Hidden within Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area lies one of the most significant archaeological and paleontological sites in the world—Olduvai Gorge, also known as Oldupai Gorge. This iconic destination is often referred to as the “Cradle of Mankind,” a title earned for the incredible discoveries that have shaped our understanding of human evolution.

Visitors to the Olduvai Gorge Museum can explore an immersive journey into the prehistoric era. Here, you’ll witness fascinating fossils, stone tools, and other artifacts that date back millions of years, including remnants of some of the earliest hominids ever discovered. Guided by experts, you’ll learn how this ancient site provided critical insights into our ancestors’ way of life, their survival strategies, and their migration patterns.

But it’s not just about history—the gorge itself is a natural marvel, with striking landscapes of rugged cliffs and vast plains that evoke a sense of timelessness. While there, keep an eye out for diverse wildlife that inhabits the area, from zebras and gazelles to colorful birds.

Add Olduvai to Your Safari Adventure
Whether you’re on your way to the Ngorongoro Crater or exploring the Serengeti, Olduvai Gorge makes for a perfect add-on to your itinerary. This stop enriches your experience, offering not just wildlife encounters but a deeper connection to the story of humanity.

Embark on this journey through time with Tazama, and let us guide you through one of the most fascinating chapters of our shared history.

Game drives are exhilarating, but nothing brings you closer to nature than a walking safari.

Imagine stepping into the wild, feeling the crunch of grass beneath your feet, and the air alive with bird calls. Unlike a game drive, a walking safari lets you see, hear, and feel the bush in a way that’s incredibly personal. You’ll notice the small wonders — tracks, insects, and plants — that often go unseen. The ground tells stories, and you’re right there reading them.

This experience isn’t just about walking; it’s about reconnecting with nature. With every step, you’re immersed in the sights, sounds, and even the earthy scents of the wilderness.

Safety is our top priority. You’ll be guided by our expert-trained guides and armed rangers, ensuring the path ahead is safe. These safaris typically happen early in the morning, in carefully scouted open areas, when the bush is at its most alive and serene.

At Tazama, we offer this thrilling experience as part of your safari adventure. It’s your chance to be part of the wild, to slow down, and to feel the heartbeat of the African savanna.

Ready to trade wheels for footsteps? Let us take you on a walking safari you’ll never forget.

The black rhinoceros—one of Africa’s majestic Big Five—stands as a symbol of strength and resilience. With its powerful horn and solitary nature, this rare giant roams the grasslands, often silhouetted against the stunning African sunsets.

Did you know that black rhinos are critically endangered, with less than 6,000 left in the wild? Visiting Tanzania or Kenya offers a rare chance to witness these magnificent creatures up close, contributing to their conservation through responsible tourism.

Every safari brings you face-to-face with nature’s raw beauty, and moments like these remind us why protecting these incredible species is so vital. Come explore Africa with Tazama and create memories that matter!

The Masai Mara: A Destination Like No Other

If there’s one place that embodies the raw beauty and spirit of the African wild, it’s Kenya’s Masai Mara. Renowned for its sweeping golden savannahs, rich biodiversity, and authentic cultural experiences, the Mara isn’t just a safari destination—it’s a journey into the heart of Africa.

Why should you visit? Start with the Great Migration. Every year, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles thunder across the Mara plains, crossing crocodile-infested rivers in a dramatic survival spectacle. Witnessing this natural phenomenon is nothing short of life-changing. It’s not just a migration; it’s nature’s grand opera, full of suspense, beauty, and raw emotion.

But the Masai Mara offers so much more. It’s home to the Big Five—lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo—making every game drive an adventure. You’re not just a spectator; you’re part of a story where every moment could unveil something extraordinary, from a lioness teaching her cubs to hunt to a herd of elephants bathing at sunset.

And then there’s the cultural immersion. Meeting the Maasai people, with their rich traditions and vibrant culture, adds a depth to your journey that no wildlife encounter alone can offer. Their stories, songs, and dances connect you to the land in a way that’s both humbling and inspiring.

At Tazama, we carefully curate each safari to give you the perfect blend of adventure, luxury, and connection. Whether it’s staying in eco-friendly lodges, enjoying sundowners in the savannah, or relaxing under star-filled skies, every detail is designed to make your journey unforgettable.

So, why visit the Masai Mara? Because it’s not just a place—it’s an experience that will stay with you forever. Come see for yourself.

There’s something magical about the Serengeti during the Great Migration. The golden plains come alive as thousands of wildebeest and zebras move in unison, a breathtaking spectacle that feels like stepping into nature’s grandest masterpiece. The rumble of hooves, the sight of predators on the prowl—it’s raw, powerful, and unforgettable.

