No two safaris here should feel quite the same. The Serengeti changes by the week, the southern parks ask for more time, and places like Mahale or Katavi reward those willing to go a little further. Our itineraries are here as a starting point, shaped by what we know of the seasons, the wildlife, the camps and the quieter ways through.
Some follow the migration. Some slow things down on the Rufiji, or head west for chimps on Lake Tanganyika. Others bring together the northern classics; Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, in a way that still feels spacious, personal and properly wild.

Western Tanzania
Western Tanzania is about intense contrasts: from Mahale's chimpanzees and the soft, gin-clear waters of Lake Tanganyika to the mega-herbivores that roam Katavi's savage grasslands.
- Wild chimpanzee's in the Mahale Mountains
- One of the wildest places left in Africa: Katavi
- Rich in wildlife and largely devoid of people
- Remote, and virtually as we found it 20 years ago
Southern Tanzania
Southern Tanzania is all about getting right out there into the wilderness, to walk, boat, sleep under the stars in a fly-camp and feel Africa getting under your skin.
- Freedom to 'just be' in the heart of Africa
- Boat, walk, fly-camp, fish, drive in Nyerere
- Complete exclusivity at Kiba Point
- The best dry season game viewing in Ruaha

Greystoke Mahale, on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, has been around for many years. In the far and not much-explored west of Tanzania, it’s the best place in the country (probably in all Africa, actually, outside of the Democratic Republic of the Congo) to observe chimpanzees in their natural habitats.

This is to South Africa’s Kruger Park what most safaris are to Whipsnade Zoo.

Get up close and personal with our genetic cousins at Greystoke Mahale. Perched treehouse-like on the sandy shores of Lake Tanganyika, it’s your base for tracking the fascinating troops of chimps that occupy the emerald Mahale Mountains.
