  • Hi Joe, I have attached the questionnaire form duly completed and confirm that your service was, as always excellent both before and during the trip. All arrangements were smooth and everything superbly organised. Thank you so much – that makes a very big difference to my holiday experience. It is wonderful to be able to sit back beforehand in the certain knowledge that all will be well and that I merely need to read my instructions, turn up and then enjoy my holiday without worry or hassle. My life is full of doing things for other people, so it is a totally welcome break to be confident that Safari Consultants team will sort out my holidays superbly. Well done and thank you all again. I shall hope to be in contact with you again before long about arranging another trip.

Wildlife regions and attractions in Tanzania

Generally, when planning a safari through Tanzania it is important to remember a couple of points relating to the ‘status’ of land protection. In Tanzania, ‘National Park’ status demands the highest protection to an area, and although there are odd instances where different rules may apply, in the main you will be restricted to on-road driving during the day. Walking will be limited and night drives will not be available. Game Reserves offer slightly less protection to the environment and, historically, were the areas in which hunting safaris took place. Today, some game reserves such as the Selous, have non-hunting designated areas where photographic safaris take place. Walking will be available and, in some instances, so too will night drives or river safaris. Conservation Areas offer the least protection and it is normal for there to be human settlement within the area, here the Conservation status is in place purely to restrict ‘mass development’.
