LODGE SAFARI
What better way to experience Africa in style? Most of the lodges in Tanzania’s safari Circuits are located in areas rich with wildlife and spectacular views.
Accommodation is provided in self-contained rooms and meals are of a high standard. There are three options of lodges on Safari Tours:
BOATING SAFARI
Boating Safaris offer unique opportunities to view wildlife from an unusual prospective. This thrilling adventure can be experienced on the majestic Rufiji river in the great Selous Game Reserve.
On its mighty waters of the main river, or on its quieter estuaries, one can see a huge assortment of colorful, endemic birds. In addition the habitat is home to Nile crocodiles that are renowned for their giant sizes.
Large family groups of hippos also remain year round in its waters. African buffalo, water buck and elephant frequent the banks offering wonderful opportunities of photographing wildlife from a completely different angle.
BIRD-WATCHING SAFARI
Ornithologists and other bird enthusiasts will love Tanzania.
More than a thousand different species of birds have been recorded here in addition to quite a few endemic ones.
Besides African species, Euro-Asian migrants can be observed in in Tanzania.
Birds are usually classified as land or water species, both of which are extensive and highly colorful, ranging from the dainty, long legged Africana Lilly Trotter to the colorful and daring flier, the magnificent Battler Eagle.
LUXURY SAFARI
These safaris are intended for people who want to experience the African bush, combined with exclusive luxury and services. Accommodation is in smaller but Exclusive Luxury Tented Camps and most of them accommodate up to 20 people only. They are situated in the wilderness with good wildlife-views and offer all the comfort and facilities expected of top-end lodges. Sleeping is provided in spacious, fully furnished canvas tents with en suite bathrooms.
Catering is usually all hours between sunrise till after dinner and some are all-inclusive.

GEOLOGICAL SAFARI
The amazing Great Rift Valley stretches across the country. Formed millions of years ago, it created many fascinating topographical features; including extinct and active volcanoes, craters and calderas, alkaline lakes and gorges. In the Northern Circuit, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is ‘a must’ for all geologists.
