The place

Getting to know Tanzania

The northern circuit is the classic: the Serengeti and its migration, the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire’s elephants and baobabs, and Lake Manyara’s birds and tree-climbing lions.

Beyond it sit Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, which our team can arrange guided treks up, and the Selous Game Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site larger than Switzerland. Zanzibar is the usual finish, a stretch of beach after the safari.

There is no fixed itinerary to show yet. Message us with dates and the people travelling, and we build one.

When to go

Seasons in Tanzania

High season, June to October

Dry, blue skies and the migration; also the most expensive and the busiest.

Shoulder seasons, late October to early December and April to early June

A balance of weather, price and crowds. The short rains begin around November and are usually light and in the evening.

Low season, March to May

Long rains, lower prices, green landscapes and fewer visitors. Some roads turn muddy and some lodges close.

Parks and places
