Big cats and the Big Five
Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino, in the parks where each is most reliably found. We will tell you honestly which of the five are likely on your route and which are a matter of luck.

Experiences
Ways to travel
Two people can visit the same three parks and come home with completely different trips. What changes it is what you build the days around.
The Great Migration
Where the herds are depends entirely on the month. Calving on the southern plains from January to March, the northern river crossings from July to October. Tell us your dates and we will take you to where they actually are.

Safari and beach
A week of early mornings in the parks, then the Indian Ocean. The flight from the Serengeti to Zanzibar takes under two hours.

Walking safaris
On foot with an armed ranger, in the parks that permit it. Everything is a different size when you are not in a vehicle.

Boat safaris
On the Rufiji in Nyerere National Park, at water level with hippo, crocodile and whatever has come down to the bank.
Plan around this
Photography safaris
Longer at each sighting, positioned for the light, out before dawn and back after dusk. Fewer parks, more time, and a guide who understands why you want to wait.

Birdwatching
Tanzania records over eleven hundred bird species. Tarangire, Manyara and the Momela Lakes are outstanding, and we can pair you with a guide who knows them.
Plan around this
Balloon safaris
A dawn launch over the Serengeti, an hour in the air, and breakfast laid out in the bush where you land. Arranged as an add on to any Serengeti itinerary.
Plan around this
Day trips from Arusha
Arusha National Park, Lake Duluti, Materuni waterfalls and the coffee farms on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. For spare days and short schedules.
Plan around this
Small group departures
Join a shared vehicle with a handful of other travellers. Cheaper than a private safari, and good company.
Plan around this
Fly in safaris
Light aircraft between parks instead of long drives. The way to see the southern and western parks, and the way to fit more in when time is short.
Plan around this
Students and school groups
Field trips and study tours built around a curriculum, with guides who teach and pricing structured for groups.
Plan around this
Weddings and honeymoons
Ceremonies in the bush or on the beach, and honeymoons that work as honeymoons rather than as endurance tests.
Plan around this
Tell us what you want to see.
There is no fixed menu here. Tell us your dates, how long you have, and what matters most to you, and we will put together a safari built around that. You will have a reply within a day, written by the person who will plan your trip.
