What to do in Tanzania? 10 activity ideas

Tanzania is certainly not short of dreamlike accommodation, with some of the best being found in the heart of the national parks allowing you to enjoy an authentic stay in the wilderness. There are also mobile camps that move according to the movements of the Great Migration; these are located in the Serengeti National Park, in the north of the country. From here you can watch herds of elephants and even hear the distance roar of lions from your tent or room!

A horseback safari is an unusual way to travel across the plains. On a horseback safari you will be immersed in the heart of nature and have time to observe the fauna and flora around you. This type of safari is mainly available in the north of the country: at Mount Meru, Arusha National Park or in the Maasai lands.

Imagine yourself floating through the skies aboard a hot air balloon, the gentle winds taking your higher against a spectacular sunrise backdrop. You drift above the Serengeti Park plains admiring the beauty of the landscapes and observing the wildlife from the air. After an hour-long flight, you land in the heart of the bush where a champagne breakfast is served.
Hot-air balloon rides are also available in the Ruaha National Park (in southern Tanzania).

The Serengeti Great Migration is a unique phenomenon and one of the most fascinating animal shows on earth. Every year, between November and June, millions of wildebeest, zebra, antelope and various predators cross the plains of the Serengeti Park, in Tanzania, in search of fresh green pastures in Kenya. You can watch this show aboard your vehicle and also spend the night in mobile camps that move according to the movements of the great migration.

The word "safari" is a Swahili word meaning "trip". Taking a safari is more than just an activity, it's a unique guided encounter allowing you to discover the country and wildlife. Tanzania remains a destination par excellence for authentic safari trips to the four corners of the country. In Northern Tanzania, the region has a rich diversity of fauna: many large mammals populate the famous Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Manyara and Tarangire National Parks, including the famous "Big 5" (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant and buffalo).
Southern Tanzania is wilder and home to remarkable parks and wildlife reserves, where you can enjoy beautiful safaris aboard a vehicle and even on the water by boat excursions (on the Rufiji River in the south).
