Tanzania - Home of Mount Kilimanjaro

Witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti, summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, relaxing on Zanzibar’s soft-sand beaches… On a tailor-made holiday to Tanzania with Premier Africa Tours, you will see the highlights — and much more — and even better – your way.

Watch herds of wildebeest frantically cross the Mara River, dodging the snapping jaws of crocodiles. Listening to bird calls on walking safaris through remote areas of the Serengeti. Track the Big Five on game drives in the Ngorongoro Crater. 

Conquer the climb to Mount Kilimanjaro’s summit, or search of the elusive Big Five in the Nyerere National Park. We’ll use our first-hand expert knowledge to shape your trip around your travel style, interests, and budget. We can also combine your Tanzania tour with some time to relax on the sandy beaches of Zanzibar.

The best time to visit Tanzania depends on what wildlife you would like to spot. The country’s seasons and wildlife numbers are dictated by the rains, so you’ll have a slightly different experience depending on when you choose to visit.

Tanzania’s attraction is the Great Migration, which occurs year-round across the Serengeti. Many people flock here between July and September for a chance to witness huge herds of wildebeest and zebra crossing the Mara River — panic ensues as they try to avoid the jaws of crocodiles and other predators waiting to pounce.

Tanzania’s ‘green season’, between November and March, is much quieter. While there is a chance of rain showers, it’s a fantastic time for birdwatching as migratory species arrive in their thousands.

You will also see Great Migration herds with their newly born calves.

Heavy rains between April and May can disrupt game viewing.
