Ways to travel
Eight ways of travelling in Tanzania. If you know what you want to do but not where, start here.
Eight ways of travelling in Tanzania, each with its own page. If you know what you want to do but not where, this is the better place to start than the journey list.
These are editorial pages rather than products: what the experience actually is, who it suits, what a day looks like, and the practical and safety notes that the brochures leave out. Every one ends with the journeys that do it.
| Experience | What it is | Journeys |
|---|---|---|
| Wildlife safaris | The reason most people come, and the thing we are least willing to exaggerate about. | Horizon Fly-In Circuit, Horizon Express Run, Wild Southern Solitude, Grand Montero Expedition |
| Bush & beach | Safari first, coast second. | Sanctuary & Spice Escape, Coastal Solitude & Marine, Grand Montero Expedition |
| Mountain & trekking | We live under Kilimanjaro. | Kilimanjaro Barrier-Free, Mount Meru Adaptive Trek, Grand Montero Expedition |
| Culture & heritage | Two things that are usually sold badly: the slave-route history of the coast, and visits to communities who live differently from the visitor. | Heritage & Freedom Trail, Ethical Indigenous Encounter, Grand Montero Expedition |
| Gemstones | A single-source gemstone, a complicated industry, and a great deal of confident nonsense talked at tourists. | Tanzanite Vaults & Gems, Grand Montero Expedition |
| Private yacht charters | A concept page, deliberately. | Zanzibar & Dar Coastal Yacht, Coastal Solitude & Marine |
| Honeymoons | Private by default, unhurried on purpose, and nobody announcing it to the dining room unless you want them to. | Sanctuary & Spice Escape, Horizon Fly-In Circuit, Coastal Solitude & Marine, Grand Montero Expedition |
| Family safaris | Private family safaris with sensible pacing and a vehicle nobody else is in. | Built to order |

About half the people who write to us do not want any of the published journeys as written, which is the normal case rather than a problem.
