About UsKearsleys, as it is more avidly known today, was established in 1948 with a vision to serve the foreign expatriates working in Tanganyika (Tanzania before independence) with a reliable and efficient travel and tourism service to meet their needs. Originally it was a fully owned subsidiary of J.W Kearsley (UK) Ltd., owned by Cory Brothers Ltd. and a member of Powell Duffryn Group. It changed hands in 1974, when it was sold to N.V. Patel & Brothers Ltd., a locally owned holding company with a wide interest in agriculture and agro- chemical industries, air and sea transportation and general trading. Since that date the management of the company has been passed to the local board of directors consisting entirely of Tanzanians who have admirably steered the company forward and developed it into a market leader in spite of the economic challenges it faced over the years.

Kearsleys at this juncture is the oldest operating tours and travel company in Tanzania and taking this legacy into consideration, we celebrated its 50th anniversary on 2nd December 1998 with jubilation and euphoria as it earmarked a significant milestone in our history of dedicated and matchless service to the people, general air transportation and tourism sectors in Tanzania. Today, as we’re now over 65 years into our operation, we are proud to say that Kearsleys has played a pivotal and a leading role in the development of air travel and tourism in Tanzania and has built an unrivalled reputation both locally and internationally serving its clients and the travelling public at large with unparalleled and reliable service levels.

With this strong historical past, the future looks promising and we at Kearsleys are very confident that our legacy will live on for years to come.

TanzaniaThe United Republic of Tanzania is a result of two East African sover-eign states of Tanganyika and Zanzibar that united in 1964 to form one country. Tanzania is a land of multiple tourist attractions. From the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro to the endless plains of the Serengeti, from the sun kissed islands of the Zanzibar Archi-pelago to the gentle shores of lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyasa, the country contains immense cultural and natural wealth.

Tanzania is one of Africa’s most peaceful countries. Home to a flourishing democracy and prospering economy, the country is well known for its peace and security. Despite being a diverse mix of ethnic groups, village peasants and cosmopolitan professionals, Tanzanians are united by a common language, Kiswahili and a strong sense of national community. Thousands of visitors from around the world favour Tanzania as the destination for the famous Tanzania Safari.

With such a perfect Location, perched on the edge of the African continent, and facing the Indian Ocean, Tanzania’s weather and climate leaves nothing to be desired. Warm and sunny days are followed by cool and balmy nights, and whether you’re on safari on the Serengeti plains or enjoying the tropical beaches of Zanzi-bar the temperatures are always welcoming and gentle. Consult Weather and Climate to find out when the best times to visit are, and learn more about the winds and seasonal rains.

Our VehiclesWe have a fleet of vehicles including Land rover Defenders, Toyota Land cruisers, Toyota Hiace 4 x 4 Minibuses and 24 seater Toyota Coasters.

The safaris that we run are very personalized and exclusive without being overly priced. This means that when you are on safari with us you get a 4×4 vehicle which is for your exclusive use only. There will be no other clients joining you in the Tanzania safari vehicles. This has the advantage that your safari will be far more flexible in terms of times of departure etc. Times can be agreed between you and the driver guide on a daily basis. It also means that for example on a full day game drive you may want to return to the lodge for lunch instead of taking a packed lunch or you may feel tired on a particular day and want to return to the lodge to relax and enjoy

a cool drink by the pool, or you may want to stay at a particular area where there is a specific animal that you would like to view for an hour or more. This is possible on our safaris as it will be you and you only in the vehicle. On other safaris you must follow a fixed agenda for a day as you will be sharing the vehicle with other clients and so there is no flexibility at all.

1. SERENGETI NATIONAL PARKThe Serengeti National Park forms the core of the 30,000-square-kilometre Serengeti-Ngorongoro-Mara ecosystem. As such it plays the major role in the world's most famous mammalian migration, which involves some two million wildebeest and other ungulates. But even when the migration is out of range, the sheer volume of predators and grazers that inhabit the Serengeti makes for unforgettable game viewing, with a good chance of spotting all three large African cats: lion, leopard and cheetah. Most safaris focus on the plains southeast of Serengeti, site of most of the large lodges, but for those with sufficient time and resources it's worth heading further north to the remote Mara River region or the Western Corridor.

