Tailor-made Tanzania

Just south of the equator lies Tanzania, a safari destination without equal. It has world-class game reserves and offers some of the best game-viewing in Africa. There is more to Tanzania than just safari though... the snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro, the gigantic lakes - Victoria and Tanganyika - and, of course, a beautiful coastline. The offshore islands of Zanzibar, Mafia and Pemba offer a coastline studded with long white sandy beaches, stunning diving and mysterious ruins. Tanzania is a winning combination. You can fly straight from a safari camp in the morning and reach the shores of the Indian Ocean in time for an afternoon dip. A perfect destination for a romantic honeymoon, an adventure holiday just for one or, for the traditionalists, a fantastic safari and wildlife experience!

"I thought that I would contact you to briefly say what a wonderful holiday we had in the Selous and Ruaha in Tanzania. Everything went according to schedule - flights, transfers - and both camps were of an exceptional standard. Of course the wildlife experience was superb, we even saw wild dog in the Selous, which is only the second time in ten separate visits to Africa that we've come across them."
DL, September 2009

Fact!
Nutcracker Man Olduvai Gorge in the Serengeti is the site of some of the most important fossil finds of all time by Mary and Louis Leakey. Australopithecus (or 'Nutcracker Man') lived 1.75 million years ago. It is an archaeological treasure trove filled with fossils, settlement remains and stone artefacts - all evidence that this was once 'The Cradle of Mankind'.
