Tanzania

TANZANIA

Tanzania is the epitome of the ultimate African safari, with its vast landscapes and contrasting spectacles. From Africa’s highest peak Mt Kilimanjaro, the Savannahs of the Serengeti; home to the Great Migration, the phenomena of the Ngorongoro Crater to the beaches of the ‘Spice Island’ of Zanzibar. Home to over 100 different tribes including the oldest hunter gatherers known as the Hadzabe & the synomonous Masaai nomadic pastoralists. Along with coastal traders from the East they were united via the trade language ‘Swahili’ which later became the official language for Tanzania at independence. Visitors can explore this expansive country through classic safaris, trekking, mountain biking, quad biking and mountaineering.

HIGHLIGHTS OF TANZANIA

Fish Eagle PARADISE ON AFRICAS LARGEST ‘ISLAND’ NATIONAL PARK

Rubondo Island National Park is a unique experience when visiting Tanzania as it is covered in forest and surrounded by water. Not only is it Africa’s largest island national park, but it also claims the highest density of African Fish Eagles in Africa. While many of the mammal species were introduced, there are some specialities and it is a great place for “mammal twitchers” to tick off Sitatunga, Suni, Bushpigs and Spot-necked otters which are all common. Combining it with traditional safari in Serengeti or Tarangire rounds a safari off by adding a new dimension of being on the water, with its incredible birdlife, pristine forest, and boating activities, such as fishing. Furthermore the Chimpanzee habituation programme in place, will allow travellers the opportunity to view them in the near future!
