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.

With more land devoted to wildlife than anywhere else in the world, this is a genuine safari paradise.
Affordable Nature: East Africa - Tanzania & Kenya
Step into a world bound by no geographical limits in a wild journey to East Africa. From Kenya, where the Maasai Mara supports traditional herdsmen alongside the grazers and predators of the harsh savannah to Tanzania, where the depth of the Ngorongoro does not discourage the leopard or zebra from making the crater its home, you will discover how life continues to overcome and prosper as it has for centuries. With the local people as lively and vivid as their diverse landscape of mountains and valleys, lakes and geysers, it is no wonder that East Africa is known the world over as the ultimate safari destination – and your ticket to paradise.
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 Rwanda & Tanzania
Take the road less traveled on safari in Rwanda and Tanzania – two hidden jewels in East Africa. Explore the paradise of the Serengeti, "the place where the land moves on forever." Hike up to the volcanic woodlands at Volcano National Park where playful mountain gorillas roam. Take land rovers down to the crater floor at Ngorongoro and learn about the Maasai villagers who have balanced domestic with wild life here for centuries. Your days will be filled with sightings of the great African predators and their prey while your nights will be spent in lavish chalets and tented camps overlooking the breathtaking wilderness.
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 crossing the varied terrain is only enhanced by a visit to Olduvai Gorge, where Mary Leakey discovered one of the earliest fossils of man. Home to man and beast since the beginning of time, the magic of the Serengeti continues to thrill, including the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra moving in time to the rhythms of Mother Nature.
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.
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.
