Tanzania and Zanzibar
safari giraffes
Tanzania has a wealth of breathtaking natural wonders including Africa's largest lake, Lake Victoria.
It also has the highest mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro and the world heritage site of Ngorongoro Crater. The national parks provide unbelievable game viewing, with the Great Migration being a wildlife enthusiast’s dream, when over two million animals cross the vast plains of the Serengeti. Why not capture the excitement and natural beauty of Tanzania and combine it with a visit to the exotic spice island of Zanzibar?

What you need to know
As there are many parks and itineraries to choose from safaris to Tanzania are often divided into regional circuits. Tanzania’s northern circuit attracts the majority of tourists and includes the Serengeti, Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks and Ngorongoro Crater, a conservation area. The southern circuit consists of the Selous Game Reserve, Africa’s largest game reserve which is bigger than Denmark!

Our opinion
• Tanzania offers divers and snorkellers world-class reef and plentiful schools of tropical fish.
• Zanzibar is an ideal beach extension to any Tanzanian safari.

When to go?
The standard tourist season is in January and February, when the hot, dry weather is considered to be best game viewing. One of the best times to go is late June to October, when the rains have finished and the air is coolest.

Best times to go:
The best months for watching the Great Migration in the Serengeti are from May to July when the plains are fresh and green, and November to March when the wildebeeste return to calve. The southern parks are good all year round, although especially in the dry months from July to October which in our view is the best time to visit the country.
