Tanzania










Tanzania
A tapestry of endless herds, cratered worlds, and spice islands.
Tanzania is a land where nature takes center stage and the extraordinary unfolds daily. From the golden plains of the Serengeti to the elephant-rich swamps of Tarangire, this is where the Great Migration thunders and ancient landscapes stir the soul. Follow the rhythm of the wild on a game drive in Ngorongoro Crater, trek through the volcanic foothills of Kilimanjaro, or escape to the spice-laden breeze of Zanzibar’s coast. Whether you’re chasing iconic wildlife, climbing Africa’s highest peak, or simply watching the sun melt into the Indian Ocean, Tanzania delivers moments of true wonder – curated with care, and grounded in the wild.

Where to go
Places that tell a deeper story.
For those who dare to explore.
Ker & Downey® Africa reveals the heart of each country through its most iconic and undiscovered places. From legendary landmarks to hidden gems, each journey connects you to the landscapes, cultures, and stories that shape a nation.
Nyerere National Park (Selous)
Nyerere National Park, formerly Selous, is one of Africa’s largest protected areas. Cruise its rivers, walk through untouched bush, and enjoy a wilder, more fluid safari experience in a landscape defined by water and freedom.
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is the stage for one of nature’s greatest spectacles – the Great Wildebeest Migration. Explore endless plains alive with predators and plains game, then retreat to luxurious tented camps where the wild soundtrack never fades.
Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is a natural amphitheatre of staggering beauty and biodiversity. Descend into this ancient caldera for an unforgettable day of Big Five viewing, surrounded by highland forests and crater walls lost in clouds.
Tarangire National Park
Famous for its ancient baobabs and large elephant herds, Tarangire pulses with seasonal drama. Discover a quieter corner of Tanzania, where wildlife congregates along the river and birds fill the skies with color and sound.
Lake Manyara
A jewel at the base of the Great Rift escarpment, Lake Manyara is compact but bursting with life. Think flamingos, tree-climbing lions, and vibrant forests — perfect for a scenic and wildlife-rich start to your journey.
Zanzibar Archipelago
Zanzibar is a dreamy contrast to mainland safaris. Discover spice-scented markets in Stone Town, snorkel turquoise reefs, or unwind on quiet beaches where dhows drift by and time slows to a gentle rhythm.
Mount Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak and a bucket-list climb for the bold. Whether summiting its ice-capped peak or simply admiring it from the surrounding plains, this majestic mountain commands awe from every angle.
Ruaha National Park
Remote and rugged, Ruaha is Tanzania’s best-kept secret. With few visitors and prolific predator sightings, it’s ideal for seasoned safari-goers seeking solitude, authentic guiding, and a landscape that shifts from baobab forest to rocky escarpment.
Nyerere National Park (Selous)
Nyerere National Park, formerly Selous, is one of Africa’s largest protected areas. Cruise its rivers, walk through untouched bush, and enjoy a wilder, more fluid safari experience in a landscape defined by water and freedom.
Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti is the stage for one of nature’s greatest spectacles – the Great Wildebeest Migration. Explore endless plains alive with predators and plains game, then retreat to luxurious tented camps where the wild soundtrack never fades.
