Tanzania offers some of Africa's greatest wildlife experiences in one country: the Great Migration, the Big Five, huge elephant herds, spectacular landscapes and Mount Kilimanjaro. It also has Zanzibar's beaches and rich cultures. Well-connected parks make it easy to combine several highlights in a single, unforgettable trip.

Most Discover Africa safaris follow Tanzania's northern circuit: Tarangire for elephants and baobabs, Lake Manyara for forests and birdlife, Ngorongoro Crater for the Big Five and the Serengeti for big cats and the migration. Longer trips add Ndutu, Lake Eyasi, southern parks such as Ruaha, or Zanzibar.

June to October is the best time for wildlife viewing, with dry weather and Great Migration river crossings in the northern Serengeti. January to March is ideal for calving season in Ndutu. November and December bring green landscapes and fewer vehicles, while the long rains usually fall in April and May.

You can stay in comfortable mid-range lodges, classic tented camps or luxury lodges with pools and fine dining. In the Serengeti, seasonal camps move closer to the migration herds. We choose each property for its location, service and value, matching your style and budget.

Most Discover Africa safaris last 4 to 10 days. Four or five days covers Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, while seven to ten days adds Lake Manyara, Ndutu, cultural visits and a relaxed pace. Add Zanzibar or Kilimanjaro for a longer East Africa holiday.

You can see the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino, plus cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas and hundreds of bird species. Ngorongoro Crater is excellent for black rhino, while the Serengeti is famous for big cats and the Great Migration.

Yes. Photographic safaris use a private vehicle with a pop-up roof so you can wait patiently for the best light and action. Guided bush walks with an armed ranger are available in some parks and conservation areas, offering a closer look at tracks, plants and smaller wildlife.

Yes. Private safaris are ideal for families because you control the pace, game drive length and meal times. We choose family-friendly lodges, plan shorter travel days and include activities children enjoy. Some camps have age limits, so we match each property to your family.

A Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris safari typically includes a private 4x4 vehicle with pop-up roof, a professional English-speaking guide, park fees, accommodation, most meals, drinking water and airport transfers. International flights, visas, tips and optional activities are usually excluded. Every quote lists all inclusions clearly.

The cost depends on trip length, season, lodge level, internal flights and group size. Luxury camps and peak dry season months cost more, while mid-range lodges and green season travel offer better value. Park fees are set by the authorities and change, so we provide a clear, detailed quote.

Pack neutral-colored, lightweight clothing, a warm layer for early mornings and the crater rim, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars and a camera. Soft-sided bags are best for light aircraft. We send a detailed packing list after you book.

Check your passport validity and visa requirements, and speak with your doctor or a travel clinic about vaccinations and malaria prevention. Take comprehensive travel insurance. Game drives start early, roads can be bumpy, and tipping guides and staff is customary. Always follow your guide's safety advice.
