A Tanzania safari is like no other. Here you can see The Big 5, witness The Great Migration, visit Serengeti National Park and combine your safari with some beach time on Zanzibar; and that's just for starters! There are countless places to go, sights to see and properties to choose from.
When choosing a Tanzania safari, you may consider experiencing the famous Northern circuit, home to the Serengeti and Great Migration. The Southern circuit, known for its walking and boat activities, or the wilder Western circuit, home to Tanzania's chimpanzees!
