Best Experiences on Safaris in Tanzania
Safaris in Tanzania offer much more than wilderness and wildlife, and one of the most impressive attractions available to you is the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro.
Africa’s highest mountain stands at 19,340 feet above sea level and has long been a favourite with adventure seekers and safari enthusiasts in Tanzania.
The snow-capped mountain can be seen for miles around and is encircled by a forest inhabited by large mammals, including leopard, elephant, antelope and buffalo.
On safaris in Tanzania, you can arrange to visit Kilimanjaro and either stand in awe at its dramatic beauty or climb its summit. Climbing the mountain doesn’t require any experience or technical expertise, but it requires a strong level of fitness and health and a lot of dedication.
Climbing this mountain is an unforgettable experience, so if you are interested in doing so, you should discuss it with your tour operator.
A Great Migration Safari
The great wildebeest migration is a magnificent natural event every year in Tanzania. The migration is the movement of large numbers of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle. Throughout the year, the herds are constantly on the move in search of fresh grazing and better quality water, fighting their way through herds of prey and challenging environments. You can witness this spectacular event on a great migration safari in Tanzania, where you can follow the herds in many beautiful ways. Try mobile camping to stay close to the migration, enjoy game drives across the Serengeti plains, take walking safaris deep in the bush, book a horseback safari to join the herds, or why not rise in the skies for the best hot air balloon ride of your life?
Trekking Chimps in the Mountains
The Mountains National Park is one of the country’s most remote areas and can only be reached via a boat or from the air when on safaris in Tanzania. Dramatic mountains, lush forests and white sandy beaches form the backdrop to this beautiful setting, and it is here that you can get up close to the 17,000 chimpanzees that reside here. With an expert guide, you’ll move deep into the forests, following the sounds and smells of the chimps until you reach them in their huddles, preening each other and going about their day to day lives. Chimpanzees are the main attraction here, but the surrounding environment is also the home to many red, red-tailed and blue monkeys and an array of exotic birds.
