Tanzania

Karibu is the Swahili word meaning “welcome”.

Between Africa’s highest mountain (Kilimanjaro) and Africa’s largest lake (Victoria), lies one of the best game viewing areas on the African continent.

This region is especially synonymous with the world’s largest unflooded volcanic caldera (Ngorongoro) and the most famous wildlife reserve (Serengeti National Park).

A Tanzania Safari is the perfect experience to enjoy the diversity of animals, plants and culture that East Africa has become known for.

This lush East African Eden is the stunning backdrop to one of nature’s most remarkable events when it hosts the spectacular Great Migration of one million wild animals. The herds move across the Serengeti Plains and charge through the treacherous crocodile infested Mara River to reach the Mara Nature Reserve in Kenya.

Those searching for untouched coral and bounty-full marine life can resort to Pemba Island in the warm Indian Ocean. Diving and various watersport are the popular attraction for locals and visitors. Mafia Island, meaning “a good place to live” is exactly that, with its white, sandy beaches and turquoise glistening waters.

This country offers a unique African experience, and then some. From mainland Tanzania to semi-autonomous Zanzibar, the adventure may seem never ending.

Best times to visit:

  • Year round (rainy period mid April through to mid May): Serengeti, Grumeti and Ngorongoro
  • June to November: Tarangire, Selous, Ruaha and Katavi
