Finding The Best Tanzania Safari Packages

By Stacey Burt


Tanzania is home to many spectacular creations in East Africa. It is home to the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free standing mountain- Kilimanjaro. Another notable attraction is the Ngorongoro Conservation area, with the largest crater in the world with the largest amphitheater teeming with vast game. If you are thinking of visiting this beautiful country, it is important that you plan well. There are many Tanzania safari packages provided by tour companies. The one you choose should reflect your preferences and budget.

With a vast footprint, Tanzanian tourism attractions are divided into circuits. These are the western, southern and northern circuits, with the northern one being most popular. This can be attributed to the fact that it hosts the massive Mount Kilimanjaro national park, Mt. Meru, Arusha, Tarangire, lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro conservation area. This circuit is also at the heart of Maasai community, hence you are able to appreciate the lifestyle of this tribe.

Before sending in an email to enquire about a safari itinerary, it is important that you find out some information about what this country offers. Notable Tanzanian attractions are found in the Northern circuit. These are the Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Arusha and Tarangire National parks, Mount Kilimanjaro and the Ngorongoro conservation area. Ideally, most visitors choose going for mountain climbing or trekking first before embarking on their drive to these parks.

Tour packages are hugely defined by the preferences of a visitor and the budget. They are classified as luxury or classic, deluxe and budget. Luxury packages involves high end accommodation in top class hotels and lodges inside national parks and reserves. Flight charter safaris are a good example of luxury travels. Deluxe safaris are the most common ones, involving accommodation in excellent facilities and small sized groups while budget safaris may involve tented camps.

The northern circuit boasts the Serengeti which is the home of the famed wildebeest migration. Other spectaculars of these plains are the millions of zebras and arguably the largest concentration of African lions. Close to the Serengeti you will find baobab-dotted Tarangire national park which is characterized by tree climbing lions and thousands of elephants. The Ngorongoro conservation area provides close proximity to the ancient site, Olduvai Gorge.

Tour companies provide different packages aimed at meeting the tastes of their clientele. The basic description of these packagers are luxury, deluxe and budget safaris. Luxury safaris are for those who want to experience East African hospitality from high end hotels and lodges. Such a package may also include aircraft charters to airports and to tourism attractions. On the other hand, it is possible to find deals for backpackers, especially if you do not mind joining other groups on safari.

Consider comparing packages from a number of tour operators. Their websites are usually rich with information on what they offer so you can easily get an idea of what to expect. There are companies which are able to customize their packages such that to accommodate your preferences.

Tanzania is a beautiful country, with beautiful culture and a host of tourist attractions. To ensure you achieve your goals out of your visit, ensure you select the right tour company. Ask for recommendations from friends who have visited and had a wonderful experience.
