subject: Tanzania Safaris - Specialist Itineraries [print this page] Tanzania safaris can be divided into the Northern and Southern Circuits. The Northern Circuit is more popular with tourists but the Southern Circuit provides a wonderful chance of adventure for those who want a greater taste of the vastness of nature.
In Tanzania, safaris are not limited to the big game reserves. In fact, there are so many types of specialist safari itineraries that you can choose from. Just to mention a few, you can select from motorbike safaris, wedding and honeymoon safaris, whale watching and balloon safari.
Motorbike safaris open up a whole lot of possible places that you can go, places which 4x4 trucks may not be able to access. The whole bike trip also spans across different terrains and motorbike enthusiasts will be able to experience gravel, dirt and sand. While being encompassed in the breathtaking scenery of nature's best, visitors are also very likely to cross the paths and come face to face with many animals living in the safari.
Visitors can experience whale watching at different times of the year. Those who visit during November to April will be able to witness the migration of whale sharks, or the humpback whales in July to September. At other times, visitors can catch glimpses of sperm whales or several species of dolphins who call the ocean their home.
Balloon safari is a very unique experience. It gives a different dimension to your visit as you look at nature and its occupants from a different angle - from above. A hot air balloon experience starts at dawn, where you will be able to see the sunrise and beautiful Tanzania skies breaking into a glorious day. From the skies, you have a panoramic view of the animals and their activities. If you prefer, you may also choose to take a Microlight flight which passes through the valley and lake. For a greater adrenalin rush, you could choose to take a short paragliding course, where world class instructors will ensure that you will be skilled enough to glide over the vast plains in no time.
Newlywed couples can choose to celebrate their matrimony in an unforgettable way. The safari itineraries are carefully planned to provide a romantic and memorable experience. Itineraries can include some off the beaten track and exclusive destinations where couples can enjoy the breathtaking scenery and enjoy some quiet time. Couples can even choose to have their weddings in the safari, on top of a waterfall for instance. The options are almost as far as their imaginations can stretch.
Other than visiting safaris on land, visitors might want to experience the rich marine life in the ocean. Avid divers and snorkelers can take a swim or dive to see the coral reefs at closer distance. The itineraries are suitable for beginners to diving or experienced divers.
Whether you are looking for an adventure, an educational tour, a romantic getaway or just a short escape from hectic urban life, Tanzania safaris have a whole lot to offer. Just decide on the type of experience you are looking for and you can look forward to having a wonderful time of your life.
