Best Tanzania Tours and Safaris

Our tried-and-tested Tanzania itineraries deliver once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Naturally, most of our Tanzania tours and safaris focus on the country’s fantastic parks and reserves like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. But we also have a great selection of tours to Tanzania’s lesser known yet underrated reserves like Nyerere (previously Selous) and Ruaha. Plus, the exotic Zanzibar and other Indian Ocean islands offer fabulous beach resorts. We recommend getting the best of both: combining a luxury Tanzania safari and a tropical beach getaway – it’s straightforward and easy to arrange.

A Safari for Every Type of Traveller

Tanzania offers a wide range of safaris for both first timers and seasoned campaigners. The ease with which a child-friendly safari can be combined with a beach holiday makes Tanzania a shoo-in for families, while the country’s most exclusive and luxurious safari lodges and beach retreats make for an unforgettable honeymoon in Africa. More and more lodges now offer vegetarian and vegan meals to accommodate those with special dietary requirements. And many camps are diversifying their ranges of safari activities.

  • Top choice for family safaris and beach breaks in East Africa.
  • Authentic lodges and camps beam with exceptional service and panache of safari’s bygone era.
  • Exclusive and intimate spots offer romantic honeymoon options.
