Tanzania Safaris

the great migration.

The year-round East African safari.

A land of untamed wilderness and breathtaking landscapes that epitomizes the essence of Africa’s safari experience, can be found in Tanzania. Iconic plains of the Serengeti replete with predator and prey during the Great Migration. The collapsed volcanic caldera of the Ngorongoro Crater where an abundance of wildlife reside. The majestic Mount Kilimanjaro that towers in the distance. And white sand beaches await just off the coast. Tanzania offers a tapestry of ecosystems not found elsewhere.

SERENGETI

TANZANIA

Located in the north of Tanzania, the Serengeti is perhaps the most revered safari destination, with The Great Migration that most coveted of safari experiences to behold. Spanning almost 15,000 square kilometers, the Serengeti creates a picturesque backdrop for unforgettable safari adventures.

The annual Great Migration. Millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles embark on a circular journey in search of fresh grazing lands. And they are accompanied by predators – lions and cheetahs. Witnessing this epic spectacle is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

During the rest of the year, the Serengeti is home to large herds of elephants, buffalo, and giraffes, as well as elusive predators including leopards and hyenas.

NGORONGORO

TANZANIA

Hailed as Africa’s Eden and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania is a natural wonder and testament to the continent’s awe-inspiring biodiversity.

The Ngorongoro Crater was formed by the collapse of a massive volcano millions of years ago – and is now a haven for wildlife with its unique ecosystem supporting a dense concentration of animals within the confines of this natural amphitheater. The crater is home to an astonishing selection of species, including the Big Five.

Luxurious lodges and tented camps perch on the crater rim and offer accommodation options that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment, ensuring a comfortable and immersive safari experience in one of Africa’s most iconic destinations.

ZANZIBAR

TANZANIA

A tropical paradise located off the coast of Tanzania, the enchanting archipelago of Zanzibar is renowned for its pristine white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant culture. It is a splendid destination for travelers to cap off their classic safari adventures with a well-deserved few days of relaxation.

Stone Town, the island’s historic center, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with labyrinthine alleys, ancient buildings, and bustling markets. Take to the idyllic beaches and crystal-clear waters for a swim, snorkel or dive. A traditional sunset dhow cruise, watching for dolphins. The island’s coastline is dotted with luxurious resorts, boutique hotels, and eco-friendly lodges. Every traveler’s taste and budget is covered.

LUXURY MIGRATION SAFARI

7 days and 6nights experiencing the awe-inspiring Great Migration.

The ultimate luxury safari in Tanzania. A combination of superb lodges on the private Grumeti Reserve, and a luxury tented camp in the northern Serengeti. Both areas are well positioned to witness the herds of The Great Migration. This safari is ideal for a honeymoon, or discerning travellers looking for finer safari cuisine, impeccable service and incredible wildlife viewing. Perfectly combined with another itinerary in East Africa or a gorilla experience in Rwanda or Uganda.

Your first three evenings will be spent between the Singita Serengeti Grumeti and Singita Faru Faru Lodge, next to the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, encompassing 350,000 acres of magnificent unrivaled wilderness. Vast river valleys meander through the plains, grasslands, woodland, and forest. The area forms part of the famous migratory route, which is travelled by hundreds of thousands of animals every year through the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem.

The next three nights will be in residence at the Singita Mara River Tented Camp in the Northern Serengeti, a remote African wildlife wonderland. Its vast, rolling savannah is known as the hub of the Great Migration. Wildlife can be seen along the banks of the Mara River and visitors can view the annual spectacle of the half a million migrating wildebeest.

FAVORITE SEASON TANZANIA SAFARI

8 days and 8 nights seeing the best spots that Tanzania has to offer.

The ideal time travel to northern Tanzania and experience the vast plains of the Serengeti, is February to mid April. May is also a beautiful month though rain is more frequent. From late March, there are fewer other vehicles with less people traveling. It’s a misconception, that because of the potential for rain, it’s a bad time to be in the Serengeti.

Rain on the plains of Serengeti doesn’t last long, and is usually late in the day or at night. It’s a natural wonder in itself – the storm, build up over the plains, with massive clouds and light towering over you. An incredible back drop to an already dramatic place. The next morning, you have clear blue skies.

You see plenty wildlife, often miles and miles of massive herds spread over the plains, and then predators following them – lion and cheetah mostly. Take advantage of this quieter time (=fewer people) and experience the Serengeti when its lush and green, still with incredible wildlife, plus great guides and accommodation. 

Your safari destinations include the renowned Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu in the Serengeti, and the acacia-dotted Eastern Serengeti.
