Tanzania

Tanzania is a breathtaking destination for those new to safari and for experienced safari enthusiasts alike. With over 25% of the country designated as either a game reserve, national park or controlled area, a safari in Tanzania offers abundant wildlife in prime, world famous locations such as the Ngorongoro crater and the Serengeti, and lesser known but equally stunning areas like Lake Manyara, Ruaha and Selous. As a fascinating contrast, luxuriate on the pristine silver beaches of the Zanzibar archipelago or soak up the spice-scented atmosphere and explore the winding streets of Stone Town.

The quality of Tanzanian lodges and the general infrastructure has come on dramatically in recent years: your Tanzania safari can be sublimely luxurious, wildly adventurous or suitable for the more modest budget. Whilst other safari formats are perfectly viable in Tanzania, we usually recommend private guides and exclusive use of a vehicle on our safaris.

Gaze for miles over the African plains, green or gold according to the season but always full of life.
