Wildlife enthusiasts can also explore the lesser-known wildlife, such as civets, bushbuck, and duikers, in Moshi. For a rewarding bird-watching experience, head to Lake Manyara, which is home to flamingos and pelicans. Visit Nyerere National Park to learn about Tanzania’s wildlife conservation efforts. Whether you are a wildlife photography enthusiast or a nature lover, Tanzania offers unforgettable encounters with its incredible wildlife.

“The four crew members, Erellah, Albert, Boniface and Amos were fantastic. Erellah is an excellent tourguide - very patient, funny, helpful: a delight and any group can consider themselves lucky to be in his care. Albert is a brilliant cook and made delicious vegan food for me: not easy to do in East Africa. He was fun and creative and all mealtimes were a pleasure. Boniface is by far the very best driver I've ever encountered: very patient, extremely skilled and was able to take us safely along very poor roads, while also taking care of the truck itself. Amos is very friendly and helpful and worked very hard to support the crew. I'm sure he will be a fantastic tourguide soon. All of the crew were fun to talk to and made us feel very welcome. The trip itself was spectacular - we were very lucky and managed to see many beautiful animals, including elephants, black rhino, white rhino, lions, cheetah and a leopard. I was lucky enough to spot a serval from the truck, but it slipped away into the grass before anyone else could see it. The pace of the trip was good - we covered a huge distance, but spent enough time in each place to get good wildlife spotting. The last few days on Zanzibar were a welcome treat too and really rounded everything off nicely. I will always have fond memories of the group and the trip. The group members were all great: friendly, interesting people I enjoyed meeting and hope to keep in touch with.”

“"I recently had the pleasure of booking accessible trip to Tanzania through this company, and I must say it was a truly remarkable experience. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to ensure that my trip was not only accessible but also filled with unforgettable moments. I highly recommend their services because the agency took the time to understand my specific accessibility needs and crafted an itinerary that accommodated every aspect of my journey. They carefully selected wheelchair-friendly accommodations, transportation, and attractions, allowing me to explore Tanzania comfortably and independently."”

“A truly memorable experience with some long journeys along some very bumpy and dusty roads but the rewards of close encounters with so much of East Africa's wildlife made it all worth while. Our group was 17 strong with 4 crew who worked tirelessly to ensure that we were able to enjoy our trip to the full and the truck had plenty of room for all of us to be able to enjoy the wildlife and catch some magic moments on camera. Camping is a great way to enjoy and experience the wildlife and although some of the camp sites are very basic the location more than makes up for it together with the fact that often we were the only campers.”

Bring a camera with a strong digital zoom or a lens for capturing distant shots of wildlife.
