Tanzania Safari & Beach Holidays

Tanzania is famous worldwide for its wildlife, and for good reason. But when you’re finished wildlife-spotting, you’ll be pleased to hear that there is so much more to Tanzania. This extraordinary country is also home to unspoiled stretches of white sand beaches, including the island paradise of Zanzibar. Combine the two in a ‘bush and beach’ adventure for the perfect Tanzania holiday. Begin in the Serengeti, where expert guides will know all the best places to spot the Big Five (lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalo) and lots more. Or if you’re truly wild at heart, go off the beaten track and head south to the lesser-known wilderness of Nyerere, or west to spot chimpanzees in Mahale Mountains National Park. Then it’s time to head to the coast. Tanzania’s beaches are what dreams are made of: picture superfine white sand, calm temperate seas and swaying palm trees, with the added bonus of fantastic snorkelling and diving. Let us plan your Tanzania safari and beach holiday for the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation.

"We had a wonderful time! Our guide was amazing - he really did make sure we had the best experience and animal sightings. The Tarangire Park was especially brilliant, but we loved them all as they were all so different. We all thoroughly enjoyed the night safari - we saw lots and it was a great experience. The accommodation was great and the welcome we had at each camp was fabulous. We have had a really wonderful holiday. Thank you so much for another great trip. "

"Excellent balancing of days spent on the right locations, matching our expectations in terms of quality and strategic location. Bakari the Concierge was very responsive and helped us organise a last minute day activity in Stone Town. Our safari driver/guides were simply outstanding and made a difference when spotting animals in the national parks. We loved our complimentary honeymoon dinner on the beach organised by you, thanks again!"

"We had the most amazing time in Tanzania, it really was so special, thank you so much for organising such an amazing trip. Jabali ridge was incredibly special. They went above and beyond to look after us and it definitely will remain one of my favourite places I’ve been. I really can’t say better things about the hotel and the staff. The chef was truly incredible and so considerate about all of our requests. Zanzibar was also beautiful, and the staff again were just impeccable. Hotel was stunning and it was all round an amazing week. Thank you so much for organising our sunset dhow, it was such a treat and was a highlight of the trip. Really appreciate all your help and thanks again for the best holiday. "

We’ve got experts on hand to customise your Tanzania safari and beach holiday. But just to give you an idea, here’s a few of the exciting activities they might include on your own personal itinerary:


Follow the wildebeest migration

Compared to lions, leopards and elephants, you might find the prospect of spotting wildebeest on your Tanzania safari and beach holiday relatively unexciting. Think again. The 'Great Migration' is one of the planet's most electrifying wildlife events. Each year, over a million wildebeest complete a staggering 1,250-mile circuit across Kenya and Tanzania in search of fresh grass. Just imagine the sound of 8,000 hooves stomping across the wilderness and you’ll begin to get an idea of why tourists flock from far and wide to watch this amazing spectacle.


See Africa’s highest mountain

There’s no view more iconic in Tanzania than that of Africa’s highest mountain: Kilimanjaro. Head to Kilimanjaro National Park to see this enormous peak in all its glory. If you’re feeling brave, plan your Tanzania safari and beach holiday around the multi-day hike to its summit. But be warned – Kilimanjaro is not for the faint hearted!


Go snorkelling or diving

Tanzania isn’t only famous for its wildlife on dry land. Home to beautiful coral reefs, a Tanzania safari and beach holiday is the perfect opportunity to check out life under the sea. Our expert guides and our friends at Original Diving can show you all the best spots for underwater exploring, and can organise scuba diving sessions for those keen to get below the water.
