Join our 11-day guided safari through Tanzania and experience Africa like never before

Are you ready to walk among giants, wake to the calls of monkeys, and witness one of nature’s greatest shows - the Great Migration?

Welcome to a once in a lifetime African Safari to Tanzania. Led by our expert team of guides and naturalists, this 11-day immersive journey will take you deep into the heart of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes.

What Awaits You

Up Close With Wildlife: From herds of elephants in Tarangire National Park to lions stalking the Serengeti plains, you’ll witness nature in its rawest, most awe-inspiring form.

Visit Historic Lodges and Iconic Locations: Rest easy during your adventures at amazing landmarks such as the historic Ndutu Safari Lodge, the oldest lodge in Tanzania. Wake to the peaceful sounds of wildlife at Mount Meru Game Lodge, family run since 1950 where the story doesn’t end at sundown.

A Journey Through Culture and Nature: This adventure takes you to local villages, coffee plantations, and even into canoes on the peaceful Crater Lake. Hike through the Duluti Forest, connect with people, and truly experience Africa beyond the lens of a camera.

Witness The Great Migration: Timed perfectly with the birthing season of the Great Migration, you’ll stand in awe as hundreds of thousands of wildebeest bring new life to the land while predators wait in the shadows. Truly unforgettable and you’ll have a front row seat!
