Epic Journeys

Tanzania

Tanzania is undoubtedly one of our most popular safari destinations, particularly for families. It is home to three of Africa’s absolute icons; the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Mt Kilimanjaro.

Most safaris to Tanzania (or combination safaris with nearby destinations) are in the range of 9 to 14 nights. Quite often guests include other safari destinations in combination with Tanzania such as the gorillas of Rwanda or the Maasi Mara in Kenya. Zanzibar is also often a safari addition.

    This safari concentrates on the iconic destinations of Tanzania whilst viewing the wildebeest migration and staying at the most luxurious lodges and camps that the country has to offer.

The destinations hold arguably the most dense populations of large mammals on the planet during this time. For those who are interested travellers can also engage in cultural activity with local Maasai communities and and full or part day walks are possible.This safari can be combined with any of the Kenyan safaris to maximise the chances of observing the wildebeest migration. It can also combine well with gorilla and chimp trekking in Uganda or Rwanda or some days on the squeaky white sand beaches of the East African coast or Islands of Zanzibar or Seychelles.

  • 9 Nights Premier Tanzania- Shoulder Season
    9 Nights Premier Tanzania- Shoulder Season

    Tanzania is a wonderful safari destination in any month of the year and this safari attempts to take travellers away from the most travelled routes in the national parks and into the private conservancies, out of the peak holiday periods of mid northern hemisphere summer and Christmas and New Year. Not only are rates attractive during this time at the very best lodges that Tanzania has to offer, but those lodges are situated in well managed, private conservancies. The wildlife is still diverse and bountiful and given the intimacy of the private conservancies compared to the national parks. This safari has diversity of habitat leading to great sightings of large mammals, a huge range of bird species but also diversity of cultural experiences from hunter gatherer tribes to the Maasai and Datoga cattle herders.
