Destinations

Most safari operators treat the Southern circuit as an afterthought. We don't. Tanzania has two distinct safari worlds, and choosing between them changes everything about your trip.

Northern Tanzania

Home to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzania's highest wildlife density, the Great Migration from June to October, and year-round Big Five sightings across four connected parks.

Serengeti National Park

Ngorongoro Crater

Tarangire National Park

Lake Manyara National Park

Arusha National Park

Mikumi National Park

Ruaha National Park

Nyerere National Park

Southern Tanzania

Mikumi, Ruaha, and Nyerere. Fewer crowds, walking safaris, and boat safaris you won't find in the north. Mikumi is just four hours from Dar es Salaam.

★★★★★

We drove four hours from Dar es Salaam and by mid-morning were watching a pride of eight lions work their way along the Ruaha riverbed. No other vehicles. Our guide stopped the engine and we just listened. Nothing in two decades of travel has come close.
