Why go
The Short Version of Tanzania
Northern Tanzania holds some of Africa's most celebrated wildlife country: the endless plains of the Serengeti, the volcanic bowl of Ngorongoro and the baobab landscapes of Tarangire.
The migration moves through the year, so we plan camps around when you travel. Then, if you like, we end with Zanzibar's white sand and Stone Town.

A Signature Journey in Tanzania
How does planning a trip with you work?
Send us a short brief through the trip planner or by email. We reply with questions, then a first draft itinerary. You mark it up, we refine it, and only once it feels right do we talk about confirming anything.
Are the journeys on this site fixed?
No. Each signature journey is a starting point showing a route we think works. Days, hotels, pace and stops can all change. You can also ask for a place that isn't listed here.
Why don't you show prices?
The cost of a trip depends on your dates, party size, hotel level and how you want to move around, so a headline price would rarely match what you actually pay. You receive an itemised quote for your own trip before you commit to anything.
