Northern Tanzania
The combined experience of our Northern guide team comes to well in excess of 200 years.
- The greatest concentration of wild animals on the planet
- The Great Migration
- Real elephant country in Tarangire
- Nomad's remote corner of the iconic Ngorongoro Crater
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.

In the entire park, there is not a single road, so your entire experience will be on foot. This is a wholly unique wilderness and a long way off the beaten track. But the lake, the beaches, the extraordinary forest, and of course the chimpanzees all make it a journey well worth undertaking.

The majority of safari camps and lodges are not set up for young children, but this exclusive-use sister property to the eight-room Lamai Serengeti was designed especially for them: there are two fenced-off pools (including one for infants and toddlers), the staff cook to order and game drives are when it suits.

Sweet dreams are indeed made of this.
