Tanzania Tours | The Land of Safari

Home to varied ecosystems, an abundance of wildlife, Mt. Kilimanjaro and tranquil beaches on the Indian Ocean, Tanzania is more than just the Big 5. With National Parks that conjure up images of rolling savannah, lone acacia trees, lions, elephants, buffalo and more, a safari in Tanzania covers the greatest concentration of the world’s most sought after wildlife. The Serengeti National Park is her biggest and most popular, but the Ngorongoro Crater is her most unique. The crater, once an active volcano, is home to the densest population of wildlife the world over with a crater rim upwards of 2,200 meters high offering a surreal setting to your safari experience. The Serengeti gives you your Big 5 in a vastness that is hard to comprehend, Lake Manyara shimmers pink with millions of flamingos, Baobab trees dot the landscape of Tarangire National Park, and Mt. Kilimanjaro offers a contrast to Tanzania’s steppe and savannah. See wildebeest stampede across the plains, hippos jostle for space in shallow rivers and elephant herds cross your dusty path on safari drives that provide you with memories to last a lifetime. Away from the wildlife, the Zanzibar Archipelago is a diverse gem on the Indian Ocean boasting pristine beaches, a rich culture, and the World Heritage Site of Stone Town, a perfect way to conclude your safari on the mainland.

TOP NATIONAL PARKS IN TANZANIA:

Serengeti National Park




Africa’s great game park, the Serengeti is renowned for its abundance of lion & leopard and its expansive geography. The park is vast, as big as Northern Ireland, and with its plains of short-grass and graceful Acacia trees, the immensity of the park makes it one of the greatest destinations for wildlife viewing. On the wide-open plains, see huge herds of wildebeest, most spectacular during the annual migration, as well as elephant, rhino, buffalo, gazelle, zebra, cheetah, lion, leopard, and more.



Ngorongoro Crater & Conservation Area




Located west of the Great Rift Valley, the Ngorongoro Crater was once an active volcano, some eight million years ago, whose cone collapsed creating a giant crater and which is now a spectacular setting and home to a wide variety of wildlife. The crater rim is wooded with forest vegetation and reaches over 2,200 meters high. The crater is home to one of the world’s densest wildlife populations, with in and around 350,000 wild animals. See elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo, thousands of flamingoes, a large birdlife and plenty more.



Tarangire National Park




Only a few hours from Arusha, a common entry/exit point for a Tanzania safari, Tarangire is a popular stop for the northern Tanzania safari route as you make your way to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Tarangire is the name of the river that crosses through the park, the only water source during the dry seasons, and its topography is accented by the hilly landscape dotted with Baobab trees, dense bush and high grasses, along with great views of the Masai Steppe and mountains to the south. The landscape and vegetation is diverse and a good mix from what is found along the northern safari circuit. Known best for its large concentration of elephants and tree climbing lions, Tarangire is a memorable experience diversified by its geography and collection of wildlife.



Lake Manyara National Park




One of the country’s smallest parks, this national park is located beneath the cliffs of the Manyara escarpment, on the edge of the Rift Valley, and offers varied ecosystems, great birdlife and excellent views. Lake Manyara itself is a shallow alkaline line, shrinking further during the dry season, and is home to millions of flamingoes during the rains giving the lake a shimmering pink glow. On your safari, you may see lions, elephants, hyena, hippos, giraffes, and more in this diverse park with vegetation ranging from forest to swamps, savannah and more.



BEST TIME TO VISIT:

Climate

Tanzania has a tropical climate, where coastal areas are hot & humid. The daily average temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius. In the central plateau it is commonly dry and arid with hot days and cooler nights. In the northwest highlands, around the city of Arusha and the Ngorongoro Crater, the climate is temperate with cooler temperatures between the months of June and September. Long rains are common from March to May and short rains fall between October and December. The hottest months are between October and February.

Entry Regulations

Canadian & U.S. citizens traveling to Tanzania require a visa to enter the country. Tourist visas can be obtained at a Tanzanian embassy abroad, or upon arrival at the airport in Arusha or Kilimanjaro for USD$50 for Canadian passport holders, and $100 for US passport holders. Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the expected date of your departure from Tanzania. Yellow Fever Vaccination cards are not mandatory unless arriving from an endemic country. Please check before departure as the status of this requirement changes frequently.

Currency

The official currency is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS).

Electricity

The current used in Tanzania is 220-240AC, 50HZ. This system may differ from the one you use at home. We suggest purchasing an adapter to take with you. Most lodges and camps on safari are situated in remote areas and have to generate their own electricity.

Language

The official language in Tanzania is Swahili. English is widely spoken in lodges, camps and the larger towns.

Health Regulations

Yellow Fever Vaccinations are not mandatory for visitors going to Tanzania unless arriving from an endemic country. Malaria is usually top on the list of visitor’s worries and prevention goes a long way in keeping you protected. You may visit your doctor to get a prescription for anti-malarial drugs that best suits you. Other vaccinations may be considered. For all health requirements and recommendations, travellers should check with their health authority for the most up to date information.

Cuisine

Tanzania’s cuisine varies based on where you are visiting and what local food is available. Most hotels in the mainland, away from coastal areas, will serve local dishes which are primarily fried chicken or meat stews with various staples including potatoes, chips and the maize porridge popular all over Africa, Ugali. Indian cuisine is a common feature in Tanzania with curries and chapatti bread being quite popular. In coastal areas, naturally, seafood is common, from prawn curries to grilled fish and lobster. Major hotels and lodges will offer a wide selection of international food.
