Get ready to feel small indeed. Northern Tanzania is wilderness on a mind-blowing scale: big skies, big herds, big mountains, Big Five, big drama. This is where you’ll find the country’s finest safari spots and most striking terrain.
Northern Tanzania’s wilderness goes on forever, an untamed eternity on an enormous scale. It’s home to the continent’s highest mountain, the planet’s largest intact caldera, unfathomable numbers of animals, vast golden plains, truly enormous skies. This is bowl-you-over country: big, bewitching, breathtaking at every turn.
Tanzania’s finest safari spots are clustered here, and we’ll fly you effortlessly between them, to reveal the regions full diversity, depth and drama. We’ll take you to the treetops of Tarangire, where bedrooms balance amid the baobabs and the country’s biggest concentration of elephants roams. We’ll drop you down into Ngorongoro Crater, the UNESCO-listed basin brim-full of wildlife. And we’ll sweep you straight onto the boundless Serengeti, so you’ve got front-row seats for the wildest show on earth.
We’ve planned our meticulous luxury safaris in Tanzania to maximise your immersion in the African bush (with plenty of lovely surprises along the way). You’ll be treated like a VIP from start to finish: we’ll fast-track you through airports, drive you directly onto runways, whisk you away in our private plane, serve you champagne and nibbles – Then we’ll deliver you into the heart of the wilderness to be pampered at the finest camps and have your eyes opened by the very best guides.
Know that you’ll be treading lightly, too: each of our trips contributes to Land & Life, a foundation committed to a sustainable future that sees local communities benefit from tourism, safeguarding nature for the next generation.
So fly with us for less time travelling, more time doing. No minute is wasted. Which leaves more opportunity for game drives and bike rides, for sundowners and stargazing, for campfires, bush walks, birdsong and the Big Five. For feeling Africa seep into your soul.
