Great for: Wildebeest Migration, Kilimanjaro, rare wildlife sightings
Shaped by the ancient Great Rift Valley, Tanzania has some of the most diverse landscapes on the African continent. While the plains of the Serengeti National Park – home to the majority of the Great Wildebeest Migration – are certainly a highlight for safari-goers, Tanzania’s highlands and beaches have plenty to offer too.
Tree-climbing lions, endangered wild dogs and 30,000 animals roaming the floor of a volcanic caldera are just some of the exceptional sightings that await visitors. Then there’s the majesty of Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, and the blissful barefoot luxury that awaits on Zanzibar, Mnemba and Tanzania’s other islands.

Eastern Africa in general is a medium risk Malaria area. Malaria is still present and risk is dependent on the specific area you are visiting. We advise getting in touch with our team if you have any questions regarding the malaria risk in the area you will be visiting. Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda are medium risk areas and some of our clients choose to not take malaria prophylactics when visiting these destinations. Preventative methods including long sleeve shirts, long trousers and mosquito spray are advised, especially after sunset and in the rainy months. If you are traveling to Eastern Africa while pregnant, we advise you to consult with a doctor. The responsible decision is to take malaria prophylactics when visiting Malaria areas.
