African safari best travel destinations include World heritage sites, mountains, eco-tourism hotspots, and national parks. 
Tanzania travel as a unique wildlife safari destination in Africa

Tanzania is one of the unique destinations on the African continent that has yet to be discovered by many. It is a land of many wonders having an unparalleled diversity of fauna and flora. Tanzania is a Home to 8 World Heritage Sites, Man, and Biosphere Reserves e.t.c. All these are tourist attractions that inspire people to travel from their countries and continents for the sake to admire these wonders. Wildlife safari parks are among the natural wonders to visit, you can book a Tanzania safari to visit some of the  World Heritage sites, such as Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. 

To maintain the beauty, and ensure tourist visitors enjoy these wonders then Tour Operators should practice Responsible Travel. Responsible travel is also referred to as EcoTourism. Ecotourism is a: "Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people."

Kilimanjaro Tanzanite Safaris DMC is a Licensed Tour Company in Arusha Tanzania. This DMC is an Active member of Ecotourism Organisations like the International Ecotourism Society (TIES), Tanzania Wildlife Conservation Society, and International Ecotourism Club.
We follow Eco-tourism guidelines hence as our daily activities we focus on local cultures, wilderness adventures, nature safaris, Kilimanjaro climbing, walking safaris, bird watching, mountain climbing, contributing fund for nature and environmental conservation. Furthermore, in certain cases, we use Horseback raiding for wildlife viewing tours instead of Vehicles game drives. We use locally raised tour guides, well trained and these guides can deliver wildlife nature safaris, wild animals and environment knowledge to tourist visitors.

One of the Great features of Ecotourism in East Africa is the Mountains. Mountains hosts wild animals, birds, trees, water bodies, and what have you. Activities are like climbing, nature trekking, walking safaris, bird watching, wildlife viewing. One of the Mountains with all those benefits is Mount Kilimanjaro. Here are the Kilimanjaro trails which can show you the beauty of Mount Kilimanjaro, and have the ecotourism reality. Choose among these Kilimanjaro expeditions, and explore the great mountain nature's beauty. 



KILIMANJARO is the highest mountain in Africa 5895m/19340ft and the tallest freestanding mountain known to man. It is a mountain where you can hike for more than 90 kilometers, gain 4 000 meters in altitude, traverse rain forest, moorland, alpine desert, snowfields, and ice cliffs, all virtually on the equator! A truly unforgettable and fascinating adventure.
Is it a metaphor for the compelling beauty of East Africa? Kilimanjaro is one of the highest walkable summits on the planet, a beacon for visitors from around the world.
Kilimanjaro Routes are the trails that lead you to the Kilimanjaro Summit. Kilimanjaro trails vary in duration of climbing to the summit, such as Machame route mostly needs  6 days, Marangu can be climbed 5 and 6 days, Londorossi/Lemosho 7 or 8 days, Umbwe in 6 days, Londorossi/Western Breach 8-10 days, Rongai 6 days, And 8 days Shira Exclusive fantastic route-through Shira Plateau from Londorossi gate is the most fascinating and scenic route up Kilimanjaro. Here is the guideline to compare Kilimanjaro routes, and choose



Kilimanjaro trekking success can be influenced by Altitude sickness, so you should include acclimatization day as part of the trekking duration. Acclimatization will enable your body to become used to Kilimanjaro weather. Mount Kilimanjaro Climbing now nowadays is influenced by Global warming. Global warming is causing snow to be diminishing.
If you have not planned To Visit Tanzania and climb Mount Kilimanjaro, plan it now! You need to witness the Climatic change and its effects. Don’t wait to be told or just read as History from Books. Today the main African Tribe to inhabit the Kilimanjaro foothill region is the Wachagga People. Most importantly they form the largest tribal group involved in the Operation of Kilimanjaro climbs.


Without the Climb, Mt. Kilimanjaro with a safari in itself is a complete trip to book. It is not necessary to be a climber to enjoy a visit to the stunning Mount Kilimanjaro region. Indeed visitors can ascend 12000 feet to the Shira Plateau of West Kilimanjaro by Four –Wheel drive vehicle.
Day and night game drives are taken in open Land cruisers that allow for a full view in every direction. Lake Jipe lies on the same road. Sixteen kilometers long by five Kilometers wide, it is slightly saline and significantly large than Chala. On the Tanzania-Kenya border, It is rarely visited so exudes an atmosphere of tranquillity and Seclusion.
Points of interest.
-Waterfalls, with clear azure blue water, some can attempt swimming

-Cultural Tourism-There are a number of cultural Tourism Programs around Mt. Kilimanjaro. This includes Mostly Chagga and some Maasai.

