The rich tapestry of Tanzania's past is woven from tales of the slave,
spice and ivory traders, who cut passages across the landscape from the
rainforests of the Congo, across Lake Victoria, to the island of Zanzibar
on the coast. Intrepid adventurers explored Tanganika for its treasures,
and it was central to the great colonial Scramble for Africa in the late
19th Century.
Due to its vast size and varied landscape, much of Tanzania's great game
fields still remain unfrequented. Undisturbed, you can stand knee deep
listening to the gentle hypnotic rhythm of the riverine swamp whilst in the
pursuit of Buffalo, and hear the raspy grunt of a leopard coming from up
the valley of a dense mountain forest. Tanzania is one of the last places
where the wildlife remains untouched and the environment is raw.
Renowned for its exceptional diversity of wildlife and classic overall
safari, you will get a feeling of what it was like to be one of the great
hunters and explorers of a bygone era. The hunting areas are characterised
by grassy wetlands, papyrus choked swamps, brachystegia woodland, mountain
forest and sweeping acacia dotted savannah. |
