The Explorer's Safari

There is no greater wildlife experience in the world than in Tanzania, a nation that devotes 25% of its land to conservation and boasts the highest concentration of animals anywhere in the world!

On a typical safari in Tanzania you can expect to see the "Big 5" many times over. But our safaris are not just about ticking off a list of mammals and birds. On a Thomson Safari you will learn about the behavior of the wildlife you encounter. Our guides are not only superb at spotting the animals and birds, they are gifted naturalists with a wealth of information on everything from eating habits to migratory patterns.

Comfortable Weather

At 5,000 feet above sea level, northern Tanzania (where Thomson runs the majority of its safaris), has generally spring-like weather year round with low humidity.  Even in the warmest season, temperatures rarely go above the 80's, and the dry heat is comfortable.

Wildlife viewing is excellent all year long with the exception of the rainy season from April to mid-May when the animals disperse due to the ready availability of water. We don't offer safaris during this time except on a custom basis.

Diverse Tribal Cultures

With over 120 tribes, Tanzania is one of the most culturally diverse countries in all of Africa. From the tall graceful Maasai warriors, to the ancient ways of the Hadza bushmen, to the resourceful agricultural practices of the Wameru, visitors to Tanzania will be impressed by the fascinating array of tribal cultures.

While the main focus on a safari is usually the African wildlife, we think it is also important to introduce our guests to our Tanzanian friends. Our roots are in Tanzania. We have long-standing relationships with tribal elders in many villages throughout Tanzania. Our guides and employees have friends and family all over the country and anywhere you travel with Thomson Safaris you will receive a warm welcome from the local people. It is just one of the many benefits of traveling with a company so well established and respected in Tanzania.
