11 days - from $5735

A stunning journey into the wilderness of Tanzania, combining exceptional wildlife viewing with unique cultural experiences

Maximise your chances of getting as close as possible to Tanzania's incredible wildlife on this 11-day safari. Staying in a private mobile camp with ensuite toilets, our journey is fully backed up with a support vehicle and safari crew. Our days are spent in the great game parks of Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, whilst our evenings are spent in private campsites, surrounded by the ambient starlit night skies of the African bush. At Lake Eyasi we meet the Hadzabe bush people, the most ancient tribe in Tanzania who are sure to surprise us as much with the timeless simplicity of their daily lives as with the warmth of their welcome. People, traditions, wildlife and wilderness all combine to showcase the essence of Tanzania.