3. MAHALE MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK The steep, forested slopes of this park are home to approximately 800 of Africa's remaining wild chimpanzees. As the park is inaccessible by road, the tracking of chimps and other primates through the park's rich woodlands is done on foot - expect to be exhausted but exhilarated. The park sits on the shore of Lake Tanganyika, so you can happily rest your weary legs on one of its beaches.

2. OLDUVAI GORGEIt was here, in 1959, that the palaeontologist Mary Leakey unearthed the fossilised jawbone of the so-called 'Nutcracker Man', providing the first conclusive evidence that human evolution had been enacted on the plains of East Africa and stretched back more than a million years. The site museum is a thoroughly worthwhile stop en route between Ngorongoro and Serengeti, and the surrounding dry scrub is also rich in birds.

4. KATAVI NATIONAL PARK The wide alluvial plains of Katavi are barely visited at all, which is one of its greatest assets. Miles off the beaten track, Katavi is superb in the driest months of the year (May-October and December-February), but unpredict-able (and partially impassable) during the remainder. The intrepid few who do venture the distances are well rewarded, as the park is home to vast buffalo herds and hippo pods, and large concentrations of elephants around February. Following the short rains in November, the larger game disperses but birdlife proliferates.

5. RUAHA NATIONAL PARK Tanzania's second-largest national park, Ruaha is fabulously under-visited and a very worthwhile destination, especially when combined with the Selous. A wild and distant safari experience, its dry red-earth vistas are studded with ancient baobabs and irrigated by the rocky meanderings of the Great Ruaha River. The ecosystem here supports one of Africa's largest elephant populations, plentiful lion prides and thriving packs of African wild dogs. Leopard sightings are also frequent, and the park is a birdwatcher’s delight.

6. SELOUS GAME RESERVE The largest protected wildlife area on the continent, the Selous Game Reserve is bigger than Switzerland. Yet only a few thousand visitors come to experience the wonders of this UNESCO World Heritage site each year. The lagoons, sandbanks, lakes and shores of the Rufiji River host a wide array of wildlife and make the entire area an exciting environment for walking, boating and fly-camping safaris.

7. LAKE NATRON & OL DOINYO LENGAI Natron is one of the Rift Valley's starkest and most forbidding lakes. However, the hostile conditions are ideal for flamingos and the lake is their most important breeding site in Africa. Its waters are shadowed by the 2878m-tall Ol Doinyo lengai (the 'Mountain of God' in Maasai), which is one of East Africa's most active volcanoes. Its otherworldly caldera can be ascended in 5-6 hours, ideally at night.

8. NGORONGORO CRATERThis scenic showstopper - a vast volcanic caldera, offering mind-blowing views from the rim to the grassy floor 600m below - is the centrepiece of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, an extension of the Serengeti National Park, where Maasai pastoralists still herd their cattle amidst herds of big game. The crater also forms a natural sanctuary within a sanctuary, providing refuge lathe world's densest lion and hyena populations, some seriously impressive tuskers, and the endangered black rhino.

9. KILIMANJAROKilimanjaro towers almost 5km above the surrounding dry plains, and its snow-capped peak ranks high among Africa's top travel icons. The highest point in Africa cache reached over a 5-9 day hike (the longer the ascent, the lower the risk of altitude-related sickness), a trip that is often appended to a more conventional northern Tanzania safari.

10. ARUSHA NATIONAL PARK This petite gem of a park protects several unusual habitats: the lush Afro-montane forest around Ngurdoto Crater, which is home to athletic troops of black-and-white colobus and blue monkies; the Momella Lakes, where kayaking trips often offer close. up views of buffalo, waterbuck and myriad waterfowl; and the 4566m-tall Mount Meru, whose upper slopes and craggy peak are accessible to serious hikers. Meru's summit often emerges at dusk, induct with nearby Kilimanjaro.

