Tanzania being a reunion of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964 after Tanganyika gained independence in 1961, has become a center of world wonder and a world renowned for its stability and peace. A wealth of game parks, scenic scenery, natural attractions, mineral wealth, amazing mountains and valleys, rich history, great lakes and rivers, lakes and spectacular islands including Zanzibar, the people and humanity, tribes and culture, government and strong governance, the unification of the people into the Swahili language and many other surprises is one of the things that puts Tanzania in a unique position in Africa. Tanzania is a safe country and an ideal place for all foreigners who want to travel to East Africa and especially Tanzania. Tanzania as a whole is a safe pla...

When to see the Great Migration in Africa The annual Wildebeest Migration that takes part throughout the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystem is one of the most spectacular events on the wildlife calendar. It has been described as “the greatest show on earth”. The migration route can change from year to year as the movements depend on rainfall and grazing. So predicting when to see the Great Migration in Africa can be a tricky science. Fortunately, Bohobe Travels guides on the ground in both Tanzania and Kenya have been documenting the migration dates over the last 10 years. During that period, there have not been many instances when the Great Migration has been in the exact same location during the same dates as the year before, as this is a natural phenomenon of the wilderness and dependent on numerous seasonal factors. This means there is a lot more skill involved in booking an African migration safari than simply replicating the dates of the previous year. Below is a rou...

You’ve waited months for your safari to finally come around. And now you have to decide what you must pack for your safari. Decisions, decisions, decisions.   Bohobe Travels   is here to help. Here are a few of our tips: 1. Passport, itinerary, travel insurance docs and eTickets It seems obvious, but we would be remiss if we didn't put this at the top of the list of what you must pack for your safari. 2. Prescription meds Remember to put your prescription medications in your hand luggage (in case your check-in bag goes astray... it happens!)…and make sure you have enough of each type to last your entire safari. 3. Prescription glasses (sunglasses, hat, sunblock et al) If you wear prescription glasses, be sure to pack more than one set (in case you lose one or they get broken). You will be outdoors for much of the time, so be prepared. Pack a hat, sunblock, long sleeves, and lip balm. 4. Camera, video and binoculars Whilst most people will remember to t...

So many people fly everywhere these days that you might think the African road trip is a thing of the past. This is not actually the case. While it does seem that the “On the Road” experience of getting a car and just going for the sake of going is in decline, the statistics (and the number of cars all around you) prove that more travellers than ever are taking to the roads for vacations and family visits, albeit apparently for more frequent but shorter trips. And frankly, with airline customer service unquestionably in decline, many Americans would rather drive than fly. Stats aside, there is no denying that the lure of the road is undeniable and probably eternal; it almost seems embedded in our very makeup. There is a richness to traversing the land an inch at a time that is absent from the experience of climbing into a metal canister and climbing out at your destination. To get the most of your experience, don’t miss these road trip tips. 1. Clean your car befor...

This is what Alfa Singkoh had to say right after her Safari with Bohobe Travels " I had 2 days 1 night trip to Mikumi with Bohobe Travel.Actually just came back a few hours ago. Me and my sister had a great time and we recommend this travel agent. Though maybe not leaving Dar at 4am because we got too tired during our safari on day 1 and we only did one safari on this trip.If I go again I would prefer to do two days safari, leaving in the morning at least at 7am so I can still have 6 hours sleep on the day before. It would have been ideal to have the afternoon safari on day 1 and morning safari on day 2.However Abraham was flexible and understood the situation. So on day 2 as planned we went to Masai village and it was really special!We felt so relaxed in interacting with the Masai families in there without being rushed.Abraham, Said and their assistants were very polite and easy to communicate with.Abraham and Saidi were fluent in English and we enjoyed the chatting duri...

                 Balloon flights Flights by balloon take off as dawn breaks over the Serengeti, the perfect silence of the early morning plains broken only by the soft roar of the balloon. Far below, wildebeests scatter, looking everywhere but up at the silent visitor that floats over their world. After the thrill of landing , a champagne breakfast awaits, the air becoming warmer as the sun climbs in the sky and curious zebra look up from their grazing at the chink of cutlery in the still warm bush. Diving Scuba diving the coral reefs off Tanzania’s coast at Zanzibar and Mafia Island offer some of the world’s finest scuba diving. Diving is possible all year around, although the Kusi Monsoon (strongest June-Sept) is accompanied by choppy seas and strong currents that make the more exposed reefs inaccessible. There can also be strong winds in December and January. Visibility is best from...
