Where to go in Tanzania
From the Serengeti plains to the chimpanzee forests of Lake Tanganyika and the reefs of the Indian Ocean, Tanzania protects more of its land for wildlife than almost any other country. Each place below has its own wildlife, its own best season and its own conservation story. Tell us what you would love to see, and we will help you choose.
Northern Tanzania
The classic safari country: the Serengeti and its Great Migration, the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire’s elephants and Lake Manyara, all linked by road from Arusha and Kilimanjaro International Airport. This is the easiest region for a first safari, and the best place to see the Big Five.
Southern Tanzania
Wild, uncrowded and close to Dar es Salaam. Boat safaris in Nyerere, open plains in Mikumi, rainforest hikes in Udzungwa and the remote predator country of Ruaha.
Western Tanzania
Remote and unforgettable. Fly from Dar es Salaam to Kigoma, then travel by boat on Lake Tanganyika to track wild chimpanzees in Gombe and Mahale, or explore the great wilderness of Katavi.
Coast and islands
White beaches, coral reefs and Swahili history. End a safari or a climb on Zanzibar, dive off Pemba, swim with whale sharks off Mafia, or see elephants near the beach in Saadani.
Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru
Africa’s highest mountain and its quieter neighbour, both climbed with our guides, porters and cook. Mount Meru rises inside Arusha National Park and is a fine climb on its own or before Kilimanjaro.
