Ngorongoro Highlands & Crater Experiences

The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact Volcanic Caldera located in the Northern part of Tanzania. It was formed about 3 million years ago when an eruption occurred forcing the Volcanic mountain to collapse on itself. The Ngorongoro Crater is an iconic attraction and among Tanzania’s natural features listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Within the Ngorongoro Crater are other craters, a lake, swamps, and other landscapes that make wildlife journeys here unforgettable.

The crater is home to several wildlife species that include the big five mammals (Lions, leopards, Rhinos, Buffaloes, and elephants). The wildebeests are also many here and part of the wildebeest migration passes on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater. Other notable animals here include zebras, warthogs, serval cats, elands, and gazelles among others.

The Ngorongoro crater is a great birding destination with various bird species. Notable birds include flamingos, egrets, and herons most of which are seen while on game drives on the crater floor. Some of the top-notch luxury safari lodges are at the edge of the crater and many base from here to explore the vast Ngorongoro ecosystem. A Ngorongoro wildlife safari is a true definition of Tanzania luxury safari experience. It is more experiential with a lot to see in just one enclosure.

Serengeti Wildebeest Migration Safari

The great Wildebeest migration safari is an annual mass animal movement. It involves wildebeests, zebras, the topi, and gazelles moving from the Serengeti to Masai Mara ecosystems. Wildebeests are the highest in numbers totaling up to over 1 million, about 200,000 zebras plus over 100,000 gazelles. These major grazers are guided by seasons moving up north via central and western Serengeti to Masai Mara. They later return in a circular movement down south and the wildebeest migration journey begins again.

Serengeti National Park is also home to other animal species. The world’s largest land mammals (Elephants) are present here and are often seen freely roaming the Serengeti plains. Elands, buffaloes, Topi, zebras, black rhinos, and hyenas are also present here. Savanna’s big cats are also present and their survival is boosted by the various herbivores they prey on.

There are many permanent luxury camps and lodges but also mobile tented camps that move with the migration. With these, you can fully explore the best of Serengeti and true African luxury safari experiences. All our northern Tanzania journeys of Discovery feature Serengeti National Park and other leading destinations there. Our 8-day Tanzania Safari offers the best of Serengeti and the wildebeest migration plus the big cats experience. In case you do not have all that time then you can opt for a 4-Day Tanzania Tour

Fishing Safaris

Tanzania fishing safaris are not your usual African safari experience. These are done in the wild Southern, less explored part of Tanzania. Southern Tanzania has several water bodies ideal for fishing safaris including Kilombero River. Other nearby areas famous for fishing include the Mnyera & Ruhudji rivers. Fishing excursions here are done in different types of waters that range from streams, straights, and waterfalls.

There are about 15 fish species here including the Tanzanian Blue Tiger Fish which is considered to be the hardest-fighting freshwater game fish. On fishing safaris in the south, you get to explore Nyerere National Park which is currently Tanzania’s largest protected area. The park is home to several wildlife species including the African dog, elephants, lions, elands, buffaloes, birds and so much more.

Nyerere National Park is among the least explored wild places in Tanzania and safaris here are truly exclusive and remarkable. There are limited accommodation options here which is why it is important to book your luxury safari Journeys ahead of time especially when you intend to visit during the peak tourist season.

Balloon Safaris

Ballon Safaris offer a panoramic view of the ecosystem and they are now among the top Tanzania Luxury safari experiences you must do. Ballon safaris are arranged in the different Tanzania safari destinations and they give you the bird’s view. They are more enjoyable in open plains like in Serengeti National Park especially during the great wildebeest migration.

Balloon safaris are often organized early mornings when the winds are calm. Animals are active during this time of the day and you can also catch up with early risers. Early morning hours are also ideal to catch up with the sunrise above the horizon. While visiting Tanzania ensure to have a balloon safari experience and tick it off your bucket list.

Beach Holidays

The true definition of a luxury safari is crowned by a beach holiday and Tanzania got you covered. The country has the longest coastline in East Africa which gives it an advantage of the many white sand beaches, perfect for beach holidays. East Africa lies within the tropics and has one of the best weather conditions. It is therefore always beach time in Tanzania. You can choose to hang out and relax enjoying the sun or engage in beach sports activities like Beach Volleyball, and soccer, or can go for boat rides in the ocean.

There is also marine wildlife that can be added to the excursions you take while along the coast of Tanzania. Zanzibar Island is the most famous of all the beach holiday and marine wildlife destinations in Tanzania. It is also a historical island with a lot to uncover.

Some of the notable beaches in Tanzania include Kendwa Beach, Mnemba Island Beach, Ushongo Beach, Nungwi Beach, and Kipepeo Beach among others. We can organize for you an exclusive Tanzania luxury safari beach holiday or a combined savanna wildlife safari and beach holiday.
