Tanzania safari experiences: There's so much more to a safari than the drive.
Good news: you can add most of these to any trip. A few need booking well ahead, but don't worry, we'll tell you which ones.
The Great Migration
A movement that never stops, not a one-off event.
Picture roughly two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle moving in one big loop through the Serengeti ecosystem. There's no start, no finish, and no set date…
Game Drives
The heart of every safari.
Out before sunrise, back for the heat of the day, then out again until the park gates call you in.
Walking Safari
Slower, closer, and completely different.
On foot, you'll notice the tracks, dung, birds and insects that a vehicle zooms past at thirty kilometres an hour.
Hot Air Balloon Safari
Up before dawn, and down in time for breakfast.
An hour drifting over the plains at first light, then breakfast on the grass. Book it well ahead, because the baskets fill up fast!
Cultural Experiences
Arranged with real care, or not at all.
Visits to Maasai, Hadzabe and Datoga communities, arranged so the money reaches the community and you're genuinely welcome.
Bush Dining
Breakfast on the plains, and dinner under the stars.
Who says every meal has to happen indoors at a table?
Photography Safari
Planned around the best light.
Vehicles set up for long lenses, and guides who get why you want to stay right where you are.
Birding
Over a thousand species recorded in Tanzania.
Tarangire alone has more than 500 recorded species. Trust us, you'll want that second pair of binoculars.
Bush & Beach
The parks first, then Zanzibar.
One short flight turns a safari into a proper holiday. Most people are really glad they added it.
