As home base for Avid Quest Adventures, Tanzania holds a special place in our story — and it remains East Africa’s most complete safari destination.

Itinerary Highlights
  1. Follow the Great Migration Through the Serengeti: Track over a million wildebeest and zebra across Africa’s most iconic plains, from calving season in the south to river crossings in the north.
  2. Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater: Explore the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, home to one of Africa’s densest concentrations of wildlife, including black rhino.
  3. Walk the Beaches of Zanzibar:Extend your safari with turquoise waters, historic Stone Town, and spice plantation tours on this Indian Ocean island.
  4. Discover the Quiet Wilderness of Tarangire and Nyerere (Selous): Encounter massive elephant herds among ancient baobabs and take boat safaris along the Rufiji River, away from the crowds.
  5. Climb Mount Kilimanjaro: Summit Africa’s highest peak and the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, either before or after your safari.
 
Best Time to Visit
Tanzania can be visited year-round, but the long dry season from June to October offers the best game viewing as wildlife concentrates around water sources, and coincides with dramatic Serengeti river crossings from July to September. Calving season in the southern Serengeti runs from January to March, drawing large predator activity. The short rains in November and long rains from March to May bring lush scenery and fewer crowds, ideal for birdwatching and budget travel.
