Luxury Tanzania Holidays and Safaris

With its extinct volcanic crater, the Ngorongoro Crater, packed with wildlife; Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak; remote, wild national parks like Katavi and Ruaha, teeming with predators; and beautiful Indian Ocean beaches on Zanzibar and the Coast, Tanzania is one of our favourite African countries for a luxury safari and beach holiday or honeymoon.

Nowhere quite matches Tanzania for open savannah and if you're lucky enough to see the great migration as it roams across the legendary plains of the Serengeti National Park, you will have witnessed one of the most incredible wildlife experiences on the planet.

Our team have a particular passion for Tanzania and have a wealth of experience in tailor-making luxury Tanzania safaris: speak to our team to find out more.

Regions

Serengeti National Park Thumb

Serengeti National Park

The plains of the Serengeti are legendary: epitomising the Africa of wildlife documentaries. Mighty herds of the Great Migration roam across the savannah, giraffe munch on acacia trees in the setting sun, whilst leopards lounge languorously in the woodlands. Whether you’re in the thick of the migration, watching thousands of wildebeest ford the Grumeti River, or mesmerised by fluffy cheetah cubs tumbling amongst the grasses, the Serengeti is sure to impress. Our favourite way to see it? It’s got to be from the basket of hot air balloon, watching the sun rise over the park.

Lake Manyara Thumb

Lake Manyara National Park

Photogenic Lake Manyara National Park is a real treat. The Rift Valley escarpment tumbles down to the beautiful lake, where flocks of flamingos gather along the shoreline and fish eagles dart in and out of the water. Pods of hippos cluster in the lake, and elephants stand out like boulders against the barren shores. Around the lake’s edge is the forest, home to the park’s famous tree-climbing lions, and one of our favourite lodges in Africa, Lake Manyara Tree Lodge. Visit Lake Manyara between December and July to catch it in its most vibrant colours.

Ngorongoro crater Thumb

Ngorongoro Crater

Peering down into the Ngorongoro Crater is like gazing into the Garden of Eden. Descending the high walls of the crater you’ll see herds of elephant taking shape below, prides of lion stalking the waterholes and rhino moving sedately through the grasses. This is the only place in Tanzania where visitors are likely to see all of The Big Five in one location. The myriad of wildlife and the extraordinary scenery make this a must-see on Tanzania’s Northern circuit. For unforgettable views and ultimate luxury, stay at the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater Lodge.

Climbing Kilimanjaro Thumb

Climbing Kilimanjaro

Hankering for a challenge? Kili awaits. This tough trek will take you six days, but believe us when we say the views are worth it. You’ll ascend from tropical rainforest, through alpine desert, and right up to the glaciers that still cover ‘The Roof of Africa.’ Technical climbing skills are not required – just a sense of adventure and a little stamina. For a taster of trekking Exsus-style, check out our Conquering Kili itinerary, and to find out about the different routes on offer, call one of our travel experts.

Katavi National Park Thumb

Katavi National Park

Wilderness and authenticity are the name of the game in Katavi: going on safari as the explorers of old did. The air tingles with a sense of adventure and excitement. Woodland and river systems are interspersed with open grassland. Predators are lured by great buffalo herds and crocodiles bake in the mud on the riverbanks. Hippos jostle shoulder-to-shoulder in shallow pools, and vultures scour the ground for tempting meals. If you’ve been to Zambia and loved it, Katavi is the place for you.

Zanziba and islands Thumb

Zanzibar and Islands

Zanzibar is one of Africa’s most evocative names. The main island, Unguja, has miles of glistening white beaches, and extraordinary coral reefs in its Indian Ocean waters. Meanwhile the capital, Stone Town, is a maze of winding alleyways, crumbling colonial buildings and quirky hidden shops. Offshore are the tiny private islands of Mnemba and Chumbe, and to the north lies forest-covered Pemba which has remained largely un-changed for centuries. Last but not least is Mafia: south of Zanzibar this is an island of slow and easy charm, with tiny fishing villages, spectacular diving, and a wonderfully old fashioned air.

Selous Game Reserve Thumb

Selous Game Reserve

The mighty Selous is one of Africa’s largest game reserves, and one of Tanzania’s most varied. The Rufiji River is the lifeblood of the park, and many of the camps lie along its shores. Here you’ll see an astonishing variety and selection of birdlife: malachite kingfishers perched above the water, saddle-billed storks fishing in the shallows, and eagles surveying from the tops of trees. In the sandy river beds elephants dig for water, and lions lie in the shade of palm trees. The Selous is our top tip for Tanzania’s most varied safari experience, covering everything from game drives, to boat safaris, bush walks, fishing and even sleep outs under the stars.

Mahale Mountains National Park Thumb

Mahale Mountains National Park

Mahale is one Tanzania’s most captivating and remote national parks, reached by a six hour flight in a tiny plane from Northern Tanzania. Misty mountains covered in forest plunge down into the turquoise waters of Lake Tanganyika. Sailing along on an ancient creaking dhow you’ll float on water clear enough to see hippos swimming below you, and pass tiny, idyllic sandy coves. This is tropical beach of a truly magical kind, and the adventure doesn’t stop at the water’s edge. In the forests up above you’ll trek for chimpanzees, following their distant hoots through the trees till you come face to face with one of man’s closest relatives. Breathtaking.

Mainland Coast Thumb

Mainland Coast

The appeal of the offshore islands in the Zanzibar Archipelago means that Tanzania’s mainland beaches are rarely visited. We’ve seen them for ourselves though, and we’d definitely recommend their laid-back charms. Sweet, crumbling Pangani feels like the Zanzibar of forty years ago, while Ras Kutani’s quiet beaches feel a million miles removed from Dar es Salaam – just a few hours to the north. Tanzania’s principle city remains more of an overnight stop than anything else, but a couple of great hotels make this a fairly painless experience.

Tarangire National Park Thumb

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire is Northern Tanzania’s hidden gem. Hiding in the shadow of its more glamorous neighbours, but a little further off the beaten track, this is THE park to visit during the months of the dry season. In September and October huge herds of elephant gather in the park, numbering as many as a hundred at one time. Vast bulbous baobab trees stretch upwards into the skies and leopard slink amongst the grasses. Birders will be glued to their binos, watching eagles soar overhead and water birds flitting through the reeds in the natural wetlands.

Karatu Thumb

Karatu

Karatu’s a charming little highland town, often used as the base from which to visit the national parks at Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. However, if you’ve got a little more time to appreciate Northern Tanzania, it’s well worth a stop in its own right. The cool highland air makes it a wonderful spot to recharge your batteries and appreciate rural Tanzania. This might involve a visit to charming villages, farmhouse stays on the coffee plantations, and seeing Maasai herders leading their cattle to pasture.

Ruaha National Park Banner

Ruaha National Park

Ruaha is a name to make safari aficionados go misty-eyed and start dreaming of the bush. It’s one of Tanzania’s wildest parks, a vast area with towering baobab trees, sandy rivers that turn to torrents when the rains come, and with a foot in both East and Southern Africa. During the dry season months the Ruaha offers game viewing to rival anywhere in Africa. There are mighty herds of buffalo stalked by slinking prides of lion, leopard coughing in the night and elephants liable to stroll into camp just as you’re settling down for tea. This is a place of adventure, so expect the unexpected.
