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.

Sasakwa Hill Lodge

Serengeti National Park

It is safe to say that Sasakwa is one of the most luxurious properties in East Africa.

Built high on a hill the lodge offers stunning views across the Serengeti plains where game viewing, particularly at the time of the great migration, should be superb.

The lodge includes a few air-conditioned guest cottages all complete with antique furniture, crystal vases of roses and classic artwork giving it a real 1920's feel. This theme is continued throughout the lodge with beautiful dining and drawing rooms, a vintage wine cellar, a tennis court, archery pavilion, croquet lawn and even an equestrian centre to house the polo ponies and thoroughbreds.

Activities from the lodge include game drives, bush walks, horse riding safaris and mountain biking among others so plenty to keep you entertained.

Sasakwa is an ideal location for those who would like to experience safari in a wonderfully colonial elegance and style.
