Tanzania Wildlife Holidays

The magnificent Serengeti, the mammoth Ngorongoro Crater and the annual Great Migration make it easy to see why so many wildlife enthusiasts find themselves gravitating towards Tanzania. It’s a safari and wildlife spotting destination without equal, with world-renowned national parks, like the Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park, offering some of the best game viewing around. You can spot the entire Lion King cast, as they weave their way through the breath-taking landscape, tick off the classic Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and African buffalo), and go in search of some lesser-spotted creatures, such as the African wild dog, a rare canine with a unique ‘painted’ coat, which can be found in Tanzania’s southern parks. Of course, it’s not all animals and no play, with plenty of opportunities to take in the immensity of Lakes Victoria and Tanganyika; flop coast-side and dive beneath the Indian Ocean for a marine safari; or for the particularly intrepid, even scale Mount Kilimanjaro. However you’re spending it, when it comes to Tanzania wildlife holidays our experts can ensure you take a walk on the wild side and experience all that this incredible country has to offer.

Tanzania Wildlife Holidays Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

There’s no place like Tanzania. In fact, it’s a wildlife hub and destination unlike any other, with countless world-renowned parks that’re longing to be explored. There’s the Serengeti National Park, that needs no introduction, with its epic landscape and Big Five spotting opportunities. Or Zanzibar and its neighbouring islands, that offer white sand shores and equally captivating marine life. However Tanzania wildlife holidays are spent, you can be sure that it’ll be a memorable trip unlike any other.


Visit The Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater

Experience the wonder of the Serengeti and the mammoth Ngorongoro Crater, home to fiery sunsets that bask the savannah in warm-toned hues, as the Big Five attempt to coexist in the varied landscape. Gentle giant elephants roam among elands, hartebeests and endangered rhinos in the crater. While resident wildebeests and zebras stay a little longer, avoiding the annual migration. Meanwhile, hippos can be seen in the permanent fresh-water pools and swamps - the perfect spot to snap the abundance of wildlife in its natural habitat.


A Trip to Gombe Stream National Park

Wildlife lovers rejoice, as a journey to Gombe Stream National Park, located in the westernmost region of Tanzania, sees you nestled along the shores of Lake Tanganyika in great company. Granted that company is the countless playful chimpanzees and other primates that the park plays host to, but this small and mighty region isn’t to be overlooked. In fact, this Tarzan-esq spot certainly packs a punch, with a sprawling and expansive landscape that marries wild woodlands, steep swooping valleys and grasslands, with the buzz of a tropical rainforest thrown in for good measure too. Plus, the cheeky faced monkeys and primates swinging overhead are pretty hard to resist!
