Destination

Tanzania.
The heart of the safari.

If East Africa is the home of the safari, Tanzania is its beating heart. The endless Serengeti, the wildlife-filled Ngorongoro Crater, the baobabs and elephants of Tarangire, and the white sands of Zanzibar to finish. We build each Tanzania journey by hand, the way we know the country.

Why Tanzania

One country, every kind of safari.

Tanzania holds an extraordinary range within its borders. You can follow the migration across the Serengeti, descend into a volcanic crater teeming with wildlife, watch elephants gather beneath ancient baobabs, and then trade the plains for an island of spice and white sand. Few countries offer this much in a single trip. We put the pieces together so the journey flows, with the right camps, the right timing, and a guide who knows the ground.

The endless plains

Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti is the stage for the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth. Across its short-grass plains, more than a million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra move in a constant search for rain and fresh grazing. The big cats follow. This is classic safari country, wide and golden, where a single game drive can hold lions on a kill, a cheetah scanning from a termite mound, and herds stretching to the horizon.

The garden of Eden

Ngorongoro Crater

A collapsed volcanic caldera, the Ngorongoro Crater holds one of the densest concentrations of wildlife in Africa within its walls. Descend the rim and you enter a self-contained world of grassland, soda lake and forest, home to lions, elephants, hippos and some of the last black rhino in the region. It is one of the few places where seeing all of the big five in a single day is a real possibility.

Elephants and baobabs

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire is defined by two things: ancient baobab trees and enormous elephant herds. In the dry season, as the wider landscape parches, animals gather along the Tarangire River in remarkable numbers. It is quieter than the Serengeti and all the better for it, a place to watch elephants move beneath the baobabs with few other vehicles in sight.

Flamingos and forest

Lake Manyara

Compact and beautiful, Lake Manyara packs a surprising variety into a small area. Groundwater forest gives way to open floodplain and a shallow alkaline lake that draws flamingos in their thousands. It is known for tree-climbing lions and large troops of baboons, and makes a perfect first or last stop on a northern-circuit safari.

The spice island

Zanzibar

After the dust of the safari, Zanzibar is the perfect contrast. White-sand beaches and warm Indian Ocean water sit beside the history and spice markets of Stone Town. It is the natural way to end a Tanzania journey, trading early game drives for slow mornings, dhow sails and fresh seafood by the sea.
