Southern Circuit

In the south of the country, Tanzania offers walking safaris, as well as river cruises. Walking safaris are then conducted from lodges or Safari camps with ranger guide. Or as close as a few meters by the guided boat safaris on the Rufiji river. Wildlife in this area is not seen in the other national parks of Tanzania. It is possible to see large packs of hunting dogs outrunning and feeding on wildebeest, you could also see the rare Greater Kudu, Roan Antelope and the Oryx. Hippos and Nile crocodiles bask by the river banks. The colorful birds like the pelicans, fish along rivers with the occasional Cape buffalo in the Miombo woodland swamps.

Wildlife safaris

A safari into the Ngorongoro Crater, guarantees wildlife viewing, since most of the animals are non migratory. Game can be seen all year around and you would also be able to see the millions of flamingos here, as well as on Lake Manyara. The colorful pink birds, can be seen feeding on the algae in the shallow volcanic Lakes. The Black Rhinos are very common in the Ngorongoro, while for the historically leaning safari enthusiast, the home of the Nut cracker fossil and the millions year old stone tools at the Olduvai gorge museum will provide some background to human evolution.

Nature walks

The resident local Masai guides will be able to show you around. They interpret nature and follow animal spoors while identifying birds, plant life and offering lectures on the history of the area.

Balloon Safaris

The Balloon safaris are usually offered in the Serengeti plains, where you fly in a hydrogen powered craft, floating over the African Savannah. The animals below are a sight to behold as you glide peacefully over Elephant, Zebra, Lion, cheetah and other wildlife, before landing for a sumptuous buffet bush breakfast with champagne. This is usually available with advance booking through the safari company.

Camping tours

Camping Tanzania safaris, are a good way of experiencing the wildlife of Tanzania at an affordable price but not so comfortable sleeping arrangements. In a private or shared safari land cruiser, clients will be staying in mobile tents in the open Savannah and the private chef will be cooking the meals off a mobile Kitchen while on safari.

The mountain climbing expeditions into the Kilimanjaro, meanwhile, hike through Mountain vegetation into the peaks of Africa’s highest point. Glaciers and snow are eventually reached on a multi day climb with Tanzanian local guides. This trip can also be combined with other tours in Tanzania, or a trek of the primates in Mahale. You may also encounter some birds on your African safari where the notable Martial Eagle and the Secretary bird may be on the lookout for the snakes and rodents on your African Holiday.
