SPECIAL INTEREST SAFARIS in TANZANIA
A safari in Tanzania is not just about the
Big 5 and the northern circuit. There are many off the beaten track

the curious, the energetic and anyone wanting that little bit extra

CULTURAL EXPERIENCES
There are several very good and in
some cases award winning examples of how tourism can be of real
benefit to local communities in Tanzania, however unfortunately
there are also certain examples of how cultural tourism is sold
as a commercial product and communities as a whole do not benefit.
Please respect all local customs when visiting Tanzania.
