Tanzania

Tanzania sits on the east coast of Africa with a long coastline on the Indian Ocean and the Zanzibar Archipelago ofUnguja, Pemba, Mafia and numerous other tropical islands, her main tourism attractions are the wildlife infested national parks clustered into two groups: the Northern Circuit (Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti as well as many other Wildlife Management Area designates) and the Southern Circuit (Selous, Ruaha, Mikumi, Mahale and Ngombe Stream national parks and other Wildlife Management Area designates). But the country is also famous for adventure tourism including mountain climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru (the second tallest) as well as beach and leisure holidays in Zanzibar, Pemba, Mafia and Dar es Salaam. Other tourism attractions include culture, birding, meetings, incentives, conferences and events.

Popularly referred to as the land of Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar her most popular spots include the proverbial kopje studded endless plains of Serengeti National Park that are awash with wild game including lions, elephants, leopard, giraffe, antelopes, buffalo, zebra, thousands upon thousands of other no lesser plains game; stunning African nature reminiscent of a real life Disneyland dating back eons and that never ceases to amaze. Ngorongoro is the biggest natural caldera in the world whose 10 km wide sunken crater is a wild life haven of unparalleled beauty wherein resides thousands of wild game – it is the only park in Tanzania where one can see wild rhinoceros and with relative ease. While Lake Manyara is famous for her tree climbing lions in the backdrop of this beautiful lake, Tarangire National Park, the final grand park in the northern safari circuit is famous for her contrast of gigantic baobab trees and unmistakably large and towering elephants only comparable to Kenya’s Amboseli and that remain relatively wild. The park must also have arguably the largest buffalo herds found anywhere in Africa.

Mt. Kilimanjaro is Africa’s tallest, the world’s second tallest and tallest free standing mountain) and the most popular climb because of her even gradient and well-formed peak. Every year, thousands of adventurists test her mettle and are glad to raise their flag and pop champagne atop her snow-capped peak, the rooftop of Africa. Mt. Meru, Kilimanjaro’s little sister just across the Maasai steppe/west Kilimanjaro in Arusha National Park is another hikers’ attraction with options for a three day climb to her rugged peaks or several different day long hikes on her fringes amongst troops of Black and White Colobus Monkeys and many mammal species.

The spice island of Zanzibar and adjacent Pemba are the haunt of many beach lovers who savor her white sandy beaches from the north to south in addition to cultural tours in her ‘capital’ Stone Town with Arab, Persian and European historical relics dating back to the 13thCentury. The Spice farms themselves are a throwback to the 19thcentury when Zanzibar was governed by the Arab sheikhs and whose cultural influences have remained to this day and can be seen through dress, food, religion and association. NB: although Tanganyika and Zanzibar formed a federation in the 60s which became Tanzania, Zanzibar retains semi-autonomy with an own parliament and ‘president’.

To the west of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania financial capital lying on the Indian Ocean are the relatively untraveled Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha national wildlife parks; remote, arid, romantic and totally off the beaten track savannah parks for excellent game viewing by car or boating on the Ruaha River in search of birds amongst the hippos and crocodiles that infest the river. Further west the Mahale Mountains and Ngombe Stream montane forests national parks sit on the edge of Lake Tanganyika, the world’s longest, second deepest and certainly one of the most beautiful lakes; it is so clear that one can see through her waters for meters and is the source of most of the cichlids (colorful fishes) found in many of the world’s aquariums. The parks are home to numerous species of mammals and primates including habituated Chimpanzees for tracking.

Welcome to SafariDMC’s Tanzania and experience incredible nature, wildlife, culture, adventure and leisure untold; there is so much to do you will only be spoilt for choice.

Zanzibar

Zanzibar is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean off the Tanzania coast comprising 2 major islands, Unguja (the one mostly referred to as Zanzibar) and Pemba, and about 50 other smaller islands. It is popular for her long white sandy beaches, over 25 fabulous beach fronts, great weather all year round and warm Indian Ocean waters creating a ‘heaven on earth’ for romance and relaxation; the perfect holiday get away for beach and ocean enthusiasts. It is also home to a wide array of international standard tourism facilities. Stone Town, the oldest city and now the ‘capital’ is a town of winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques and Arab-influenced houses most of them dating back to the 19th Century, when Zanzibar was occupied by the Omani Arabs. Then, it was an important trading center in the Indian Ocean. To date, Zanzibar remains an enigma in the Indian Ocean with its long history of slave trade, war and strife, spice and coconut plantations and a predominantly Islamic culture and religion; and life continues as it always has, still governed by the ocean and its winds, little, almost not at all changed over two centuries and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Popular activities in Zanzibar include walks on the beach, swimming in the ocean, milliard water-sports, excursions to some of the satellite islands like Prison Island, Bawe and Chapwani as well as sight-seeing tours in and around stone town including the Anglican Church (built in 1874 by Bishop Steer on the site of the old slave market, the underground chambers where slaves were kept before sale at the market), Dr. David Livingstone’s house where he planned his explorations, the Zanzibar museum, the Sultan’s Palace Museum, the Ithnasheri Dispensary, Jozani Forest (home to colobus monkeys), Nungwi (the busiest dhow building centre in Zanzibar where one can see traditional dhows being built), RasNungwi (un-spoilt beach popular for relaxation, waters sports and diving), Mangapwani (for relaxation and sea food barbeque) as well as Matemwe, PwaniMchangani, Kiwengwa, Uroa, Bwejuu and Jambiani beaches.

