Our sister Company, The Legendary Adventure Company specializes in organizing luxury classic tented safaris, outfitted in traditional East African style. These safaris meet the same high standards that you expect during your hunt. Tanzania has a stunning coastline with excellent beaches, good fishing and diving and an interesting history. Many of our clients choose to visit Zanzibar or Mafia Island as an extension to their hunting safari. If you are interested in safari extensions, we will be pleased to organize these for you. Classic Tented Safari: The Legendary Adventure Company Although most visitors are naturally drawn to Tanzania's world famous game viewing, the country also offers exciting and fascinating options to add on to, or make a part of your safari. Fishing In the Selous Game Reserve's great Rufiji River, graveyard to the 1st World War German battle cruiser Königsberg, is superb fishing for one of the world's greatest fighting fish - the tiger fish. Staying in the Sand Rivers Selous lodge you can search for game on foot or vehicle in the morning and then try your luck at fishing for tiger fish in the afternoon. Beware of hippos! Lake Victoria is home to the largest Nile perch in the world, some up to 300lbs. Rubondo Island Camp is on an island national park, home to a colony of chimpanzees, and offers excellent Nile perch fishing along with walking and bird watching in the forest. Staying in log cabins at the Mufindi Highland Lodge, the trout fishing in the high tea estates and rain forests of the Southern Highlands is an ideal combination with a safari into Ruaha National Park. The rich clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean offer spectacular opportunities to catch marlin, sailfish and tuna. A perfect finale to your African safari. Chimpanzees On the shores of Lake Tanganyika, at the foot of the magnificent Mahale Mountains, is a romantic Ottoman style camp from where you set out into the forest to search for chimpanzees. The chimpanzees are comfortable with our presence and whilst at Mahale Camp you are virtually certain to spend time with mankind's fascinating cousins. This is one of the few places in the world where it is possible to watch chimpanzees in their natural habitat. Ugalla River Zanzibar Once home to powerful Sultans, explorers and traders, the Spice Island of Zanzibar more than lives up to its romantic and mystical reputation. The island's Stone Town is a time warp, made up of untouched Arab and British colonial buildings, whilst the east coast is pure white sand beaches and crystal clear ocean. Horse riding safaris Game viewing from horse back is a unique experience, allowing you to ride alongside and amongst the wild animals. Experienced guides lead you through the exhilarating landscape below Mount Kilimanjaro. The horses are all well trained with a mount to suit every rider. The safari is operated in the same way as our Classic Tented Safaris. Ballooning Floating over the Serengeti Plains whilst dawn breaks over the Great Migration is a matchless experience. The balloon ride is followed by a champagne breakfast cooked over the burners of the balloon. Walking Wing Shooting Walking with your guide is an intrinsic part of our Classic Tented Safaris and allows you to acquire a much greater understanding of the East African ecosystem. The length and amount of walking is tailored to suit each party. Walking from some lodges and permanent tented camps can also be arranged. Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru At 19,340 ft Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest mountain as well as being the highest free standing mountain in the world. Although mountaineering skills are not required, making it to the summit is a great achievement and the view from the top of the world is unsurpassed. Depending on the route you take you should allow about 6 days for the climb and descent. The nearby Mount Meru is 14,980 ft, Africa's 5th highest, and can be climbed in about 3 days.
