“Tanzania is the safari against which every other safari is measured.”

Where We Travel

Tanzania remains the heart of what we do, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and the wilderness beyond them, each with its own rhythm and season. Most of our itineraries are built entirely within its borders, moving between parks by light aircraft or road as the safari requires.

For travellers who want to see more of East Africa in a single trip, we also arrange combined itineraries that cross into Kenya, the Masai Mara alongside the Serengeti, or Amboseli paired with a Kilimanjaro climb. These routes are shown separately below.
