Next Door, Slightly Bigger
Jambo Tanzania,Where The Plains Never End
Endless horizons, a crater full of wildlife and a beach waiting at the end. Pole pole, there is no rush.
Endless horizons, a crater full of wildlife and a beach waiting at the end. Pole pole, there is no rush.
Tanzania does everything on a grand scale. The Serengeti rolls to the horizon, Ngorongoro Crater packs a whole ecosystem into one enormous bowl, and Tarangire’s baobabs stand guard over elephant herds that seem to go on forever.
Then, when your boots are dusty and your camera is full, you can fly to Zanzibar and learn what a day with no plan feels like. We handle every transfer, so all you do is look out of the window.
01Plains so wide the sky seems to curve. Lions on the kopjes, cheetahs on the hunt and wildebeest on the move. A hot air balloon at dawn is optional but highly encouraged.
02A volcanic crater that holds lions, elephants, hippos and one of your best chances of a black rhino, all within view of your vehicle. Think of it as a zoo with no fences and much better manners.
03Giant baobabs, big elephant herds and far fewer vehicles. In the dry season animals gather along the river, and the rest of the year you get peace and quiet.
04White sand, turquoise water and the winding alleys of Stone Town. The perfect place to end a safari, with a spice market tour and a very good nap.

10 DaysDawn with lions, dusk with a sundowner by the Indian Ocean. Finish with toes in the sand.
Ask About This Safari →The dry months of June to October give the easiest wildlife viewing. January to March is calving season in the southern Serengeti, and July to October brings river crossings in the north. The green seasons are quieter and good value.
Seven to ten days works well for the northern circuit. Add three or four more if you would like to finish on Zanzibar.
Yes. The Maasai Mara and Serengeti are one great ecosystem, so they pair beautifully. We plan the crossing and transfers as one private journey.
Absolutely. Many guests go from the Serengeti straight to the beach. We book the flights and the stay so you can simply switch from binoculars to snorkel.
That is our favourite kind of trip. Honeymoon, family, photography, culture or all of them at once: tell us the feeling you want and we shape the days around it.
Tanzania safaris take in some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa: the Serengeti plains and the Great Migration, the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ruaha and Nyerere, with Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar to round off the trip. Every Tanzania safari is tailor-made around you.
