Reasons To
Visit Tanzania

  • Beaches

    It is extremely easy to add some beach relaxation in Zanzibar after a tiring safari on the mainland; the beaches are stunning and diving is excellent. You don't have to travel far either as the island is only a 30 minute flight from Dar Es Salaam. Tanzania is therefore the ideal location to combine a safari and beach break.

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    Tanzania has some of Africa's most famous and best national parks and reserves where you are guaranteed fantastic big cat sightings. The Serengeti, Selous and the Crater are just some of the best game viewing areas to visit.

  • Birds

    Tanzania has more than 1,000 species of birds and some spectacular places to view them. Lake Natron is also the only known breeding ground for East Africa's millions of lesser flamingos which cover the lake between August and October.

  • Chimpanzees

    The Mahale Mountains - towering almost 2km above the shore of Lake Tanganyika are home to some of the last remaining wild chimpanzees. There are currently around 900 which are habituated to humans, and tracking them is a magical experience.

  • Great Migration

    One of the highlights of the Serengeti National park is the great annual migration which passes through this amazing wilderness. Up to 1.8 million wildebeest and zebra have been counted doing their annual trip in search of the sweet grasses and the rains.

  • Local Culture

    Tanzania has an evocative mix of people and cultures with 120 ethnic groups making up the diverse population. The largest group are the Sukuma but perhaps the most memorable are the Maasai who you will often see in Northern Tanzania herding their cattle, goats and sheep.

Greystoke Camp

Mahale Mountains National Park

Greystoke Camp is situated on an idyllic white beach on the shores of Lake Tanganyika.

The six dhow-wood bandas have deep chairs, comfy beds, tin wash basins and buckets for washing the sand off your feet. Bathrooms are in the trees with hot showers on request, flush toilets, and basins with running water.

From dawn to dusk Greystoke Camp is enchanting: it's the sort of place where spectacular sunsets and shooting stars seem only natural, and it's easy to escape totally from the outside world.

Most days begin as trackers lead you into the forest in search of chimpanzees before descending to the camp again for a light lunch. In the afternoons you have the option of nature walks in the forest or lazing around and swimming from an ancient dhow.

Returning to camp, a deck next to the bar offers a perfect view of the sun setting over the distant Congo, and dinner is served under the towering thatch of the central hut. Afterwards a campfire in the sand is the perfect place to sit and count the stars.