At Tazama, we don’t just take you there; we craft an experience where every moment leaves you in awe. The Serengeti isn’t just a destination—it’s a story you’ll carry forever.

Are you ready to live this adventure?

When you visit Tanzania for trekking, Kilimanjaro is often the first mountain that comes to mind. But just near Arusha lies a hidden gem: Mount Meru. Standing proudly at 4,565 meters (14,977 feet), Mount Meru is Tanzania’s second-highest peak and offers a unique and thrilling trekking experience, perfect for those looking to escape the crowds of Kilimanjaro.

This dormant stratovolcano sits within Arusha National Park, providing trekkers with an immersive journey through diverse landscapes—from lush rainforests rich with wildlife to high-altitude deserts and rocky volcanic slopes. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to spot giraffes, buffaloes, and even elephants as you ascend, a rare treat that few other mountain treks can offer. And with views stretching across the park and toward Kilimanjaro, the panoramas are truly awe-inspiring.

Mount Meru can be tackled in either a 3-day or 4-day trek. The 3-day route offers a more intense ascent, while the 4-day itinerary provides a slower pace, allowing for better acclimatization and more time to soak in the scenery. Both options lead trekkers through a challenging yet rewarding climb, including a night hike to reach the summit by dawn—an unforgettable experience as you watch the sun rise over the horizon.

Choosing to trek with Tazama gives you the guidance of experienced local guides who know the mountain inside out and can ensure a safe and memorable adventure. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or a first-time trekker, Mount Meru offers a blend of adventure and beauty that will make your Tanzanian journey complete.

Ready to take on the adventure? Trek with Tazama and explore Mount Meru’s wild beauty for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Why the big yawn?
Hippos open their mouths wide like this not because they’re tired, but as a display of dominance and strength. That massive gape, showing off their impressive teeth, is actually a territorial warning to other hippos (and anything else that might be watching). Despite their calm appearance lounging in the water, hippos are fiercely protective and among Africa’s most powerful animals. Spotting this display up close is a true safari thrill!

Imagine standing just a few feet away from a family of mountain gorillas, observing their gentle movements and catching a glimpse into their world.

Nestled deep in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, gorilla trekking is one of those rare experiences that changes you. Walking through the lush, misty forest and coming face-to-face with these incredible creatures is humbling, heart-racing, and awe-inspiring all at once.

Each trek is unique, and every sighting is unforgettable—from the playful antics of the young gorillas to the wise gaze of a silverback leader.

If you’re ready for a journey that brings you closer to nature, Tazama Africa is here to help you make it happen. We organize unforgettable trips across East Africa, bringing you moments that will stay with you forever.

Something you will experience when reaching Barafu Camp is the rush of excitement knowing you’re just hours from conquering Kilimanjaro’s summit. The altitude, the cold air, and the dramatic views make it feel like you’re on the edge of an epic adventure.

One of the most magical activities to experience when you visit the Serengeti is a balloon safari. You’ll have the chance to view the vast plains from a completely different perspective—floating high above the landscape as the sun rises. Imagine gently drifting through the air, with sweeping views of wildlife like giraffes, zebras, and elephants moving below you in their natural habitat.

The quiet serenity of being up in the sky, combined with the breathtaking beauty of the African savannah at dawn, makes it an experience unlike any other. As the morning light dances across the landscape, you’ll feel connected to nature in a way few other experiences can offer.

And after your peaceful journey through the skies, a special treat awaits—a champagne breakfast in the heart of the wilderness. It’s the perfect ending to a magical adventure that will leave you with memories for a lifetime.

Join us for this one-of-a-kind experience, and let Tazama Safaris make your Serengeti trip unforgettable.

When you’re late to the party, but there’s still some ribs left! 🦴😂

Hyenas get a bad rap for being the scavengers of the savannah, but did you know they’re also incredible hunters? These guys can chase down their own prey with unmatched endurance – and they clean up after others too! Nature’s original waste management crew keeping things tidy in the wild.

Look at this little lion cub, already so full of curiosity and wonder!
Did you know that lion cubs are born with spots, which help them blend into the grass and avoid predators? These spots slowly fade away as they grow, revealing their majestic golden coat.

Born into a family-centered pride, they spend their early months learning essential survival skills through play, practicing pouncing and stalking. Watching them is like seeing the future kings and queens of the savannah in action!

Karibu Tazama and witness these adorable moments up close. The beauty of the wild is calling!
