Finding The Best Tanzania Safari Packages

By Stacey Burt


If you are thinking of waking up to the call of stirring birds in the Ngorongoro crater, or perhaps the first rays of the sun clearing Mount Kilimanjaro, then visiting Tanzania should be in your mind. There are timeless sights and sounds in the Serengeti, Manyara and Arusha parks, signaling the start of a new thrilling day. Tanzania offers a vast range of attractions enhanced with the fascinating culture of its lovely people. To achieve the most of your trip, it is important that you find the best Tanzania safari packages.

Finding a tour operator should not be challenging, especially since almost all of them have websites used to market their services. However, the choice of a tour company should be informed by the specific circuit you want to do. For example, if you are thinking of visiting the Serengeti and Kilimanjaro alone, then a tour operator who has experience in the northern circuit will be the best choice.

There are many tour companies around, each trying to get a slice of the tourism cake. The success of your visit will definitely depend on how the company you choose plans your itinerary and handles you. It then goes without saying that you should make the right choice of a tour operator. One of the best practices is asking for referrals from friends who have visited and had a wonderful experience.

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.
