Tanzania Safaris: Serengeti & Kilimanjaro
Tanzania holds the country's biggest natural spectacles in one place - the endless plains of the Serengeti, the wildlife-packed Ngorongoro Crater, and…
The Serengeti Never Really Stops Moving
Tanzania's protected areas cover roughly a third of the country, and the Serengeti ecosystem alone is large enough to hold the year-round movements of the wildebeest migration within its borders, without ever needing to cross into Kenya.
The Ngorongoro Crater packs an astonishing density of wildlife into a single collapsed volcanic caldera, while Kilimanjaro offers a non-technical but demanding climb to the roof of Africa. Add a few days in Zanzibar and the trip closes on white sand and warm water.
- Migration visible somewhere year round
- Ngorongoro Crater's dense wildlife
- Non-technical Kilimanjaro summit routes
- Zanzibar beach extension available

Tanzania Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need special fitness to climb Kilimanjaro?
No technical climbing skill is required, but a reasonable level of fitness and several months of preparation are recommended for the summit push.
Can I see the migration river crossings?
Crossings on the Grumeti and Mara rivers typically happen between May and July, though timing shifts with rainfall each year.
How long should I spend in Tanzania?
Most safari-only trips run 5 to 7 days; add 4 to 6 days if combining with a Zanzibar beach stay or a Kilimanjaro climb.
Is Zanzibar worth adding to a safari?
Yes, it's the most popular way to close a Tanzania trip - a direct flight from the northern circuit and a completely different pace.
