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.

- 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

The Mahale Mountains in western Tanzania are famous for their chimps: there are some 800 of them here, around 75 of them habituated. Guests at this spectacular beach lodge on Lake Tanganyika are likely to spot other primate species, too, including red colobus, red-tailed monkeys and vervets.
