Tanzania Safari Activities

In African safaris, adventure extends beyond the usual local wildlife spotting, offering an array of exciting and unique activities.

Game Drives

Game drives are the core of any safari adventure. A game drive involves riding in a specialized safari vehicle within a national park to observe diverse wild animals and Africa’s majestic landscapes. With experienced guides at the helm, game drives provide insights into animal behaviors, natural habitats, and the intricate balance of the savannah ecosystem.

Walking safaris

Walking safari is allowed in selected areas of the national parks with minimal predator threats. In Tanzania, these safaris go with the accompaniment of armed rangers to ensure safety. Prime locations for such experiences include certain areas of Arusha, Tarangire, and Serengeti national parks.

Hot air balloon flights

Due to the ban on drone use in most African parks, the hot air balloon safari stands out as the premier choice for those seeking a bird’s eye view of the savannah. Luxury travel to Africa is almost synonymous with epic hot air balloon flights, but this option is more accessible than you might think. Offered in Tanzania’s Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks, these journeys are truly memorable.

Night Game Drive

Night drives

Night game drives, permitted in select areas such as Lake Manyara, open up a whole new world of the savannah, revealing its nocturnal life. On these drives, you’re likely to encounter elusive creatures like porcupines, aardvarks, genets, and civet cats, which are rarely seen during daylight. This experience offers a thrilling perspective on the savannah’s diverse ecosystem.

Private game reserves

Private game reserves offer an exclusive way to enjoy the savannah’s most scenic spots. A prime example is the Singita Grumeti Reserve, home to the Sasakwa Safari Lodge. Renowned for its high-end exclusivity, it’s a favored retreat among Hollywood celebrities and Fortune 500 executives. It provides a serene and opulent safari experience for anyone looking for luxury trips to Africa.

Common questions about African safari tours

What to Wear on an African Safari?

There are no strict dress codes for an African safari. Generally, we recommend wearing khaki or light-grey-colored shorts or pants, paired with a T-shirt or shirt. A fleece jacket is advisable for cooler evenings and mornings. Footwear should include closed shoes with sturdy soles for savannah adventures, and comfortable options for relaxing at the lodge. Additionally, remember to pack sunglasses and a hat for sun protection.

In terms of colors, it’s best to avoid white, which shows dust easily, blue, which attracts tsetse flies, and camouflage patterns, which in African countries are reserved for the military.
