Tanzania Safari

A Tanzania safari from Real Africa can be the highlight of any summer! Tanzania consists of the former country of Tanganyika and the island of Zanzibar, which combined in 1964 to create Tanzania. The new republic, on the east central coast of Africa, is home to several of the best wildlife refuges on that continent.

Whether you want to travel in luxury, or live close to the land for the duration of your trip, there is a tour package to meet your needs. Safaris range in length from 7 to 14 days, with a good variety of destinations and accommodation levels.

In the north of Tanzania lie the Serengeti desert and the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest undamaged volcanic caldera that is not flooded, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Both camping and lodge-based safaris are available to this region. A 9-day lodge and camping tour includes these and Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park, known for elephants and baobab trees.

In the south lie the Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park. The Selous is the largest wildlife reserve in the world, larger than the country of Switzerland! See virgin African bush, large-tusked elephants and endangered wild dogs on this Tanzania safari.

On the west of the country are the Mahale mountains, and Lake Tanganyka. The trek to this area includes the Katavi wilderness. Some travel will be on foot, and you can see the wild chimpanzee population in its native habitat.

Two safaris from Real Africa are designed with a more rustic, close to nature, plan. Large tents serve as accommodation, but a cook and driver/guide are provided. Both one and two-week camping trips are offered, in the north and to the island of Zanzibar.

At the other extreme, there is a 10-day boutique package. You will stay in some of the best lodges and fly to the more remote destinations such as the Serengeti. Shorter distances will be covered by car. This can be combined with a vacation stay on Zanzibar for a 14-day luxury vacation.

If you prefer more relaxation time, a 14-day vacation package includes two days at Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro. After flying to Zanzibar, the remainder of your time is spent at a lodge on the island beach.

All tours are private party reservations. For a vacation you will never forget, book a Tanzania safari with Real Africa.
