Journeys to Tanzania

 

Looking for a classic East African safari that includes wildlife and culture, past and present? Then Tanzania is a must! Journey into the dawn of time as you pass the stark red-robed figure of a Maasai boy herding his cattle, and learn about the nomadic Maasai culture.  See countless elephants at the Tarangire River and photograph Africa's quintessential tree - the "upside down" baobab!  Descend 2,000 feet by Land Rover beneath the cloud cover into Ngorongoro Crater, Africa's "Garden of Eden." The mist which often obscures the crater floor of this extinct volcano from the surface only adds to the sense of wonder where the floor reveals elephant lumbering through the primeval forest, lion resting in the tall grass, and the distinctive grunt of the hippo as you lunch overlooking the hippo pool. The amazing wildlife viewing you see as you cross the varied terrain from the endless plains of the Serengeti and Tarangire National Park, to the Selous and Ruaha is only enhanced by a visit to Olduvai Gorge where Mary Leakey discovered Zinjanthropus, one of the earliest fossils of man, in 1959. Experience the drama of the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra, and the carnivores that follow them, in the endless plains of the Serengeti.

A relaxed attitude combined with some of the best wildlife spotting on the continent is within affordable reach.

Birding in Tanzania

Richard Knocker is for the birds – and so is this safari! Born on a farm in Kenya, Richard has run a safari camp on the edge of the Maasai Mara, and Kusini Camp on the western edge of the Serengeti Plains. It was here that Richard gained much of his knowledge and experience of the Serengeti and introduced his trademark walking trips in the surrounding areas, his specialty since the late 1990s. He looks forward to sharing that knowledge with you as you discover the wealth of birdlife and wildlife in Tanzania.

Classic Safari to Tanzania

Tanzania is the perfect East African destination for any traveler with an open mind and heart to experiencing wildlife and culture, past and present. As you sip banana beer with new friends in modern Mto Wa Mbu village, join in the welcoming dance at a traditional Maasai homestead, and meet Zinjanthropus, one of the earliest fossils of man at Olduvai Gorge, you will realize you are not the first to be entranced by this magical land.

The Discovery Journey to Tanzania

Tanzania shares the endless plains of the Serengeti and Maasai culture that existed long before man-made boundaries. Journey into the dawn of time as you pass the stark red-robed Maasai boy herding his cattle and descend 2,000 feet by Land Rover beneath the cloud cover into Ngorongoro Crater, Africa's "Garden of Eden." The amazing wildlife viewing you see as you cross the varied terrain is only enhanced by a visit to Olduvai Gorge where Mary Leakey discovered Zinjanthropus, one of the earliest fossils of man in 1959.   Experience the drama of the annual migration of zebra and wildebeest in the endless plains of the Serengeti.

Generation Exploration Family Safari To Tanzania

Experience the ultimate in “cool” as you travel back to the dawn of time with your family. Visit traditional villages where life has changed little. This is a vacation the entire family will talk about for years to come – from that first elephant slowly lumbering like a dinosaur past your Land Cruiser to camping out in tents with bed and private bathrooms,  to learning the Hadzabe's click language and dancing with the Maasai. The amazing wildlife viewing you see as you cross Tanzania’s varied terrain by Land Cruiser and on foot, is only enhanced by a visit to Olduvai Gorge, rich in some of the oldest fossils of man and wildlife.

Great Migration Safari Kenya and Tanzania

Experience the world’s longest running show – the annual drama of the great migration on one of the planet’s most beautiful stages – the Serengeti. Cats play an integral part, but the star of the show is the wildebeest and zebra. Watch as a cast of thousands cross the Serengeti in search of fertile grasslands attempting to avoid their arch-enemy – the predator.

Greatest Parks of East Africa

For sheer volume of animals, there's simply nothing like East Africa. On this grand safari tour explore the greatest parks of East Africa – from the verdant beauty of Uganda, to the endless plains of the Serengeti and Africa's "Garden of Eden," Ngorongoro Crater.

Walk Your Way Across Tanzania

Explore the endless plains of the Serengeti in the same manner as those whose home it has been for a millennia – on foot. Experience the ultimate communing with nature as you walk among Tanzania’s endless variety of wildlife while staying in mobile and permanent tented camps and luxury lodges along the way.

Wings Over Africa Safari to Tanzania, Zambia & Botswana

In Africa, the sky’s the limit, so why not wing your way across it in small planes for a bird’s eye view of the magnificent landscape and wildlife below? Flying not only gives you a unique perspective, but enables you to make the most of your time on the ground with exciting wildlife viewing across East Africa’s Serengeti plains and Ngorongoro Crater – Africa’s “Garden of Eden.” Then it’s on to Southern Africa to see magnificent Victoria Falls in Zambia and to experience exciting wildlife viewing in open Land Rovers and by mokoro (dug-out canoe) in beautiful Botswana where adventure is wrapped in the luxury of exclusive, tented camps.
