Northern circuit
Serengeti National Park
The plains that host the Great Migration. Best between January and March for the southern calving, June to October for the northern crossings.

Tanzania safaris from Nairobi
The Serengeti, the Crater, Tarangire baobabs and a Zanzibar beach at the end of it. We fly you in and build the route around what is moving on the ground, not the calendar.
Tanzania, the long way
Tanzania is bigger, wilder and emptier than Kenya, and most of the safari you came to East Africa for happens inside one of its parks. The Serengeti alone is the size of Belgium. We will not pretend to drive all of it.
We plan Tanzania as fly-in safaris — light aircraft from Nairobi or Arusha into the Serengeti or the Crater, then a private vehicle on the ground. That keeps the days for game viewing rather than for road. We combine it with Zanzibar (a 90-minute flight), which most of our clients want at the end.
We are based in Nairobi, not Arusha, so we handle the cross-border logistics ourselves — Kenya-side road, the Namanga border handover, the flight connection on the Tanzania side, and the lodge check-ins. One office, one planning thread.
Where you go in Tanzania
The parks we work in, and what they are for.
Northern circuit
Ngorongoro Crater
The world's largest unbroken caldera, and the densest concentration of crater-floor wildlife anywhere. A full day inside usually delivers black rhino, lion and hyena without driving more than a few kilometres.
Northern circuit
Tarangire National Park
Baobab country. Big herds of elephant in the dry season, fewer visitors than its neighbours and strong night-game-drive options from the river-side lodges.
Northern circuit
Lake Manyara
A small Rift Valley park, famous for tree-climbing lions and a flooded forest where flamingos gather by the thousand. Pairs well with Tarangire in one day.
Beach
Zanzibar
The standard finish line for a Tanzania safari. Stone Town for a couple of nights, then north or south for the beach. We handle the flight, the transfers and the hotel.
Southern circuit
Ruaha & Selous
For those who want a quieter Tanzania. Larger concentrations of elephant and wild dog, no other vehicles on sight, and lodge accommodation that is genuinely remote.
Nairobi → Arusha → Serengeti
The standard routing. Drive from Nairobi to Arusha (six hours, with the Namanga border stop), overnight, light aircraft into the Serengeti the next morning. Game drives from camp; fly back to Arusha, connect to Zanzibar or Nairobi for the flight home.
What the Tanzania trip costs
We quote per programme rather than publish, because everything depends on park fees, the camp level and the time of year. Tell us dates and group size and you will have a number within twenty-four hours, in English or German.
