As the migration dust settles, Tanzania provides two fabulous ways to get away from it all: our southern Tanzania safaris let you lose yourself in the remote vastness of the Selous, one of the last strongholds of the wild dog; or select a Zanzibar beach holiday and let the warm waves of the Indian Ocean and the tides of history wash over you.
Indulged, invigorated, intrigued – time spent in a country like Tanzania will leave you feeling all of these, and wanting more. In which case, think of our itineraries as the foundation, and let’s build you your dream treehouse, safari tent or villa with a bespoke trip.
Kibo Palace Hotel
Walking safaris are the purest form of safari. Walking in Tanzania is completely different to game driving. On foot you are a participant in the world of wildlife rather than a spectator, a thrilling and unbeatable safari experience.Walking is only available in certain areas and can be short day walks back to the same camp or can be mobile where the crew pack up your camp and move it for you – greeting you at the end of your day’s walking journey with sundowners.
Trekking is the next level of wild where you backpack through the wilderness and camp in a new location each night. Tents are lightweight, the team is very few so the focus is on immersion, getting stuck-in and wilderness rather than luxury.
Imagine, you walk on the same path as the elephants and other wildlife, you feel the wind through you hair, hear a lion roar in the distance and smell the bush and wildlife. Your senses awaken, as you become part of your environment and the wilderness becomes more real.
Fur Retreat Resort
Tanzania’s numerous parks and reserves offer many climbing options for the avid explorer.
The most frequent expeditions are obviously to Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru, but there are also other destinations such as the Crater Highlands. Trekking companies will happily put together an itinerary that suits your preferences and our ”things to bring” section will help to make sure that you are adequately prepared. It is advisable, especially when climbing at higher altitudes, to take things slowly and allow your body to acclimatize.
Mountaineering is sport, hobby or profession of walking, hiking, backpacking and climbing mountains.
Tanzania mountains vary in height, location, climate etc. Kilimanjaro which is the highest mountain in Africa have attracted many climbers from around the globe. Mount Meru (4566m.) and Ol Donyo Lengai (active volcano) are also popular. Other mountains in Tanzania are Mt. Hanang (3417m.), Longido (2629m.), Usambara Mountains, Mt. Lemagrut, Mt.

Enjoy coffee in a sunny garden cafe or tuck into a proper nyama choma barbecue feast accompanied by cold Kilimanjaro Lager. It’s also an opportunity to stock up on souvenirs like beaded jewellery, tanzanite gems and bright fabrics.