-Home and Legend of the Chagga Guide and Marangu native (African) Mr. Yohana Lauwo who was among the first Mountain Climber guide and aided the First Whiteman (European) Dr.Hans Meyer to Conquer Mt.Kilimanjaro in 1889.

Another Great feature in Tanzania is National parks and Game reserves which are habitats of thousands of millions of wild animals, trees, and bird species that you can enjoy seeing them.

Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism with several governing Authorities like Wildlife Division, Tanzania National Parks, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area make sure these wild animals' habitats are protected and remain intact for use of present and future generations. The intrinsic and Aesthetic values benefit both Local communities around those Game parks, Tanzanians, and visitor Tourists from across the world.
Vacation holiday activities that can be planned are wildlife viewing tours, walking safaris, bird watching, canoeing, game drives, and wildlife safaris.

Tanzania is one of the unique destinations on the African continent that has yet to be discovered by many. With such a perfect location, perched on the edge of the African continent, and facing the Indian Ocean, Tanzania’s weather and climate leave nothing to be desired. Warm and sunny days are followed by cool and balmy nights.
Points of interest about Tanzania wildlife safaris.


African safaris will send you to National parks and game reserves for wildlife viewing tours. African safaris will enable you to see AFRICA BIG 5 - Elephants, Rhinocerous, Lion, Leopard, and Buffalo in Tanzania. An exceptional feature in Tanzania travel safaris is the great wildebeest migration in Tanzania in Serengeti National Park. Other wild animals are Giraffes, antelopes, Zebras plus many other animals.



Thousands upon thousands of wildebeest that march in mindless unison on the annual migration through the Serengeti, perhaps? Or a family of elephants wading across the wide, muddy Rufiji/Tarangire River? What about pride of well-fed lions sunbathing on the grassy floor of the majestic Ngorongoro Crater? Certainly, it is such images that tend to spring to mind when one thinks of Tanzania. And properly so!

Tanzania, truly, is a safari destination without peers. The statistics speak for themselves: an unparalleled one-quarter of its surface area has been set aside for conservation purposes, with the world-renowned Serengeti National Park and incomprehensibly vast Selous Game Reserve heading a rich mosaic of protected areas that collectively harbor an estimated 20 percent of Africa’s large mammal population.



Rising from the sandy shores of Lake Tanganyika, the forested Gombe Stream and the Mahale Mountains National Parks vie with each other as the best place in the world to track wild chimpanzees. Closer to the coast, the isolated massifs of the under publicized Eastern Arc Mountains have been dubbed the ‘African Galapagos’ in recognition of their wealth of endemic plants and animals. And Tanzania’s daunting natural variety is mirrored by a cultural diversity embracing 120 distinct tribes: from the iconic Maasai pastoralists of the Rift Valley, to the Arab-influenced Swahili of the coast, to the Hadzabe hunter-gatherers of Lake Eyasi.



Well, the one thing that does bind Tanzania’s diverse attractions is, of course, its people, who take justifiable pride in their deeply ingrained national mood of tolerance and peacefulness. Indeed, Tanzania, for all its ethnic diversity, is practically unique in Africa in having navigated a succession of modern political hurdles – the transformation from colonial dependency to independent nation, from socialist state to free-market economy, from mono-partyism to fully-fledged democracy - without ever experiencing sustained civil or ethnic unrest.

Tanzania has also, over the past 20 years, emerged from comparative obscurity to stand as one of Africa’s most dynamic and popular travel destinations: a land whose staggering natural variety is complemented by the innate hospitality of the people who live there.

Ecotourism is the best practice that will make the environment remain intact, local people benefit and tourists enjoy the real African beauty in unspoiled status. Ecotourism will provide positive experiences for both visitor tourists and hosts. As a matter of raising awareness on importance of nature conservation to hosts and tourists, ecotourism accomplish the role. As a Tour Operator, we contribute to conservation.
