First trip to Africa

Tanzania Safari for First-Time Africa Travelers

Planning your first trip to Africa can feel exciting and a little overwhelming at the same time. Tanzania offers a particularly varied introduction to the continent, but the best first safari is not the one that tries to include everything. It is the one that gives you enough time to experience Tanzania rather than simply move through it.

Best Tanzania Safari for Couples

Some journeys are remembered for the places you visit. Others are remembered because you experienced them together.

Behind the lens

Best Tanzania Safari for Photographers

Your best Tanzania wildlife photograph may depend on more than having the right camera. It may depend on where you are at sunrise, how long you can remain with a sighting, the position of your vehicle, the experience of your guide and whether your itinerary gives you enough time to wait for the moment to happen.

What Is a Luxury Tanzania Safari?

A luxury Tanzania safari is about more than staying in an expensive lodge.

Private vs Group Safari in Tanzania

Choosing between a private and a group safari is one of the most important decisions when planning your trip. Both take you into Tanzania’s remarkable parks; the difference is how you experience the journey.
