In Tanzania, more land is under wildlife and wildlife conservation work than in any other country in Africa. So a taste of Tanzania invariably must in part be a taste of wilderness travel.

What is there to see?

Of course the Kilimanjaro. One of the main reasons visitors come to this beautiful country is to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa at 5895m high.

National Parks and Game Reserves- some of the game sanctuaries are so vast and so remote, that there are places that are virtually still untrod and just in their original form. Elephants, lions, buffalo, hyenas, zebra, giraffe and all other varieties of African wildlife can be seen here.

The Serengeti National park is known world over for research on ecological conservation. It is where the big annual Serengeti-Maasai Mara wildebeest migration begins.

On the eastern shores of lake Tanganyika is the Mahale Mountains where the world’s largest population of chimpanzees live.

The coast on the shores of the Indian Ocean has also much to see. Zanzibar island and the surrounding islands are home to a very rich cultural mix dating back many years to the days of the slave trade and the spice trade. The Swahili Arab influence can be seen in the Stone City of Zanzibar.

Activities to do:

Camping Safari are special in Tanzania. Camp outdoors with campfires under open skies and listen to the sounds of the animals.

Walking safaris are a specialty of wilderness travel in Tanzania. You set off from base camp every morning and travel on foot into the wild with vehicle escort and the watchful eye of experienced guides, and get back in the evening the richer for your safari trek efforts.

Water sports enthusiasts will enjoy the sun and sand of Zanzibar Island and Pemba and it is also one of the regions popular honeymoon spots. A good way to end your wilderness travel safari.

So whether you are a nature lover, bird watcher, wildlife enthusiast, a camping fanatic, a seasoned mountaineer, an ecologist or just a plain romantic, it is all there for you in a Tanzanian wilderness travel.
