Tanzania Safaris - An Overview

Tanzania Overview

Fantastic wildlife, stunning scenery and safaris ranging from traditional walking and camping to idyllic beach and diving resorts along the Indian Ocean - Tanzania is virtually unrivalled in terms of wildlife population and diversity. It also hosts some of Africa's most dramatic natural features; from the biggest African plains to the highest African mountains to the deepest African lakes...

Tanzania has remarkable chimpanzee tracking in Mahale, and nearby Katavi is a little-visited paradise of animals and scenery. Pemba offers classic tropical beaches to those wanting to get away from the crowds, whilst the Selous Game Reserve never disappoints those looking for lion and elephant!

Other Options

Other Options

If the migration is your main interest then see our guidelines on planning a migration safari in either Kenya or Tanzania

If primates are your main interest then Tanzania has the most remarkable chimp tracking spot in Mahale but Uganda and Rwanda should also be explored for both chimps and gorillas.

If East Africa is your aim and culture and diversity are more important than wildlife then give the Kenyan and Tanzanian islands like Zanzibar and Lamu Island serious consideration.
