Get Up-Close to Tanzania's Wildlife

The Swahili word 'safari' literally means to travel, usually a great distance that includes some form of nightly rest spent on route. As for safari there're also four (4) categories:

• Walking Safari
• Equestrian Safari (Horse Safari)
• Cultural Safari
• Wedding Safari

Walking Safari

To walk through the African bush is to experience Africa close-up. Smells are suddenly subtle and veried and every sound has significance. Birds and butterflies are individuals, noticed and studied, not simply rushed past in the race for the bigger game. And when the larger animals appear, they are met at eye level, standing on the same earth. Safety is not an issue - armed, experienced guides and game rangers accompany all walks. Your camp is packed up and transported to the next location by different methods: pick-up trucks, porters or donkeys. The camping style tends to be light-weight and extremely mobile. You will walk for several days, travelling like nomads across the African bush often miles from any roads or tracks.

Equestrian Safari (Horse Safari)

Galloping alongside a herd of zebras and wildebeasts as they race across the open plains is lifelong dream for many riders the world over. Tanzania's horse safaris offer the chance to make the dream a reality with well-bred, well schooled mounts, professional equipment and the luxury of miles of countryside in which to ride. The wild animals are not afraid of horses in the same way that they're of cars or pedestrians, allowing you to get much closer than usual. You must be an accomplished rider if you wish to go on a horse safari as these expeditions will take you into the wilderness riding in the same terrain as the wild animals. You'll ride daily, your 'game drives' on horseback. The camp can be in situ for several days or can move daily by truck. The types of camps that accompany these safaris vary, from light-weight luxury to luxury.

Cultural Safari

A cultural safari consists of several days staying in local guest houses, eating local ethnic food and absorbing the culture of the people who have lived in the area for years. Each day is usually spent trekking and visiting farms, houses and local projects. All meals will be in small restaurants and your nights spend in clean but simple local guest houses.

Wedding Safari

Begin your day with a game drive or walking safari, arrive at the altar on horseback and get married with Mt Kilimanjaro in the background local Maasai as witnesses. The choices are endless. We're happy to work through the plentifu African red tape to ensure that you have an unforgettable wedding day - and legally binding marriage.
