Vehicles used are generally open roof 4WD Toyota Land Cruiser or Land Rovers, as they are most suitable to the terrain. For larger groups we use 4WD buses as it is more convenient for clients to be all together in one vehicle only, and it is also more economic and better for the environment. Drivers have been trained in customer relations, tourism-related topics, environmental issues and vehicle maintenance. They are very familiar with the routes we take.

In Kiswahili, “safari” means “journey”—and Tanzania offers one of the most unforgettable wildlife journeys on Earth.

Home to over 25% protected land, Tanzania leads Africa in conservation. From the Great Migration in the Serengeti, to the massive elephant herds in Tarangire and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, the wildlife here roams freely as it has for millennia.

You’ll see:

• Vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo

• Predators like lions, cheetahs, and leopards

• Rare species like black rhino and wild dogs

• Over 1,000 bird species

Tanzania is also home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites like:

• Serengeti & Kilimanjaro National Parks

• Ngorongoro Conservation Area

• Selous Game Reserve (larger than Denmark!)

• The coastal ruins of Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara

No wonder 90% of African wildlife documentaries are filmed right here!

Anytime is a great time! Wildlife is abundant year-round, but here’s a quick seasonal breakdown:

• June to October (Dry Season): Best for wildlife viewing. Animals gather around water, and the Great Migration moves north. Clear skies and cooler temperatures.

• November to March (Short Rains & Calving Season): Scenic and less crowded. December to March is ideal for seeing baby animals and predators in action in the Southern Serengeti.

• April to May (Long Rains): Rainy but lush. Great for birding and photography. Fewer tourists and lower rates—perfect for adventurous travelers!

At Kinyemi Services Tours, we design each safari to match the best seasonal game viewing. Let us know your travel dates, and we’ll customize accordingly.

You simply can’t beat northern Tanzania for wildlife concentrations. Most people have heard of the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater and the wide array of wildlife dwelling on the crater floor. Most have heard of the vast Serengeti savanna, which hosts the annual migration of wildebeest and the predators that follow in its wake. This is only the beginning of the natural phenomena awaiting your discovery on a safari to Tanzania. Our Guests consistently tell us the wildlife they experienced far surpassed their most optimistic expectations.

Tanzania is home to over 35 species of large four-legged mammals and has over 1000 species of birds.Tanzania offers some of the richest wildlife encounters on Earth. Expect to see:

• Big Five: Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Buffalo

• Plains game: Wildebeest, Zebra, Gazelle, Impala, Hartebeest

• Predators: Hyenas, Cheetahs, and occasionally African Wild Dogs

• Others: Giraffes, Hippos, Baboons, Monkeys, Mongooses

You may even spot rare species like the black rhino, lesser kudu, or oryx in places like Ngorongoro and Ruaha.

The Great Migration is one of nature’s most spectacular events.
Each year, over one million wildebeest, along with zebras and gazelles, migrate across the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing and water. Their journey is dictated by the rains:

• December – May: Calving season in southern Serengeti

• June – July: Herds head north, approaching the Mara River

• August – October: Crossing into Kenya’s Masai Mara

• November: Return to Tanzania as the short rains begin

Even when the herds move north, the Serengeti is never empty—resident wildlife remains in abundance.

The vast majority of Tanzanians still live a lifestyle very close to their traditional lifestyles. Most people are subsistence farmers. The Masai people, favored by photographers for their strikingly colorful décor, live a pastoral existence following their herds of cattle to better grazing areas, still adhering to the traditions and ceremonies of their ancestors. Their villages are located throughout northern Tanzania. Other small tribes of hunter-gatherers, living according to their ancient customs and traditions can also be found in this area.
