We’ve been on a journey into the southern Serengeti, going up and around the many kopjes that are scattered throughout the area. We fell in love, again, with the expanse of views, of being ‘on top of the world’ with the feeling that we could see for miles in all directions, and with that the sense of being quite alone. These southern plains are more remote, less travelled, except by the many animals, birds and reptiles that live here year-round and it's here that we've set up our new base camp.

FAQs
Is it safe to drink tap water in Tanzania?
We advise against drinking the tap water in Tanzania and as such, we provide safe drinking water in all camps and vehicles so guests can remain well hydrated throughout their trip.
Do lodges offer honeymoon packages or upgrades?
Many do, yes - private dinners, spa treatments or surprise sundowners that add thoughtful moments to the trip. Occasionally, there are discounts for one spouse and it can be worth researching.
What I wish I knew before going on safari
Always take a good pair of binoculars. And slow down. Take time to enjoy and area or the safari camps. There is sometimes nothing more special than spending the afternoon or early morning on your veranda and letting the wildlife come to you.
What is the difference between Serengeti National Park and Nyerere National Park?
The first difference is terrain. The Serengeti is all vast plains and iconic kopjes, whereas Nyerere is riverine wilderness where variety in activity becomes ever possible, boating, fishing etc. Both areas are wild with superb game but very different in landscape.
Is Tanzania a good honeymoon destination?
Absolutely. Wild, remote and deeply romantic. We believe a safari honeymoon strikes the perfect balance of adventure and calm. No two days are ever the same and what better way to kick off married life.
What is the best month to travel to Tanzania?
Tanzania is a year round destination, especially in Northern Tanzania. So your visit often depends on family schedules or particular wildlife experiences on the bucket list. We love January to March in Ngorongoro and southern Serengeti Plains when the air is clear, nice temperatures and the migration arrives in town for calving season. This is an extraordinary time to be there.
How much does a safari cost?
The cost of a safari does vary, from simple bush camps or tented camps to high-end luxury or private houses. In Tanzania, there is a wide spectrum of accommodation allowing travellers to mix and match, building tailormade itineraries to suit a budget. Specialist tour operators are able to advise on the best options for your budget. Included in the safari cost is access to the wild, expert guides and unique experiences.
What is Christmas and New Year like on Safari?
Quiet, wild and wonderfully different. Enjoy your festive dinners under the stars with lion calls in the distance - what a gift for the family.
