TANZANIA

The Destination

Tanzania is often described as the crown jewel of African hunting safaris. It remains one of the last true wilderness frontiers, offering hunters vast concessions, minimal development, and an unrivaled diversity of species. From the endless plains of the Serengeti to the great Rufiji and Selous ecosystems, Tanzania embodies the romance and challenge of a traditional East African safari.

​

The Terrain

The landscapes of Tanzania are as diverse as its wildlife, creating a wide range of hunting environments:

• The Selous: Africa’s largest protected hunting area. Dense miombo woodland, riverine valleys, and open plains.

• Mara Serengeti: Acacia and commiphora woodland, dry plains and rocky outcrops and permanent springs.

• Masailand: Rolling savannahs, volcanic highlands, arid woodland and acacia-dotted plains.

• Ruaha Valley: Rocky escarpments, red earth, baobab forests and grasslands.

• Kilombero Valley: Extensive floodplains bordering the Mnyera and Ruhudji Rivers.

This variety ensures each safari offers a different experience.
