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

Our tents were beautifully located under a Kigelia tree with extra bed sites on a platform where we could sleep under the Southern Cross if we wanted to. The guides were professionals and they never got tired of showing and explaining the bush and the wildlife to us. We had tears in our eyes when we had to leave after 5 magic days.

The majority of safari camps and safari 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.

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