Tanzania

For the most part, luxury safaris in Tanzania focus on game drives as the primary mode of wildlife viewing. Days, are typically scheduled around an early morning and an afternoon drive or for those who want to observe more and prefer being out for longer day.

Sunset is observed with sundowners’ in-hand—a gin and tonic is the tradition—served in a scenic spot. Depending on your camp or lodge, a gourmet, multi-course dinner can be taken convivially with other guests, privately in your room or al fresco under the star-studded sky in the bush. After dark, you might gather round an outdoor fire, stargaze, enjoy a night game drive if you are staying in the private wildlife sanctuaries, lay out on a star bed or simply retreat to your room to rest for the next sumptuous day on safari.

Activities like hot air ballooning in the Serengeti, guided bush walks, community visits, research participation and so much more will add diversity to the day. Wonderfully, Tanzania also offers a host of adventurous options for safari-goers who want to explore on foot. Walking safaris, where you’ll sleep in minimalist but well-equipped fly camps, weave through untouched pockets of the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Highlands and beyond.

The Tanzanian people are heaven – our handpicked private guides are some of the most knowledgeable and charismatic in the business and your Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti safari will be packed full of fantastic game viewing and meeting the famous Masai tribe.

If you’re after a real adventure in Africa’s last great wildernesses then a tour of Southern Tanzania, the Selous and Ruaha, or Western Tanzania, Katavi and Mahale will blow your mind – these areas are pristine, untouched, full of game and there to be explored. Southern and Western Tanzania are two unique African safari destinations where you really can feel as if you’ve gone to the ends of the earth. There are still vast tracts of unexplored bush here, which is full to the brim with tranquility of Tanzanian wildlife.
