Tanzania
Tanzania is a land of superlatives—Africa’s largest wildlife migration, its deepest lakes, tallest mountain, white sand beaches, and some of its wildest reserves. Follow nearly two million wildebeest across the Serengeti, descend into the wildlife-dense Ngorongoro Crater, or wander valleys where baobabs tower over elephant herds in Tarangire. In the south, Ruaha and Nyerere (Selous) stretch out in near solitude, offering the thrill of raw, little-visited wilderness. Beyond the savannah, the air turns spice-scented in Zanzibar’s Stone Town, or along the Swahili Coast’s white beaches. With Wild Sage, Tanzania isn’t just a safari—it’s a journey through epic landscapes, layered histories, and wild spaces alive in every sense.
Serengeti National Park
Synonymous with safari, the Serengeti National Park is a stage for one of nature’s greatest dramas: the annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra across endless plains. Beyond the migration, the Serengeti teems year-round with lions, cheetahs, elephants, and giraffes. Sunrise here brings golden light over acacia-dotted grasslands, while nights are alive with the sounds of the wild.
Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area
A natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact volcanic caldera on Earth and a sanctuary for astonishing wildlife density. Descend into the crater to find elephants, lions, flamingos on soda lakes, and rare black rhinos grazing the grasslands. The views from the rim are unforgettable — a vast, living amphitheatre of life below.
Mahale Mountains National Park
Remote and magical, Mahale Mountains National Park sits on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, the world’s longest freshwater lake. Accessible only by boat, it feels like another world — forested peaks rising straight from turquoise waters. Here, you can trek into the jungle to spend time with wild chimpanzees, some of the best-habituated in Africa. After the hike, swim or kayak in the clear lake, with sandy beaches at your doorstep and mountains as your backdrop. With only a handful of lodges, Mahale offers a rare combination of adventure, serenity, and exclusivity.
Tarangire National Park
Known for its towering baobab trees and large elephant herds, Tarangire National Park feels quieter than the Serengeti yet equally magical. The Tarangire River draws wildlife in abundance, from wildebeest and zebra to lions and leopards, while the park is also a haven for birdlife. It’s a place of space, stillness, and striking beauty.
Lake Manyara National Park
Framed by Rift Valley escarpments, Lake Manyara National Park is a small park bursting with diversity. Famed for its tree-climbing lions, it also hosts hippos, elephants, and vibrant flocks of flamingos. A canopy walkway offers a bird’s-eye view of the forest, while the lake itself mirrors pink skies and pinker birds.
Zanzibar & The Tanzanian Coast
Beyond the savannah lies Zanzibar, where white-sand beaches and turquoise waters invite you to slow down. Explore the spice-scented alleys of Stone Town, dive into coral reefs alive with marine life, or simply relax by the ocean. Along Tanzania’s coast and islands, history, culture, and natural beauty blend seamlessly.
Ruaha & Nyerere National Park
For those seeking the wild off the beaten path, southern Tanzania delivers. Ruaha National Park is vast and untamed, home to large lion prides, elephants, and wild dogs, with far fewer visitors than the northern circuit. Nearby, the Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) sprawls across rivers, wetlands, and miombo forests, offering boat safaris, walking adventures, and a sense of Africa at its most raw.
