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.

    Beaches

  • 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.

Swala Camp

Tarangire National Park

Swala Camp is set in the south western corner of Tarangire National Park in a grove of umbrella acacia trees overlooking a large waterhole.

Recently refurbished, the camp now consists of twelve spacious luxury tents, built on wooden platforms, all facing the waterhole which is a magnet for wildlife such as elephants in the dry season. You can happily while away an hour or two on your deck just watching the action unfold in front of you!

The tents are beautifully designed, with crisp linens, mosquito nets, and en suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water and flush toilets. There is a large lounge and dining area, and the swimming pool is a lovely place to cool off after a day out on safari in Tarangire.

Activities from Swala include game-drives and during school terms, visits to the local school which is supported by the camp.
