"Tanzania is a true bucket-list destination. Here you can witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti, climb Mount Kilimanjaro, swim with whale sharks in Zanzibar, and visit Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa"

Travel Director

Discover the secrets of the Serengeti's complex eco-system

The Serengeti is the largest national park in Tanzania, home to an incredibly ancient and complex ecosystem. It’s one of the best places in Africa for wildlife viewing, and your Tanzania guide will help you to spot all of Africa’s Big Five, over 500 bird species, and the Great Migration, the world’s largest overland migration.
Descend hundreds of metres to the floor of Ngorongoro Crater

Exploring the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most remarkable things to do in Tanzania. It’s the world’s largest unbroken caldera, formed around two to three million years ago, and is a thriving environment for wildlife like elephants and lions, and the Maasai people who have lived here for hundreds of years.
Spot tree-climbing lions at Lake Manyara National Park

When you embark on a Tanzania safari with Trafalgar, we’ll show you the all the iconic animals, plus the rarer species like the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara. They’re one of only two documented populations of tree-climbing lions on earth, and we’ll take you on a game drive to spot these elusive creatures lounging in the treetops.
Pass battalions of baobab trees at Tarangire National Park

We’ll take you to the ancient lands of Tarangire National Park, where centuries-old baobabs trees are strewn across the plains. This remote park is also a superb destination for wildlife viewing, and we’ll venture on a game drive to spot massive herds of elephants, and migrating wildebeest and zebra.
Visit Tanzania's largest coffee plantations in Arusha

Arusha is the gateway to Tanzania’s safaris and mountains, while their fragrant coffee plantations are one of the top Tanzania attractions. We’ll take you for lunch at a restaurant within one of the country’s largest coffee plantations, where you’ll view the lush landscapes, smell the rich aromas and taste the local brews.

National Museum of Tanzania

Discover Tanzania’s history at the National Museum of Tanzania, with exhibitions ranging from the Zanzibar slave trade to the British and German colonial periods. Among the treasures, you’ll find the bones of Paranthropus boisei and one of the original cars of King George V of England.
Sultan's Palace, Zanzibar

The Sultan’s Palace is one of the most famous buildings in Zanzibar, and was the home of Sultan Seyyid Said from 1828 until 1896. Although it was largely destroyed by the British, it was rebuilt by the Tanzanian Republic, and today you can wander the opulent halls and discover how royalty lived.
Arusha Declaration Museum

The Arusha Declaration Museum is an excellent photographic museum and one of the top places to visit in Arusha. The museum tells the story of life in Tanzania under socialism, and was named after the declaration that introduced the ‘Ujamaa’ or the African Socialism policy to Tanzania.
