Tanzania Adventure Safari Holiday Vacations Destinations
Tanzania Adventure Safari Holiday Vacations Destinations offers a wide range of National parks as well as little visited game reserves and Private wildlife conservancies and concessions and not forgetting the sandy beaches and the remote Islands of Zanzibar Island, Pemba Island, Mnemba Private Island and Mafia Island in the Indian Ocean and Rhubondo Island in Lake Victoria.
The incredible endless plains of the Serengeti National Park, Northern Tanzania Destinations always attract many visitors, eager to see its prides of lions lazing in the shade and catch a glimpse of the elusive leopard, or to witness the herds of thundering wildebeest during the Great Migration. The breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater is rarely left out of a first-time itinerary. As the home of Africa’s largest concentration of wildlife, that not only offers sightings of black rhino, hippos and lions, but far-reaching views and wonderful sunsets.
Tanzania is also popular with experienced and private safari-goers thanks to its more remote southerly parks, which remain largely untamed and lesser-visited. Selous is Africa’s largest game reserve and offers a true wilderness adventure, with game viewing from vehicles, on foot or by boat along the mighty Rufiji River. Ruaha also offers a safari experience away from the crowds and is a birdwatcher’s paradise. Saadani is a coastal wildlife sanctuary, whilst Katavi sees few visitors to its wide-open plains.
Tanzania safaris also include visits to a Maasai village, and Olduvai Gorge is one of the world’s most significant archaeological sites. And for the more active, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro provides extensive views over the Kenyan plains.

Rubondo Island, Northern Tanzania Destinations. Imagine an African fish eagle guarding the gentle bay shrieks an alarm, head tossed back. A well-fed monster of a crocodile snaps to life, startled from its nap in the morning sun. It stampeded through the crunchy undergrowth, crashing into the water in front of our boat, leaving only sentry post eyes skeptically monitoring our movements. Welcome to Rubondo Island National Park tucked in a corner of Lake Victoria.
Mikumi National Park, Southern Tanzania Destinations. Swirls of opaque mist hide from the advancing dawn. The first shafts of sun color the fluffy grass heads rippling across the plain in a russet halo. Confident in the camouflage of their stripes at this predatory hour, Zebras pose for our pleasure, like ballerinas on stage, heads aligned, stripes merging, flowing motion this is Mikumi National Park at dawn.
Lake Natron a soda lake located at the base of the active Ol Donyo Lengai volcano and the only known breeding ground for East Africa's lesser flamingos.
Ol Donyo Lengai Mountains, Northern Tanzania Destinations. To the north of the Ngorongoro Crater you find the Maasai’s Mountain of God (Ol Donyo Lengai). This is a wild and fascinating area with an active volcano and we recommend a few nights here to gain an insight into Maasai culture.
The Udzungwa Mountains are almost unearthly. The mountains are primeval, burgeoning with rampant verdant growth. An enchanted forest of leafy glades freckled with sunshine, where fungus, lichen, moss and ferns ingratiate themselves into every damp crevice.
