Tanzania and Zanzibar

Tailor-made tours of Tanzania and tours of the most important National Parks

Tanzania – the true pearl of East Africa and home to the Big Five: lion, buffalo, rhino, elephant, and leopard. These are the most beautiful mammals on the continent, and each of you would surely love to see them in their natural habitat. A personal guide will take you to the most beautiful corners of the country. You will visit, among others: the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti Plains, Lake Manyara, the Selous Game Reserve, and the coffee plantations on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro; for true connoisseurs, the office CARTER® offers the Great Migration of animals and less visited Tanzania. It is worth taking a trip to Ruaha Park, where endemic species of monkeys and animals live, and to Gombe Park, a 3-hour flight from Dar Salaam by small plane. Gombe Park and the Mahale Mountains lie along the northern coast of Lake Tanganyika. These are the smallest national parks in Tanzania, famous primarily for groups of wild chimpanzees. Lake Tanganyika is an attraction in itself, it is worth mentioning that it is the second deepest lake in the world after Baikal. Other attractions in the area include fishing, diving, bird watching and blissful relaxation on untouristy beaches with white sand.

The Great Migration in Tanzania is one of the greatest natural spectacles on Earth. Every year, 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras, and approximately 500,000 Thomson's gazelles follow the rainfall and seasonal green pastures. To guarantee the best accommodations for this incredible event in the Tanzanian savanna, it's worth booking your trip up to a year in advance. Around April, wildebeests and their calves head north into Tanzania, arriving at the Grumeti River in June. In July and August, large groups migrate through the Serengeti, and in September, they reach the Mara River. The Mara River forms the border between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya and presents a natural obstacle in the animals' path. The high escarpments of the riverbank and the numerous crocodiles lurking in the waters present a significant migration challenge. Not all antelopes and zebras will reach the fertile pastures of the Masai Mara.

Observing the Great Migration from a balloon, a trip to track chimpanzees in the Mahale Mountains or a flight around Kilimanjaro in a small plane are just a few of the attractions during trips around Tanzania.

Tanzania – the essence of Africa

Tanzania is located in Africa, at its eastern tip, and its neighbor to the east is the Indian Ocean. This is a direction that apart Kenya i RPA boasts the most popular tourism destination in Africa. Luxury trips to Tanzania have been a staple of African itineraries for many years, and the safaris there are unparalleled. Did you know that Tanzania is surrounded by three great lakes to the west, north, and south? These are Lakes Victoria, Tanganyika, and Malawi. Furthermore, the country is nestled within vast savannah fields, which adorn its interior and contribute to the country's true beauty.

It's worth knowing that, beyond its tropical shores, Tanzania boasts the fantastic island of Zanzibar, an idyllic destination for tourists from around the world, a blend of cultures, and a place offering endless opportunities for relaxation. Zanzibar is Africa's gateway to luxury, unforgettable adventure, and paradise. Here, you'll also find exclusive hotels, heavenly beaches, and the wonderfully turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
