Tailor-Made Tanzania Holidays
From vast savannahs and volcanic peaks to wildlife-rich reserves and tropical coastlines, Tanzania delivers some of the most iconic safari experiences in Africa. Our tailor-made Tanzania safaris are built entirely around your travel style – whether you’re looking for a luxury Tanzania safari, a family-friendly wildlife adventure, or a classic safari and beach holiday with a Zanzibar extension.
Witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti, take a hot air balloon safari at sunrise, or track the Big Five on a private guided safari through Ngorongoro Crater or Tarangire. Venture off the beaten path with walking safaris in Ruaha and Selous, or explore the waterways of Nyerere National Park with unforgettable boat safaris on the Rufiji River. For the more adventurous, Mount Kilimanjaro treks and chimpanzee safaris in the Mahale Mountains offer immersive ways to experience Tanzania’s remote natural beauty.
After the thrill of the bush, unwind with a post-safari beach holiday. Our experts handpick the very best luxury safari lodges, and every itinerary includes private safari guides and vehicles for a truly personalised experience from start to finish.
