A world class safari destination

Tanzania is Africa at its most wild and beautiful – iconic safaris, remote national parks, and Zanzibar’s stunning white-sand beaches.

If you're dreaming of a trip that blends adventure with unforgettable beauty, let us introduce you to Tanzania – a country we genuinely love and can't wait to share with you.

Tanzania is one of those rare places where nature feels completely untouched and wildly alive. It’s home to some of Africa’s most iconic landscapes: the endless plains of the Serengeti, where the Great Wildebeest Migration unfolds; the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater; and the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak.

But Tanzania also has a wild, remote side that many travellers never get to see – places like Ruaha National Park, with its rugged beauty and vast elephant herds; Katavi, where you’ll often feel like you have the entire park to yourself; and the magical Mahale Mountains, where you can track wild chimpanzees on foot along the shores of Lake Tanganyika. These parks offer a deeper, more off-the-beaten-path experience for those looking to go beyond the usual safari circuit.

Whether you're tracking big cats on a game drive or sipping sundowners as elephants drink from a nearby waterhole, every day here is a thrilling adventure waiting to happen.

But it isn’t just about safari. One of the best things about Tanzania is how easy it is to combine adventure with relaxation. After the dust and drama of the bush, you could be on a white-sand beach in Zanzibar within hours – swimming in turquoise waters, wandering through Stone Town, or simply doing nothing at all.

January

January is mixed when it comes to weather, temperatures rise whilst the chance of rain and humidity increases. It is still a good time to go, as the rates are lower yet the game viewing is still excellent.

During this time migratory herds are in the Serengeti for calving season, meaning the Ndutu plains are busy.

February

The weather remains hot with a chance of rain in February.

Meanwhile in the Ndutu Plains the migration is still occurring.

March

March is the calm before the storm, before heavy rains and humidity builds. Visitors can take great advantage of lower rates during the low season.

Migrating herds start to leave Ndutu, heading West towards Grumeti.

During may there is periods of heavy rain, we would advise against travel due to the conditions.

June heralds the wet season, bringing lush green vegetation which can make spotting game more difficult. It is a particularly great time for birders as parks become populated by migratory birds especially in the South.

July

July is the start of peak season, temperatures reach up to 30 degrees and the surrounding land becomes drier and spotting game is becoming easier.

The migration is in the Northern Serengeti moving towards Kenya.

August

August is peak season, with bush land drying out game spotting becomes much easier. If you want to experience Tanzania game at its best, August is the time to travel.

The migration still remains in the north.

September

Peak season continues in September, the Northern circuit can be very busy, if you want to avoid crowds it's best to visit the southern parks.

The end of the migration is still in the north with herds on both side of the Kenyan and Tanzanian borders.

October

Peak season continues into October with good game viewing in the Serengeti and southern parks.

The migration has now crossed over into Kenya.

Migration crossing over into the Serengeti can be seen a the Tanzania and Kenya border.

Rains continue in December, whilst the temperature and humidity start to build. Venturing out on safari is generally good, with large game still easily spotted.
