Why Tanzania - What To Expect
Tanzania is wonderfully unique and offers beauty and mystique like no other. It has so much to offer in its wealth of diversity in wildlife, culture, history and geography. Tanzania boasts some of the best National parks for spotting game and has the largest concentration of animals per square km in the world. Home to 162 tribal groups, including the colourful Maasai, there is no shortage of cultural diversity. The Great Rift Valley cuts through the country, giving life to many wonderful geographical features such as the flamingo-filled Lakes of Manyara and Natron and to Ngorongoro Crater, the largest of its type in the world and one of the top parks for spotting the ‘Big 5’. The snow caps of Kilimanjaro, the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, confirms your sense that you are truly in a special place.
Tanzania gained independence from the British in 1961 and has continued to remain a very stable country. Despite all the peace and beauty, Tanzania has almost 70% of its population living below the poverty line. Poverty is highest in rural areas, resulting in malnutrition, primarily in women and children. Education, although now free, is still basic, lacking facilities in most schools, and parents still have to find the funds to support this, as well as school meals and equipment. Often schools don’t contain much more than a classroom, benches, black blackboard and fewer educational resources than we are used to.

“An unforgettable experience! The itinerary which GLV put together was perfect. The activities ranged from those with a strong biological basis to community based ones and these were interweaved were recreational ones. The balance was excellent. I was particularly delighted that all of the activities were forged together with the underlying theme of sustainability. The organisation of the entire trip was spectacular with GLV always on hand and massively flexible to make minor changes when needed. So many of my students reflected that this was a trip of a lifetime and they are absolutely correct when saying this. If you are considering a trip to Tanzania with your students, there is only one person to work with – Dom from GLV. I recommend it highly!”
“Our sixth form trip to Tanzania was absolutely incredible, and so much of that responsibility came down to Dom. He organised the most spectacular itinerary, with an amazing array of biological and cultural experiences, all balanced with time for rest and lots of fun and all differentiated to suit our group’s needs. When out in Tanzania, Dom was a reassuring, approachable, knowledgeable, supportive and fun presence for the students, and we had complete faith that we were all in the safest hands with him. Dom’s experience and guidance facilitated a trip of a lifetime for not just our students, but staff too.”
“GLV was a brilliant throughout our trip to Tanzania. He planned a superb itinerary that gave us wonderful insights into Tanzanian culture, society and wildlife and was proactive whenever our group needed assistance. I came away from the trip inspired by the experiences I had. I couldn’t recommend GLV more for a trip for their professionalism, affability and knowledge.”
