Great Migration

Marvel at hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebra as they thunder across the savannah. Take in river crossings packed with predator drama by day and savour starlit campfire storytelling by night.

Safari Adventures

Take off at sunrise and float in a hot air balloon above giraffes, elephants, lions, and the endless plains of the Serengeti or descend into the world’s largest intact caldera for a day of “big five” sightings.

Hiking Kilimanjaro

Summit the roof of Africa. Choose between challenging multi-day climbs or scenic foothill walks; every route offers wildflowers and panoramic drama that stirs the spirit.

Zanzibar Tours

Follow the scent of cinnamon and cloves from labyrinthine market streets to palm-fringed beaches. Learn centuries of Swahili, Arab, and Indian influences as you explore Stone Town and working spice plantations.

FAQs

Is Tanzania safe for travellers?
Toggle accordion

Tanzania is welcoming and popular for safaris, hiking, and coastal escapes. The usual common sense applies – respect local customs and consult one of our Journey Specialists for up-to-the-minute guidance.

When is the best time to see the Great Migration?
Toggle accordion

June–September for dramatic river crossings in the north; December–March for calving season drama in the south. The migration is not a once-off event. The herds are constantly moving, so your Journey Specialist will help you catch the action no matter when you choose to visit.

Do I need a visa for Tanzania?
Toggle accordion

Most visitors require a tourist visa, which can be arranged online or on arrival. Requirements can change, so it’s important to collaborate with your Journey Specialist.

Can I combine Tanzania with other destinations?
Toggle accordion

Yes. Tanzania combines seamlessly with Kenya, Rwanda, Zanzibar, or Southern Africa. There are frequent flights, and our expert team can assist with border crossings and logistics.

What should I pack for safari and beach?
Toggle accordion

Light, neutral-coloured clothing for safari, sturdy walking shoes, hat, sunblock, and a warm jacket for early mornings. Pack swimsuits, sandals, and lightweight fabrics for Zanzibar. Don’t forget binoculars!

The Serengeti was everything we'd hoped for and more. We saw lions, cheetahs, giraffes and countless wildebeest, but it was the sheer scale of the plains that surprised us the most. Photos don't quite capture it.

Travelling as a family, we wanted something adventurous but comfortable, and Tanzania delivered on both. Our children were fascinated by the animals and still talk about the baby elephants we saw near a watering hole.
