Tanzania Safaris, Beach Holidays and Trekking

Two or three days cover one area: Tarangire and Ngorongoro from Arusha, or Mikumi or Nyerere from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar. Five to seven days let you add the Serengeti in the north, or combine Ruaha and Nyerere in the south. Eight to ten days suit western Tanzania, with Katavi and the chimpanzees of Mahale, or a safari followed by a beach stay.

Yes. Our Classic, Signature and Bespoke journeys cover every budget, in northern, southern, western and eastern Tanzania and on the coast. Every safari is private, and you can mix accommodation levels within one trip.

The migration moves all year. January to March is calving season in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu. April to June the herds move through the central and western Serengeti. July to October is river crossing season in the north. November and December they return south. Outside the Serengeti, June to October is the best time for Ruaha, Nyerere, Katavi and Tarangire.

Wherever suits your route. Northern safaris start in Arusha or at Kilimanjaro International Airport. Southern safaris start in Dar es Salaam, or by flight from Zanzibar. Western safaris to Katavi, Mahale and Gombe start by flight from Arusha or Dar es Salaam. Beach stays start in Zanzibar, Mafia or Dar es Salaam. We meet you at the airport.

The north is best for a first safari, with the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. The south, with Ruaha and Nyerere, is wilder and quieter, with boat and walking safaris. The west has Katavi and chimpanzee trekking in Mahale and Gombe. The east has Saadani, Mikumi and the coast. Many guests combine two regions by flight.
