choose tanzania in east africa for eco tours.

Tanzania is an untamed, exotic location for wildlife safaris, eco photography and educational holidays.

Tanzania has more land devoted to national parks and game reserves than any other wildlife destination in the world. Everything from pristine coral reefs to the Crater Highlands, remote game reserves and the famous national parks are protected by government law and placed in trust for future generations to marvel at in wonder and awe. In addition to a listing of the main attractions of Tanzania, we have included many parks that are largely neglected in favour of the big names like Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It is our hope that in writing up these lesser-known locations, visitors may be tempted to include them on their itineraries and encourage tourism to other equally beautiful, parts of the country.

Most hunting reserves have been omitted due to restricted access for safari vehicles and wildlife tourists. Tanzania has incredible biodiversity, so wildlife populations and bird species often vary according to the season and region. A visit to one of the smaller game reserves for a short hiking trip or a day excursion is well worth the effort of an extended itinerary. Off the beaten track, the sights and sounds of Africa truly come alive.

Rugged remote areas such as Selous and Ruaha can be combined with Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.

For eco fundis who love hiking we can arrange hikes up Kiliminjaro and many other mountains in this piece of East African heaven.

A Tanzania wildlife safari is the quintessential East Africa travel experience. Tanzania hosts fantastic numbers of large animals and superbly aesthetic and natural wildlife viewing conditions. Our safaris travel to the best game areas of the Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire.

Our veteran game guides respond to your wildlife viewing and photography interests rather than a predefined schedule. Plan your Tanzania safari at any comfort or adventure level from mobile camping to very comfortable lodges, private camps and the most luxurious permanent tented camps. We offer regular departures and customized Tanzania safaris from 7 days to 3 weeks or more. Combine Tanzania with Kenya, Zanzibar, Rwanda, Uganda or other African destinations. Add Kilimanjaro or Mt. Meru hiking, a balloon safari, visits to native villages, schools or other cultural features. Tanzania is also a great destination for family safaris, student safaris and birding.
