Tanzania Holidays
Thrilling safaris and seductive shores
Home of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania offers the ultimate safari experience, ideal for intrepid travellers and explorers.
More than 1.5 million wildebeest migrate through the Serengeti National Park, making for one of the most fabulous sights you’ll ever see, while the quieter southern parks boast fantastic birdlife and wilderness. If you’re a nature lover, Tanzania is for you. From gazelles and zebras to lions, leopards and hyenas, this is a bucket list location you need to tick off; we recommend spending at least three nights on safari to truly make the most of the experience. For added luxury, head to one of the more opulent resorts, such as the Manta Bay Hotel that boasts a staggering underwater room on Pemba Island.
Combine your trip to Tanzania with Kenya for the ultimate safari, or, spend a few extra nights on Zanzibar or Pemba islands for beachfront paradise and white-sand heaven.

Top Tips from our Experts
Lucy
Destination Specialist
“The Serengeti took my breath away, and the Ngorongoro crater was the most beautiful place in the world. At some parts of the day it felt like I was on set of the Lion King. Plenty of wildlife to see. It's true what they say when they say you always leave a piece of your heart in Africa.”
Barbara
Destination Specialist
“The best views of the Serengeti can be seen from the front seat of your jeep. But, for an amazing view across the plains, head to the top of Naabi Hill or view it from a hot air balloon.”
Robert
Destination Specialist
“For a true wilderness experience head to the Selous Game Reserve. About the size of Wales, you can safari here without seeing another vehicle all day.”
