Tanzania Safaris

Spectacular safaris, untouched nature & unforgettable adventures

Luxury Tanzania Safari and Beach Holidays

A journey to Tanzania combines world-famous safaris with breathtaking landscapes. In the Serengeti you can witness the Great Migration, while the Ngorongoro Crater offers encounters with the Big Five against one of Africa’s most dramatic backdrops. Tarangire is renowned for its elephant herds and towering baobabs, while in the south, Ruaha and Selous (Nyerere National Park) promise vast wilderness with few other visitors.

For those planning an individual Tanzania safari tour, the country offers the perfect blend of adventure and diversity. After days in the bush, Zanzibar awaits with white beaches, turquoise waters and an oriental flair – an ideal way to round off your safari.

As one of my first adventures in Africa, Tanzania sparked an incomparable passion in me. This country, with its warm-hearted people, has secured a permanent place in my heart and never lets me go. Every time I think back, I feel spoiled for choice: was it the breathtaking moment when I found myself in the middle of a family of elephants in Tarangire, or the unforgettable sundowner in the wilderness of Ruaha National Park? Every memory of Tanzania is magical and lasts forever!

Highlights & Experiences in Tanzania

Tansania ist vielseitig, groß und voller Gegensätze. Diese Erlebnisse zeigen, was unterwegs möglich ist – und was eine Reise wirklich besonders macht.

Northern vs. Southern Circuit – Which Route Fits Best?

The north of Tanzania is home to the country’s most iconic parks: Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara. Famous landscapes and exceptional wildlife density make this region ideal for a first-time Tanzania safari tour. The south, with vast Ruaha and Nyerere National Park (Selous), offers a very different experience – remote, wild and with far fewer visitors. Safaris here feel untamed and authentic. While the north delivers world-renowned highlights, the south impresses with space, solitude and depth. Combining both circuits creates a diverse journey that reveals just how varied a Tanzania safari can be.

The Great Migration Calendar

Few natural events are as captivating as the Great Migration. Throughout the year, millions of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles cross the Serengeti in search of water and fresh grass. From January to February, the southern plains host the calving season, when thousands of newborns appear within days. In summer, the herds move north, facing the dramatic river crossings of the Mara. Being in the right place at the right time is key to experiencing this spectacle. We design your Tanzania safari so you can witness the migration where it is at its most impressive.

Safari in Different Ways – On Foot, by Boat or Balloon

Game drives are just one way to explore Tanzania. A walking safari brings the bush to life step by step – every sound and track becomes an adventure. On boat safaris, you drift silently across rivers and lakes, passing hippos and crocodiles in their natural habitat. And in the Serengeti, a sunrise hot air balloon flight offers breathtaking views over endless plains and wildlife herds. Mixing these safari activities adds variety and depth to your journey. It is the perfect way to experience Tanzania from perspectives that go far beyond the classic 4x4 drive.

Safari and Beach – Zanzibar, Pemba & Mafia

After days of adventure in the savannah, the Indian Ocean awaits. Zanzibar is the best known of Tanzania’s islands, with white-sand beaches, coral reefs and the winding alleys of Stone Town. Pemba is more tranquil, a secret tip for divers and those seeking peace. Mafia Island is a paradise for nature lovers, where whale sharks can be seen from October to March. Combining a safari with a beach holiday shows Tanzania in its full variety. Moving seamlessly from bush to beach creates the perfect balance of excitement and relaxation.

Tanzania Tours – By Road or By Air?

Distances in Tanzania are long, and how you travel shapes your experience. A journey by 4x4 reveals landscapes and daily life up close but can involve many hours on the road. Domestic flights shorten travel times and allow more days for wildlife viewing. Often, the best solution is a mix: drive in the north, where parks lie close together, and fly to the south or the coast. This balance makes a luxury Tanzania safari both efficient and rewarding. We tailor your itinerary so that your route has the right rhythm – giving you time for both adventure and relaxation.

Authentic Encounters – Traveling Respectfully

Tanzania is not only a land of wildlife but also of people. Markets in Arusha, spice tours on Zanzibar and visits to small rural communities give insight into everyday life. What matters is choosing experiences that are genuine and respectful. We work with partners who value fairness and authenticity, ensuring that encounters feel real rather than staged. These moments leave lasting impressions and broaden horizons. Experiencing Tanzania this way means understanding the country beyond its safaris – through its culture, traditions and people.
