When it comes to safari, Tanzania really does have it all. It is the kind of place which experienced safari hands could easily visit four or five times, but it also makes for a fantastic first-time safari. Tanzania is the largest country in East Africa and almost one-third of its land is protected for wildlife conservation. It’s not only home to world-famous safari destinations that attract many tourists, but also lesser-known reserves that feel wild and remote.
Tanzania is quite possibly the quintessential African destination. Safari is certainly one of the most popular among our clients. It is the kind of place which experienced safari hands could easily visit four or five times, but it also makes for a fantastic first-time safari. These are some of the reasons why we love Tanzania safaris.
The Serengeti is the site of the Great Migration, where around 2.5 million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle follow the rains in a never-ending cycle around the park. The Ngorongoro Crater, a caldera created 2 to 3 million years ago, is one of the most game-rich areas of East Africa. Outside the crater, Maasai people share the land with wildlife. Most tourists favour the better-known northern parks, so those who travel to the baobab-studded Ruaha National Park and the vast, wild Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) in the south have the privilege of an exclusive safari experience.

Along with the “Big 5”, a very pleasant sighting would be one of Africa’s most beautiful animal – The Impala. The Serengeti ecosystem supports the greatest remaining concentration of plains game in Africa. You must also look out for the Serengeti “Kopjes” which are massive boulders of granite standing in a sea of grass. They provide ample shelter to a large variety of flora and fauna. A picnic lunch will be done during the day long game drive itself. The eventful day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.

The central portion of the Serengeti - known as Seronera area is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.
During the off season of the migration, one must really look out for the many lion prides that thrive in this region. The interactions and survival of these lion prides provide an excellent game viewing experience all year round. Along with a picnic lunch during the full day game drive, the day will come to a close by the late afternoon.

Climbing Options
A trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro is a magnificent and spectacular undertaking, one which ranks among the greatest outdoor challenges on the planet. Kilele Savane LTD is the leading specialist in climbs up Mount Kilimanjaro. We have all successfully climbed Kilimanjaro over the years and have sent hundreds of climbers to the summit of Africa. We intimately know all of the various routes to the summit, and the realities of climbing Kili, and we are of course partnered with the very best climb team on Mount Kilimanjaro. We are also proud partners of the Kilimanjaro Porters Assistant Project organization that strives to protect the well-being of the quite incredible porters who make any Kilimanjaro trek possible.
Kilimanjaro's snow-capped peak is one of the most awe-inspiring sights in Africa. Straddling the Kenya/Tanzania border, the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro rises up to an impressive 5896 meters above sea level. It is one of the world's highest volcanoes, the highest mountain on the African continent, and the highest free-standing mountain on earth; making it an international destination attracting trekkers and mountaineers from around the globe.
Since Kilele Savane LTD is the best tour company to climb Kilimanjaro. We organize hikes to the Mountain's peak using five different routes: Machame, Marangu, Rongai, Lemosho, Umbwe, Shira, and Northern Circuit. Despite the training, no special equipment (other than walking aids) or prior expertise is necessary to climb Kilimanjaro. All you'll need is a reasonable level of fitness and an uncommon level of certainty (the last 500 meters of the climb to the peak will be extremely difficult regardless of your physical state).
The seasons must be considered while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro: There are two "blustery" seasons, from mid-November to mid-December, as well as April and May, although global climate trends can render these "wet months" dry sometimes. Regardless, we schedule excursions during the rainy season, and while rain might be inconvenient, it can also bring snow to higher elevations, making the entire experience even more spectacular. You'll also have the mountain almost entirely to yourself, allowing you to admire it without the crowds.
Beach Options
The perfect combination along with an East African safari is a stopover at one of the region’s tropical island getaways. Here white sand beaches extend as far as the eye can see, palm leaves wave in the breeze and crystal-Clear water is ever-so inviting. Of the many islands off the east coast of mainland Tanzania, two stand out: Zanzibar Island, also known as Spice Island, and Mafia Island further south, where marine life is protected and plentiful.
The capital city, Zanzibar city is to the west of the island and the center of it is known as Stone Town. Stone Town is a world heritage site full of great historic attractions. Many of the narrow old winding streets and tall townhouses have remained untouched and visitors can explore the atmospheric labyrinth alone or on guided tours. But by far the main attraction to Zanzibar is its world-class white sand, and palm-fringed beaches.
The east and northern coasts of the island are lined with many fine hotels and small accommodation venues. A great way to enjoy the tropical paradise is to walk along the beach and visit other lodges for meals or mid-day cocktails. Some of the best swimming is in the north of the island where the access isn’t as restricted by tides as on the eastern coastline. The greatest part about Zanzibar is there are plenty of activities to keep one busy but it’s also the perfect location to do absolutely nothing but relax before or after a safari!
PACKAGE OVERVIEW
Relax in the evening at one of the rooftop restaurants as the sweet smell of cloves wafts in on the cool Indian Ocean breeze and escape to a distant beach and let your cares slip away like the tide from the silky white sand or chase a multi-hued angelfish while snorkeling the warm waters of a reef.
TOUR TIMELINE
Day 1: Arrival / Zanzibar East Coast

Breakfast and relaxing morning at the beach before transfer to Stone Town.

Stone Town is rich with the history, culture, and architecture of the diverse peoples that have called the island home. A walking tour is the only way to truly experience this ancient city, which exists today much as it did when Zanzibar was a great trading center known the world over for spices, ivory, and slaves. The two and a half hour tour takes you through the streets and back alleys to Stone Town’s famous and infamous spots, including the location of the slave market, Sultans’ palaces, Beit el Ajaib (House of Wonders), the old Arab Fort, artists’ studios, and museums. Feel the rhythm of life in the main marketplace, alive with the chatter of locals bargaining in Swahili and the vibrant palette of colors from the fabrics, tropical fruits, spices, and intricately carved wooden handicrafts.
The Zanzibar Coffee House provides a touch of magic and romance in the heart of Stone Town. The hotel is an exquisitely transformed mansion, originally built in 1885 in authentic Arab style by the Wazir to Sultan Said Bargash, containing harmonious interiors, antique furniture, rich fabrics and traditional Zanzibar four-poster beds. The day begins in the tower top teahouse for breakfast with fresh coffee and homebaked goods from the hotel’s cafe. At the end of the day, as you relax with the sunset and gaze across the minarets, there’s a feeling of timelessness that conjures up a bygone era.

The buildings were never used as a prison and instead became a quarantine center. The ruins are still intact and the cells can be visited. A protected colony of giant tortoises – some over 100 years old – live on the island. A number of rare bird species may also be seen on the island.
