Adventures and Safaris in Tanzania

Tanzania – The Motherland of Legendary Landscapes

Tanzania is located in the heart of East Africa, and border to Kenya and Uganda’s verdant landscapes in the north and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean in the east. Dodoma is the official capital city, though Dar es Salaam is the largest to size and a vibrant hub of economic activity and urban culture. Tanzania hosts approximately 60 million people and over 120 ethnic groups with Swahili being its national language.

Tanzania is known for its breathtaking landscapes and iconic national parks, including the legendary Serengeti National Park and the ancient caldera of the Ngorongoro crater. This is also where you find the highest freestanding peek in the world, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the exotic “spice islands” of paradise-like Zanzibar.

Safaris in Tanzania

Safaris in Tanzania are truly legendary, offering close-up encounters with the famed Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) in the vast plains of the Serengeti National Park and the baobab-dotted Tarangire National Park. You’ll also witness the spectacle of the thousands of flamingos by Lake Manyara and the unique ecosystems of the biodiverse Ngorongoro Conversation Area.

In addition to the magnificent landscapes and wildlife, you have the opportunity of a lifetime to experience all this with a birds-eye view from a hot air balloon sweeping over the Serengeti or Tarangire, ending with a celebratory champagne bush-breakfast. This is a chance you simply don’t want to miss! Explore our selection of safaris in Tanzania and begin your adventure today!

 

Hiking in Tanzania

Mount Kilimanjaro, also known as “The Roof of Africa”, is the highest mountain on the continent and attracts climbers from all over the world every year. With several routes to the summit, we are ready to guide your journey, always prioritizing your safety and preferences.

Another popular hiking adventure is the neighboring Mount Meru, which offers less of a challenge but an equally memorable trek with just as unforgettable views and experiences.

Beach Adventures in Tanzania

Zanzibar is an island gem off Tanzania’s coast with iconic white beaches and crystal-clear water, offering historical architecture, spice farm visits and marine activities such as scuba diving and snorkeling.

This is a popular addition to a Mount Kilimanjaro-climb or a safari in any form, that allow you to complete an adventure of a lifetime with rich history, vibrant culture and encounters with dolphins and majestic whale sharks. Connect with us for a bespoke selection of activities on Zanzibar Island.

Kilimanjaro Top service. I picked this agency because they do smaller group, Max 4. I end up doing the tour by myself. Lucky me,i loved it ❤️. Gabriel from the beginning is been very responsive, he answered all my emails promptly. Everything was extremely smooth, the pick up at the airport to the Hotel, the briefing the day after before starting the hike. Dastan was my guide, i couldn't be luckier to have him for such a great hike.,he was very professional and strong leader, we made to the top one day earlier 🙏. The meal i had during the hike was delicious and cooked to perfection from Joseph, great chef. Hibra was the guy who to care of my everyday needs. What a team 👏. I can't recommend enough this guys for the experience of a life time. I will be back for sure and book other tours with them. Thanks again for the hard work you guys put into it to make my life ad experience much easier. Hakuna Matata

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with World Adventure Tours Before deciding to book my trip with World Adventure Tours, I read so many positive reviews, and that was one of the main reasons I chose them. And honestly, I don’t regret it for a second! From the very beginning, from the booking process, my travel advisor Gabriel was always there to answer all my questions. He was very quick to respond, clear, and extremely helpful. The organization and communication with him were perfect, even throughout my safari. During the safari, I also had an excellent guide, Simon, who truly made this experience unforgettable. He explained everything we needed to know about the animals and the ecosystem, was always attentive to our requests, and treated everyone in the group with kindness and warmth. Thanks to the whole team, I had an amazing experience in Tanzania that I will never forget. I would absolutely recommend World Adventure Tours and would not hesitate for a second to travel with them again!