The Annual Wildebeest Migration

The annual wildebeest migration is a natural phenomenon where over two million wildebeest, two hundred thousand Zebra, thousands of eland and Thompson’s gazelle’s as well as opportunistic predators make a yearly sojourn from southern Serengeti in Tanzania to Maasai Mara in search of food. The trek begins when incredible herds of wildebeest gather in the southern Serengeti Ndutu area between December and March where there are nutritious and mineral rich grasses for their annual bathing ritual. Having exhausted the short grasses, they embark on a natural, instinct guided movement due northwest to reach western Serengeti/grumeti area in June then further north to enter Kenya’s Maasai Mara from mid-July where they stay until September. Depending on the rains and grasses the animals scatter and start their southerly return journey any time from mid-September to mid-October. They may be seen in the Serengeti’s Mara and Seronera area between October and November before congregating again in the southern Serengeti Ndutu area from December to March for a repeat performance. NB: it is not a strictly predictable path and minor or substantial variations may be experienced every year but not the drama; their most incredible moments remain the Mara river crossings where columns upon columns scamper into the river to satisfy this genetically controlled hibernation. Massive Nile crocodiles lie in their wait craving a feast felling many a victim, and others drown. It is a magical time to be there, one of the most amazing wildlife spectacles on earth and considered the 8th wonder of the natural world.

Mount Kilimanjaro

The 5.895m snow capped Mt. Kilimanjaro is the undisputed roof top of Africa! Situated in northern Tanzania near the border with Kenya, it is the country's and Africa's tallest mountain, and the world's second tallest free standing mountain. It is also one of the easiest major mountains to summit, with a 65% success rate, owing to her rather even gradient all the way to the top. With several different access routes to Uhuru, her highest peak, namely Machame, Lemosho, Shira, Marangu, Rongai and Umbwe, her summit can often be reached via a six to nine days hike depending on one's physical fitness and the time of year/climate. Our standard recommendation is seven or eight days with options for a regular package joining a set departure group or a luxury-class private climb with own porters, guides and extra enhancements. Each option however includes the standard necessary climbing equipment and safety gear. A climb on Mt. Kilimanjaro can be included as a stand alone experience or in conjunction with your wildlife safari to Tanzania or other East Africa destination. Summiting and standing atop Africa's tallest mountain is an exhilarating and unforgettable once in a life time experience.

Chimpanzee Tracking In Gombe Stream

Chimpanzee are one of the world’s four Great Apes group and considered man's socially and genetically closest ape relatives. Chimpanzee Tracking is a unique and one of the most exciting ‘primate experiences you will ever do. The excursion begins at the Park Offices where you meet your specialist Ranger/Guide for a briefing on the chimps as well as the tracking do’s and don’ts. Afterwards you proceed to the trailhead and hike until you find the chimps (usually last from 45min to 1hr/30mins, but could be longer or shorter) during which the guide tells you really lots of interesting things about the forest and the chimpanzees as well as other inhabitants of the forest; it is always very interesting. Your first notification that you are coming close to the chimps is normally their loud, and sometimes a little intimidating, howling and screeching. Chimps are said to communicate in over 65 different sounds each of which tells them something different.

Upon sighting the Chimpanzees, you will stay with them for the allowed one hour as they go about their daily life. Chimp families are normally big and individuals act relatively independently. Trackers often have the opportunity to see the animals in many different settings; either up in trees at different levels, or climbing up and down, on the ground (grooming or resting), when feeding, mating, raising their young, howling, screeching, moving in or leaving group and so on; there is so much action in front, besides, behind, up above and down below it’s hard to keep up.

But the hour is always over too soon and you trek back to base and return to lodge for shower and lunch.

Balance of the afternoon spent at leisure or enjoying the optional activities on Lake Tanganyika, the world’s second deepest and one of the most beautiful lakes on earth, offered at extra charge.
