What's this trip about?

    Expect In Africa Safari offer an opportunity for those solo-travelers who really want to go safari alone, destinations like North Tanzania & Zanzibar and the other Indian Ocean islands are an attractive proposition. For those with time on their hands and wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the country as well as give back, volunteering with a local Tanzanian non-profit to contribute to their community development or conservation work can give a real sense of purpose and a feeling of satisfaction to your solo travel adventures. You are far more likely to get a solo travel deal in Green Season when both rates and demand are lower than peak season. Green Season has plenty of advantages, not least of which are more options for single travellers. Lodges and camps that waive single-supplement charges will often only do so on one room. The earlier you begin planning, the better your chances of securing that room for yourself.

Tanzania has seven official World Heritage Sites and Expect In Africa Safari will take you there on Teeming with diverse wildlife and a spectacular sight. Serengeti is the breathtaking outback venue of the annual migration of millions of wildebeest combined with an evolutionary trip to Olduvai Gorge, Laetoli and the Kondoa Rock Art Cave Sites takes you back to your human origins. Unspoiled remote wildernesses, home to thousands of elephants and bovines, and packs of rare African wild dogs and other diverse predators. Lake Tanganyika is among the most beautiful lakes in the world. Lake Manyara was a personal favorite of Ernest Hemingway. Climb the Kilimanjaro on an uphill strenuous stroll, the highest mountain in Africa, shining in the morning sun above a pedestal of cloud. Trek past its glaciers to the highest peak, or peer into the magma pits of the Mountain of God – Ol Doinyo Lengai by Lake Natron. Silver beaches and limpid seas set off the wonderful Swahili architecture of Stone Town in Zanzibar, important as a significant trading port, a heady blend of cultures and focus of the abolition of slavery. Combine Zanzibar with a history trip to Bagamoyo or even Kilwa to see the ruins of Kisiwani and Songo Mnara. Thereafter, head off to the private island of Fanjove or Lazy Lagoon for an unadulterated beach escape. Find all the fascination of African travel in the inimitable richness of Tanzania.

An authentic and discerning tour of Tanzania with Expect In Africa Safari, providing outstanding examples of sustainable tourism in a country with unbeatable natural resources.
