Tanzania Overland Adventure travel - Whichway Overland Adventures

Set out and explore Tanzania on an overland adventure safari and experience a country diverse in landscapes, islands and wildlife. Home to Africa's highest mountains - Meru & Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as the impressive annual wildebeest migration, Tanzania is blessed with some of Africa's natural wonders.

From clouds of pink flamingos on one of the many great lakes to thousands of plains game dotting the Serengeti National Park grasslands, Tanzania is abundant in wildlife. Lion, cheetah, crocodile, elephant, wildebeest, monkey, wild dog, chimpanzee and more overflow in some of the world's largest game reserves.

Trek through the scenic Ngorongoro Crater, view beautiful Olduvai Gorge and reach the bustling Tanzanian coastline. A trip to Zanzibar and Pemba is non-negotiable when visiting Tanzania - scuba dive through colourful coral reefs, explore historic Stone Town and relax on endless white beaches. If you're looking for a unique African overland destination, then Tanzania is your ticket to adventure.

Health: Yellow fever, malaria, bilharzia, tsetse fly, cholera, hepatitis, meningitis, and typhoid. HIV/AIDS is a serious risk, though not as prevalent as in Uganda. Tampons are imported and available only in the bigger towns and cities. Locally made sanitary towels are generally plentiful. Check out the vaccination guide line.

Tanzanian Climate

The best Tanzanian season is in January and February, when the hot, dry weather at this time of year is generally considered to be the most pleasant. But to catch the Serengeti at its best you want to avoid the dry season when virtually all the animals go on holiday to Kenya. Be prepared if you plan to travel into the big wet, as many roads - particularly on the south coast - can become too squishy to drive on, this is where you will rely on the expert travel services of your Nomad/ Whichway overland adventure guide.

Tanzanian Travel Tips


Tanzanian and Kenya traditional foods are very similiar, Nyama choma (barbecued meat) has taken over in a big way.
Travel to the coast in Zanzibar and Pemba islands and enjoy a range of traditional Swahili dishes based on seafood.
The Tanzanian national brew is Safari Lager (a frequent downfall of many overland adventure travellers!) and the Tanzanian local liquor is a lethal white-rum-style concoction called konyagi.
