The Journey

Why You Will Love This One

Tanzania at the top of its game: a private camp in the Serengeti, a lodge on the crater rim and a beachfront villa in Zanzibar with your own plunge pool.

Light aircraft keep the road time minimal and the champagne time generous.

Everything is a starting point. Add a night where you fall in love, swap a camp or bolt on a beach, and we will shape it around you.

  • Private Bush Dinner with your private guide
  • Hot Air Balloons in Serengeti
  • Lions On The Kopjes at Serengeti
  • 9 nights across 3 stops
Your Route
