Islands & CoastsTanzania boasts East Africa’s only game park with ocean frontage, and offshore islands with superb snorkelling and diving. The legendary spice island of Zanzibar offers superb beaches, a lush interior, an historic town, and a fascinating mix of African and Arabian cultures. Saadani National ParkTanzania’s newest national park and the only one in East Africa with ocean frontage, Saadani offers a unique mix of big game, rivers and beaches. Land animals include hippos, wildebeest, zebra, eland, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, lion and the rare Roosevelt's sable antelope, whilst dolphins frolic and humpback whales migrate in the Zanzibar channel, just offshore. Green turtles nest on the beach and there is good snorkelling to be enjoyed in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
Mafia Island National Park.Located a short flight from Zanzibar or Dar Es Salaam, this delightful archipelago of tiny islands, extensive coral reefs and beautiful white sand beaches provides excellent snorkelling and diving. Much quieter than Zanzibar, Mafia is wonderfully unspoilt with some attractive accommodation options.
ZanzibarIn fact an archipelago of islands incorporating Unguja to the south and Pemba to the north, Zanzibar has been captivating travellers for centuries. Its Arabian origins are reflected in the historic capital, Stone Town, a fascinating warren of narrow streets, overhanging balconies and huge, intricately carved wooden doors. Zanzibar has superb white sand beaches and some of the best snorkelling and diving in Africa, Pemba being particularly good. The main island’s interior is a colourful mix of spice plantations and rainforests inhabited by bush babies and the endemic Zanzibar red colobus monkey.

We combine two remote, little-visited parks of Ruaha and Selous in the south with exotic Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean to produce a well-rounded programme which provides a perfect balance of big game, sandy beaches, coral reefs, old architecture and African/Arabian culture. You will benefit from accommodation of a high standard and the convenience of flying by light aircraft, thus keeping long road journeys to a minimum. Find out more... Incorporating some of the most fabulous wildlife areas in Tanzania, this comprehensive itinerary stays well off the beaten track using small tented camps and, for the northern section, a private naturalist guide with 4x4 vehicle. September and October aside, you will be well placed the rest of the year for the legendary wildebeest migration. Experience a Tanzania tented camps safari in the style of a bygone era. Find out more... An extraordinary and unusual Ruaha, Katavi and Mahale safari in Tanzania’s remote west, a land of vast open plains, chimpanzee forests and very few tourists. If prepared to invest a little extra time and energy to escape the main safari routes, one is richly rewarded with large amounts of plains wildlife and the thrill of close encounters with chimpanzees. Time spent relaxing on Zanzibar rounds off an adventurous and exclusive wildlife experience. Find out more... We have condensed all the varied wildlife, great landscapes and local tribes of northern Tanzania into this compact tour offered at exceptional value. The region particularly comes alive from November to July when the wildebeest migration arrives – one of the world’s great natural history spectacles. Don’t miss it. |
The sheer wealth of animals in Serengeti is amazing. We have been on several previous safaris but never seen such vast herds. Dr J A, Cambridge.
