Tanzania

Tanzania's wildlife safaris are well known world over thanks to the abundance of many wildlife species, landscapes, fascinating culture and breathtaking scenery. Tanzania safaris will take you to some of the world’s best-known landmarks such as: The Selous Game Reserve located in Southern Tanzania (which is the biggest game reserve in Africa), The Serengeti National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro, The Ngorongoro Crater and Mahale Mountains, famous for chimpanzees. Lake Tanganyika is also a key landmark as it is the deepest lake in the world. Safaris in Tanzania will place you at the core of one of the world’s greatest wonders: The annual Great Wildebeest Migration from Serengeti plains to Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya.

For a journey of a lifetime, it’ll be well worth combining a Tanzania Safari featuring both the Serengeti National Park and the neighbouring Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. This essentially completes the picture for an unforgettable safari holiday in East Africa. Safari holidays in Tanzania are not complete without the majestic views and sights of the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro. This is the highest mountain in Africa and the largest free-standing mountain in the world. Climbing it is a worthwhile challenge and overcoming it is really a dream come true for many a climber.

Brian Jackman’s Story:
One man who’s passionate about the adventure of African safari holidays is travel author Brian Jackman, who recently took a trip to see the Great wildebeest migration in the Serengeti. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, he noted that he was really pampered while on his vacation. Talking about his camp, he said: “Not even Hemingway in his heyday enjoyed such comforts as those provided by its nine spacious walk-in tents, with each one offering khaki cave of comfort with en-suite loos, hot bucket showers and polished brass bowls for washing and shaving. Persian rugs complete the picture and nothing is left to chance. There are even brollies for wet days and hot-water bottles for chilly nights.”

Mr. Jackman then went on to describe the wildebeest migration itself. He said that the spectacle is the “greatest wildlife show on earth”. As well as hoards of wildebeest, there are thousands of lions and other animals to see. When it comes to alarm clocks, not many can beat the roar of a big cat for sheer thrill. Commenting on one of his safari mornings, the writer said: “Snug in my tent… I listened to the strange, pulsing cries of a swamp nightjar in the surrounding trees. Later, when the nightjar had fallen silent and dawn seeped through the canvas, a lion began to roar not far off. I dressed hurriedly, stepped outside and eventually picked him out with my binoculars, sprawling at full length on a granite kopje, gold mane on fire in the morning sun. What a way to start the day.”