11. PEMBA ISLAND North of Zanzibar, the large island of Pemba is still surprisingly rural and has a unique charm, which is only enhanced by its lack of visitors. The waters off its shores are superb for diving and deep-sea fishing. Whales, sharks and manta rays are often seen in the deeper channels.

12. ZANZIBARIt's name alone stirs thoughts of an exotic paradise. And although its current popularity and status mean it's no longer yours to enjoy alone, its powdery white sand beaches, Mafia Island lush forests and sultry, spice-scented alleyways still justify those initial sentiments.

13. MAFIA ISLAND After becoming a strategic Indian Ocean trading post in centuries past, Mafia eventually reverted to its ways of old, once again becoming a peaceful place that's home to rural fishing communities. Today, the island has the same feel, but much of its waters are now part of Tanzania's first marine park. There are plenty of diving and deep-water fishing opportunities here. The historic ruins on Chute Island are accessible by boat, and those at Kilwa Kisiwani are just a short flight away.

14. TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK The baobab-studded grassland of Tarangire National Park, just two hours drive from Arusha on a surfaced road, peaks in wildlife activity in the second half of the year. This is when the park's eponymous river becomes the only reliable source of drinking water for miles around, attracting prodigious herds of elephant, zebra and other grazers. It can also be pretty good for lion and leopard, as well as smaller predators such as mongooses and genets.

15. LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK Spectacularly situated at the base of the rift escarpment, Lake Manyara lends its name to a small national park that is big on ecological diversity. In addition to the open waters of the lake, the varied habitats include a lush groundwater forest, tracts of thick acacia woodland, tall rocky cliffs, a field of hot springs and the lake's grassy floodplain. Reliable wildlife highlights include plentiful elephants, habituated troops of blue monkey and olive baboon, and the prolific birdlife fa novice birdwatcher might easily tick 100 species in a day here). Ills also renowned for its tree-climbing lions.

Travel TipClothingYou will require comfortable, casual and semi-casual clothes for your safari to Africa. Please note that bright colours are not suitable for game-viewing and that game-drives are conducted in the early morning and late afternoon which can be cold, especially in winter.

Family SafariWe prove that it is both safe and fun to travel with children in Africa. At many of our lodges we have a host of fascinating and entertaining activities for children between the ages of three and 12 years old. For safety reasons, children five years and younger are generally not allowed at certain tented camps.

Guest SafetyGuest safety is of paramount importance and even though Africa is a safe destination, it is wise to take certain standard security precautions. Please carry a record of your passport number, airline tickets and travellers cheques, and ensure that these items are kept in a safe place. Make use of your hotel safety deposit box for expensive items and never leave baggage or personal items unattended, especially at airports. Fully trained uniformed security guards monitor animal activity within lodge areas and escort guests to/from their suites.

HealthPlease consult your physician or health department for the latest health and anti-malaria precautions. Some countries require advance inoculations (and certificates thereof) – we will advise you of these.Please ensure that you arrange your own insurance for personal effects, personal accident, medical travel expenses, baggage, cancellation and curtailment prior to your arrival. Trained first-aiders are on standby at most lodges at all times, and emergency evacuation by air is available.

PhotographyAfrican safaris offer many excellent photographic opportunities. We recommend that you use a telephoto lens (at least 80-300mm in size) for the photography of birds and game, as well as a wide-angle lens. As most game-drives are in the early morning or late afternoon, high-speed film (200/400ASA) should be used.Film and batteries are usually available along major tourist routes and from lodges, but we advise that you purchase film, bulbs and batteries prior to your departure. A lens hood and ultra-violet filter are advisable and a good bag for your equipment including a dust cover (plastic bag) is essential.

Most major credit cards are accepted at lodges/hotels, shops and restaurants. As exchange rates fluctuate, please check with your local bank or business media prior to departure.

Passport and VisasPlease ensure that you are holding a valid passport with sufficient blank pages for entry stamps in each country visited, and that you apply for visas prior to your departure.
