Overview Accommodation Experiences When To Go

Why drive when you can walk?

On foot, the bush opens up in an entirely different way, slower, quieter, and you know that every sense is switched on. Walking is about connection, not distance. It’s about being part of the landscape, not just passing through it.

Walk the walk

A walking safari here can take you right into the thick of it. On foot, the bush seems so much closer and all the details stand out: animal prints in the sand that foretell movements of the game that went before; scattered seed pods, feathers and porcupine quills. All these little things that can so easily go unnoticed from a vehicle, they all offer fascinating clues to this life in the bush. 

 

Kusini all year round

On the edge of the annual cycle of the migration, we’ve always found plenty of game that stays here. Elephants move through the woodlands, buffalo gather around the lower rocks, and lions call at night. Not to mention the elegant giraffe, who seemingly congregate around our base camp. There are also countless small things to seek out: the birds are extraordinary, and lizards sit on every rock. This area rewards a ‘smaller eye’ – a sense of stillness, patience, and letting the bush come to you, whilst you sit and quietly watch. 

One of our favourite things

A bush dinner on or around the kopjes under a huge night sky. The food just tastes better and the wine is the perfect accompaniment as you listen to the sounds of the night come alive. This is where we would always have dinner if we had the choice. 

It's about the small stuff

On a walk, let your guide's eyes show you the things that you might otherwise miss. Nature's patterns on a leaf, the age-old flow of water on rocks that has ultimately enabled small natural waterholes to form, and the symbiotic relationship of lichen on the rock kopjes that are scattered all over. Everywhere you look, there is something to marvel at, things that you can easily miss from a vehicle.

How much driving is involved in a Tanzania Safari?

The driving distances on a Tanzania safari can vary depending on the area you are visiting and also your appetite for driving. Northern Tanzania allows for a full driving circuit with National Parks within reasonable distances. We love to drive when we can as we believe it allows for an exciting adventure through towns and villages and you learn so much about Tanzania and its wonderful people.

What is the difference between a lodge and a tented camp?

Lodges are more permanent, often with solid walls and more amenities available. Tented camp are light touch, with canvas walls, open air and the sounds of bush throughout!

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.

Do I need a visa to travel to Tanzania?

Not all travellers into Tanzania require a visa. You must have a single entry tourist visa or business visa, is the general rule but there are country exemptions from this. On the most part, single entry or business visas can be obtained on arrival but we recommend where possible, to process the visa online ahead of travel - just make sure you allow enough time to do so!

When is the green season?

From late November to May. It's a gorgeous time to be in Tanzania - expect dramatic skies, lush landscapes and superb wildlife. Also, less people.

How far in advance should I book my safari?

For peak seasons, between 9 and 12 months ahead is wise. This can vary depending on the places and camp you'd like to visit with some filling up earlier. The best camps and guides are worth planning for.

Can I charge my devices whilst on safari?

Yes you can charge your devices whilst on safari. Most camps have connection points in the tent or room. Also, in most safari vehicle there is charging points available so you can keep all your cameras and phones topped up and never miss that wonderful sighting.

What to wear on Safari in Tanzania?

Pack lightweight is the first tip. Next neutral colours are great - khaki, beige and olives - however not every item needs to be khaki by any means. There is no harm in a splash of colour in the bush. Long sleeves and trousers are a necessary addition to protect you from the sun and insect or mosquitoes in the evening. You are on the move a lot so always have a pair of comfy, sturdy shoes whether that be walking boots, trainers or safari style boots. This is especially important if you are embarking on a walking safari. Bring a light, warm jacket for those early mornings and sometimes even a beanie may be required depending on the time of year. Finally, do bring a good hat - wide brimmed or just a baseball cap - needed to protect you from the African sun.
