Ngorongoro Highlands or the Serengeti.
