Tanzania – RAW Africa EcoTours

Spice Things up in Tanzania

Tanzania = Wild

If an adventure based around safaris is what you’re after, then Tanzania is the country for you. Home to Mt Kilimanjaro, the sweeping plains of the Serengeti and the wildlife haven of Ngorongoro crater, Tanzania will find a special place in your heart. And if all that isn’t enough then the tranquil beaches, coastal villages and middle eastern flare of Zanzibar, the spice island, might just sway you.

Not forgetting the rich culture and captivating people you’ll meet along the way.

A trip to Tanzania is a memorable one you’ll want to do again… and again.

CONSERVATION

At RAW Africa Eco-Tours, we are serious about supporting local communities and their conservation efforts. By joining us on a Tanzanian safari you will be helping conservation by:

A portion of all tour payments to RAW Africa Eco-Tours is passed on to the conservation organisations relevant to the places we visit and the people we meet. In Tanzania we support the Jane Goodall Institute Tanzania (through JGI Australia), Gombe Stream National Park.

Where possible, we stay in community-owned lodges and guest houses on mainland Tanzania and on the island of Zanzibar. This creates employment and provides tourism experience for local communities. We choose activities, and shop at markets, where the payment stays in the community. These actions ensure that the majority of our tourism $$ remains local.

On every RAW Africa Eco-Tours journey we ask you to do one small thing that will make a difference to wildlife. In Tanzania (including Zanzibar), we ask you to turn off your Geotag locator to protect the location of key wildlife from poachers, as you upload your images to social media. We also ask you to say “no” to plastic bags and plastic straws, which can have a significant impact on marine life and fishing systems, particularly around Zanzibar. Instead, you can purchase a beautifully crafted cotton bag.

I couldn’t recommend travelling to Africa with Raw highly enough! Exceptionally organised and the guides are fantastic. Feel like we have left with life long friends. It is also extremely important to be supporting a company that are directly helping the local communities and wildlife. All the accomodation was beautiful. The village visit in Kisoro was an unexpected highlight. What a beautiful community. Thanks so much to Brooke, Frances, Benson, Jackson, Innocent and Hussan. We can’t wait to come back!

“Ethiopia -You can never have too many coffee ceremonies! Ethiopia was fascinating, the history and traditions were amazing. Loved our trip.”

“Kenya, such a variety of wildlife experiences and insight into local culture through the eyes of Jaros, our RAW Africa Eco-tours guide. Amazing. Congo, what a wonderful, underrated tourist destination. Beautiful people, wildlife experiences and community projects. Thanks so much RAW Africa Eco-tours, I couldn’t have had a better time.”

“RAW Africa Eco-tours delivered the travel experience I had hoped for and more. Brooke’s local knowledge of the area, its wildlife, cultures and hidden secrets brought Africa to life. Not only did we experience the unimaginable, we were exposed to real community conservation projects. Thanks for an amazing 3 weeks RAW Africa Eco-tours. I’ve loved every minute of it.”

“Our Raw Africa Eco-tours safari ticked all the boxes, adventure, wildlife, communities, it was everything I hoped it would be plus more. And it’s not fake or artificial, it’s totally RAW!”

“The RAW Africa Eco-tours experience is unique because you will go off the beaten track and see a side of Africa that the mainstream companies won’t show you. RAW Africa Eco-tours took us on a trip that met our needs and interests around community conservation as well as spectacular wildlife.”

“RAW Africa Eco-tours has its heart in the right spot, I got so much out of our safari but RAW Africa Eco-tours makes it easy to give so much back. You’ll look back on your trip and realise I did that! And it makes you want to do it again.”

“This place is amazing. Before I came to Africa, I didn’t know what to expect. It has blown my mind.”

“Come with no expectations and have your mind blown.”

"What a way to escape normality of life of the western world... you need to put this on your bucket list! It was so much better than we imagined it could be. The different savannahs and the big 5 animals of National level to conversation levels, each with their own unique landscapes and history and each one was so exciting. We never imagined we would see giraffes fighting in the wild, or hear lions roaring and protecting their young or cheetahs on the hunt. But what was even more interesting was seeing how the local tribes live and survive in the savannahs among these wild animals! We felt as if we were part of National Geographic! Thanks for the amazing trip of a lifetime."

"Get ready for Kenya – Because once you see a lion in the wild, you can’t go back. The Maasai Mara will make you its own."