Great safari, a few details weren’t advertised correctly Wir haben die „ Extended Big Five Safari in Tanzania – Waterfalls & Hot Springs, 9 Days“ mit World Adventure Tours gebucht und waren vor der Reise in Kontakt mit einem Büro in Kenia. Sally von dort hat alle Fragen schnell und hilfreich beantwortet. Vor Ort wurde unsere Reise aber vollständig von ZARA Tours durchgeführt… Die fünf Tage Safari mit Hamza von ZARA Tours waren super. Alles super organisiert und gute Hotels mit schönen Zimmern (Highview Hotel und Serengeti Safari Lodge). Im Anschluss hatten wir noch drei Tage im eher mittelmäßigen Springlands Hotel in Moshi, wovon aus die Wasserfall-Kaffee-Tour und die Hot Springs als unabhängige Tagesausflüge mit anderen Guides und Fahrern durchgeführt wurden. Leider waren ein paar Dinge anders als vorab von World Adventure Tours beschrieben: • Trinkwasser war nicht wie beschrieben während der ganzen Tour inkludiert, sondern nur im Safari-Auto. Auf den anschließenden Tagesausflügen und in den Hotels war Wasser mit teilweise bis zu $ 4/1,5 l sehr teuer. • Leider waren nicht alle Hotels standardmäßig mit Moskito-Netzen ausgestattet. Bei einem mussten wir in der ersten Nacht in eine deutlich schlechtere Zimmerkategorie wechseln, um ein Moskito-Netz über dem Bett zu haben. • Die Chemka Hot Springs sind mit 27-28 Grad nur lauwarm und vor allem wurde in der Beschreibung verschwiegen, dass dort Fische im Wasser sind, die an den Füßen der Badenden knabbern. Das fanden wir super unangenehm, daher hätten wir uns diesen Tag komplett sparen können.

Fantastic Company & Safari Guide My experience with World Adventure Tours from inquiring to completing the safari has been exceptional. Gabriel was my booking agent and was regularly in contact and offered support before and during the safari. Our Safari with our guide Simon was fantastic. He is extremely professional and makes guests feel comfortable and safe. He is a great communicator, explaining the plans for the day and regularly asking us what we want to see and do to incorporate into his schedule. Simon is extremely knowledgeable about the animals and Tanzania history and culture and was able to answer all questions and share so much with us. He was lots of fun and had jokes with us. I can also say he is a very safe driver. He is one of the best guides I have had in any of my safaris and I can’t praise him enough. I would definitely book another tour through World Adventure Tours and highly recommend them.

Trip of a Lifetime Booked a Kilimanjaro summit hike and 2 day safari through World Adventure Tours and they were excellent from start to finish. Communication was faultless throughout, dealing with any issues immediately (was supposed to fly out day air traffic control went down across UK and ended up flying out day after - all hotels changed immediately to update the trip). Airport transfer efficient. Our mountain guide Sylvester was professional and made sure we made it up the mountain safely and successfully. Assistant guide and porters also did an amazing job, making sure we were well fed and supported throughout. Without Sylvester amd his team we wpuld not have made it to the summit. Our end safari was also well organised, taking in Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park before being returned to the airport to fly home. Would highly recommend.

Excellent company! World Adventure Tours were an amazing company to deal with. The communication and information provided in the build up to the trip was excellent. They were very accommodating to all requests and changes to be made. I was particularly impressed with how responsive they were to queries with quick turn around times for information. We had issues with delays for ongoing flights and they were very receptive and helpful to sort out our problems where I suspect others wouldn't have been! The experience itself goes without saying, absolutely incredible and would highly recommend to anyone to not only book themselves a trip but through World Adventure Tours for a smooth and reassuring process.

Kilimandscharo gemeistert Wir sind mit unserem Guide Dastan die Lemosho-Route gelaufen und es war einfach fantastisch. Dastan ist wirklich ein sehr guter Guide und hat uns sicher auf und wieder runter vom Berg gebracht. Auch der Rest des Gesms hat sich um alle Bedürfnisse bestens gekümmert.
