Oldupai Gorge
The ‘Cradle of Mankind’ has yielded abundant fossil material dating back at least two million years. It was here (1959) that Mary and Louis Leakey discovered the remains of Nutcracker Man. Nearby, in Laitoli, (1979) Mary Leakey discovered the footprints of hominids which are estimated to be over three million years old. On leaving the interesting museum, your driver guide will show you the mysterious shifting sands.  
Geological Tours
Tanzania is rich in precious gems, not least of which is the exquisite blue Tanzanite which is found nowhere else in the world. Another treasure is the Tanzanian Ruby – a glowing red stone of rare appeal. A visit to Mererani Tanzanite Mines and Longido Ruby Mines won’t fail to fascinate.
Leisure Beach Holidays
Tanzania is not only about game viewing and hikes; it offers also incredible beaches, luxurious beach resorts and a fascinating history with eclectic architecture dating as far back as the original Arab settlers. Nungunungu Tours & Safaris encourage you to take some time to acquaint yourself with Tanzania’s marvels.   
Zanzibar
The aroma of cloves and other spices hangs in the air of this exquisite island which is still predominantly Islamic and has a wonderful market atmosphere. Paradise on Earth, the beaches are sun-drenched and the reefs ensure a profusion of marine life.
Pemba
'Al Jazeera Al Khadra' - the Green Island, together with Mafia and Zanzibar forms the spice islands archipelago. Not opened to foreigners until the mid-1980’s, Pemba is close to the occult and a centre for traditional medicine. The Ngezi forest is home to the Pemba Flying Fox, the biggest fruit bat in the world.    
Pangani
A former hub of the Arabic slave-trade this historic town is located on the shores of the Indian Ocean, at the mouth of the Pangani River (sets the barrier between the two, salt and sweet water). It remains an important centre of commerce as it is a significant producer of sisal, maize, and bananas.
Saadani National Park is the only park where the Bush meets the beach. Located along the cost line of the Indian ocean, the park contains a unique combination of terrestrial wildlife and marine, flora and fauna. Hence, it is one of the few parks in Africa where Big game has been strolling on the beach.

WHY TANZANIA

When you think of superlatives, you must think of Tanzania.  From the highest peaks of  Mount Kilimanjaro to the deepest depths of Lake Tanganyika.  From the vast plains of the Serengeti to the massive Selous Game Reserve.  From the migration of more than one and a half million wildebeest to the nocturnal movements of the the predators that stalk them.  You can find it all in Tanzania. 
Welcome all and enjoy the beauty of Tanzania.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ( FAQ'S )

WHAT IS THE BEST SEASON FOR A SAFARI?

Just about any time of year. However, the most popular seasons are mid December to mid March and July to mid September. This is because of the demand for Christmas and winter holidays and the summer school breaks. An increasing number of visitors are realising that June and October are ideal, benefiting from lower visitor numbers.
Nungunungu Tours & Safaris offers some safaris with greatly reduced or no single supplements in the months of April and May.  Also, we may well be able to offer some good discounts for larger groups during this period - please contact us for details.

WHEN AND WHERE CAN I SEE THE GREAT MIGRATION?

The millions of wildebeest and zebras are always somewhere, but they are not always in large herds and on the move. Their location is largely dependent on the weather, which can vary considerably from year to year.  In general the herds assemble south of the Serengeti during January and February, the season in which they give birth to their young. Starting around March they begin moving north and west in search of fresh grazing through the Serengeti Park.

They can move in enormously long single file lines or in huge herds. The bulk of the animals reach the Maasai Mara in Kenya, where they tend to remain during July and August, before starting their return trek southward, back through the Serengeti in November.

CAN I HAVE A PRIVATE VEHICLE?

Yes.   All safaris can be booked with the exclusive use of a vehicle for your party.   A custom safari for two clients is significantly more expensive per person than seats on a similar small group safari.  However, on a custom safari with an exclusive vehicle, the cost of the vehicle and driver/ guide are divided by the number of clients sharing the vehicle. Therefore, the per person cost of a custom safari reduces the more clients that are sharing the vehicle (maximum in one vehicle is 7).

CAN I HAVE MY OWN ITINERARY?

If you are arranging an exclusive vehicle (custom) safari,  then you are free to arrange whatever itinerary you choose, within logistical constraints. Nungunungu Tours & Safaris presents a small selection of proven itinerary favourites in this blog. We can arrange any required itinerary subject to practical and logistical considerations and will be pleased to discuss and quote for your special requirements.

SHOULD I TAKE A CAMPING SAFARI?

Nungunungu Tours &  Safaris provides luxury mobile camping and Nungunungu's Tented semi-permanent camp.  Both of these options are more expensive for groups less than four. Luxury mobile camping works out to be almost twice the price of regular lodge - based safaris. However, there is a popular option combining top lodges with permanent tented campsites in an exclusive vehicle safari which works out at a very competitive price. 

CAN I TAKE A SAFARI AS A SINGLE TRAVELLER?

Because of the size of its organisation and volume of customers, Nungunungu Tours & Safaris can easily include single travellers on most set date safari departures, subject to there being at least one other booking on the date chosen.  There is a supplement to cover the additional cost of single accommodation.  However, there is no single supplement (or a greatly reduced one) on most safaris in the low season months of April & May.

ARE SAFARIS SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN?

A safari is a wonderful trip for any child old enough to enjoy and appreciate the experience. On most safaris there are quite long trips on rough roads, and these cannot really be recommended for babies and very young children.

Children under 12 will benefit from reduced fares on scheduled airlines, and many lodges will provide an additional bed for a child sharing a room with parents at a reduced cost.
