The Place

Tanzania holds the densest concentration of wildlife on the continent. We design a circuit, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, the right Serengeti camp for your dates, and finish with three nights in a Zanzibari stone-town house and a quiet north-coast beach.

Questions

What we get asked about Tanzania.

Tanzania is heavier on wildlife density; Kenya on cultural variety. Most clients do Kenya for a first safari, Tanzania for a second.

Absolutely, but go in private vehicle and start at dawn. The day-tour convoys arrive at 10 a.m.

Two in Stone Town, three to four on the coast. Less and you'll wish you had more.

June–October for the Great Migration; January–February for calving in the southern Serengeti.
