Customizable Tours to Tanzania - Your Trip, Your Way

Famed for being home to the “big five”, anyone planning a custom Tanzania trip should include at least a couple of days of safari in their itinerary. However, the Great Wildebeest Migration, where millions of animals stomp through the acacia-scented savannas of Serengeti, is just one of Tanzania’s major highlights. Include a Mount Kilimanjaro trek or top off your trip with a getaway to Zanzibar? Reach out to our travel experts today to craft your very own customized tour to Tanzania. When to go to Tanzania The period between July and September is ideal for chasing wildlife, as this is when the weather is clear and the annual migration takes place. It is also a great time to hike and trek Mount Kilimanjaro. Few travelers choose the months of April and May when heading for Tanzania, as heavy showers during this time of year are inimical to game drives. Birders prefer the months between November to April when migratory birds flock to Tanzania’s lakes. Learn more. How long to stay in Tanzania A Tanzania adventure lasting ten days or more is highly recommended for those who wish to delve deeper into the astounding beauty of this country. Visit lesser-known wildlife reserves in the northern safari circuit, like Tarangire, during your stay in the country and incorporate destinations like Selous and the African Great Lakes in your itinerary. If ten days isn’t possible, try at least a week-long trip. Learn more. Must-visit destinations in Tanzania The scorching plains and emerald lakes of Tanzania are home to numerous national parks, namely Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. In addition to the usual fare, the brooding woods of Udzungwa are worth exploring, and Mikumi, yet another underrated destination, is a great place to spot the big five. Zanzibar’s Nungwi Beach is a sunny paradise frequented by many, while the ivory sands of Mnemba Island exude luxury and exclusivity.
