Trip Description:
We’ve designed this itinerary to give you our favorite way to experience northern Tanzania! Avoid the big tour groups and big lodges that cater to them by exploring the highlights of Tanzania’s popular northern circuit with your own private guide and vehicle and staying in small and unique places that represent a more authentic safari experience. A scheduled flight back from the Serengeti maximizes your time on safari and offers a bird’s eye view of the safari route. 

We know this area well and will be happy to guide you through the endless options as this safari will be customized specifically for YOU!

If you have more time, we can lengthen your safari by slowing the pace and adding more nights or add other areas or regions. Or how about chilling out with your toes in the warm sands of the Indian Ocean? Tanzania's coastline boasts many ways to soak in some tropical splendor before you head home.

Accommodations: A comfortable mix of accommodations – a hotel, permanent tented lodge, a quaint farmhouse and a seasonal mobile camp -- that give you the perfect balance between comfort, privacy and splendid isolation. Looking for something different or extra special? Just ask your jounrey specialist for ideas and options!

Transportation: Specially equipped 4x4 Land Cruiser or Land Rovers outfitted with photo hatches. All safari vehicles are equipped with HF plus VHF communication radios, guidebooks and a cool box for drinks.
