Tanzania Sunset

If your primary reason for traveling to Africa is to experience an abundance of African wildlife in unspoilt wilderness, Tanzania should be your destination of choice. A wildlife safari is just one reason to visit this beautiful country, and for the more adventurous, climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is a highlight of their Tanzanian experience. Hiking through the rolling hills of the Ngorongoro Highlands or up the active Oldonyo Lengai, rising out of the Great Rift Valley, provide more intimate experiences with the land and people.

Tanzania truly is a dream holiday destination that welcomes visitors from its highest peaks to its deepest lake, from its endless plains to its clear blue waters. Vast numbers of herd animals, predators and bands of apes coupled with the country’s dedication to preservation make Tanzania the optimal choice for exploration and safaris.

Global Basecamps is offering exclusive specials on trips to Tanzania booked through February 28, 2010.

Sample Tanzania Adventures

Tanzania Safari

Northern Circuit Safari

The Tanzania Northern Circuit Safari is the perfect way to experience the best of Tanzania's northern parks with visits to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. The mere mention of the word ‘Serengeti’ conjures up images of amazing African wildlife wandering endless, treeless plains, whereas Lake Manyara is dramatically bordered by the sheer wall of the Rift Valley on one side and the shores of the lake on the other. This private guided safari not only visits three of the country's national parks and travels through some of the most important wildlife conservation areas in the world but is operated by local Maasai cooperatives and places heavy emphasis on cultural interaction with local villages and communities.
Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Kilimanjaro Trekking

Climbing to the 'rooftop of Africa' is a highlight of any visit to Tanzania and can be achieved by seasoned trekkers to reasonably fit first-timers. Its beautiful and diverse ecosystems are surpassed only by the breathtaking views from the summit. Whether trekking with local porters who have been born and raised in the shadow of Kilimanjaro or navigating your way from village to village in the highlands with loaded donkeys, trekking and hiking in Tanzania is a challenge to cherish – a ‘must do’ life experience. Choose from the Machame Route, the second most popular route to Kibo and a beautifully scenic route commencing with rain forests and the dry area of Shira Plateau or The Rongai Route, a remote, drier and one of the least crowded routes.
Wildebeest Migration, Tanzania

The Great Wildebeest Migration

Our Wildebeest Migration Safaris are incredible roving safaris that follow the path of the hundreds of thousands of wildebeest on their annual migration through the northern reaches of Serebgeti National Park and across the Mara River into Kenya. We've chosen beautiful small tented camps in remote regions of the Greater Serengeti Ecosystem to ensure that every day is filled with as much prime game viewing as possible and you will also have a chance to visit several of Tanzania's other famous parks including Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. All of our safaris also spend a considerable amount of time in local Maasai communities giving you a complete understanding of what life in this incredible area is truly like.
Zanzibar, Tanzania

Enchanting Zanzibar

For a thousand years, Zanzibar was one of the world's crossroads of trade, with Europeans, Persians and Arabs attracted to its exotic exports. Stone Town, as Zanzibar Town is commonly called, is an exotic world, completely different from mainland Tanzania. The town's architecture is a testimony to the cultural heritage of gold, ivory and cloth trade that allowed merchants from around the Indian Ocean to accrue great wealth and build the signature high stone buildings of Stone Town. An escape to the beaches reveals even more of the soul of Zanzibar. Soft bleached sands and cool turquoise waters coupled with spectacular sunsets is the pinnacle of a Tanzanian adventure.
