Tanzania Safari

Custom Safaris

I am dedicated to designing the safari of your dreams. After initial consulting of your preferred trip, I design the perfect itinerary with you in mind. You can specify the duration, interest, add-on excursions, budget considerations, and more.

You will always have your own luxury safari vehicle to give you the utmost freedom and flexibility while on the ground. You will be able to discuss when to start and end the day, when to return to the lodge for lunch or if you prefer to lounge at the pool for an afternoon.

Our highly experienced local guides all speak great English and have extensive knowledge of Tanzania, wildlife, and the many cultural aspects of this incredible country. You will be catered for during your stay from start to finish.

Option for privately guided Safaris

I would love more than anything to be part of your adventure and on the privately guided safaris I will be waiting at the airport from the moment you arrive in Tanzania, accompany you during the entire stay and finally wave goodbye once it is time to head back with a plethora of memories in the bag. I am a dedicated and accomplished photographer and would love nothing more than to document your travels with an option for a coffee table book once you return back home.

I will provide information of the area, the wildlife and the local communities as we venture through the Great Plains along with our local driver and guide.

Why Tanzania?

It could be argued that Tanzania with its abundance of wildlife, awe inspiring topography, and welcoming people, is the Safari capital of the world. From stampedes of wildebeests galloping across the great plains of the Serengeti, Hippos jostling for spaces in their mud pools and majestic elephants following their seasonal migrations to experiencing a trek through the jungle to catch a glimpse of the chimpanzees; Tanzania has it all. Throughout the country there are unparalleled opportunities to experience nature at its full glory.

Whether you prefer to relax and soak up the sun on the magical coastline of Zanzibar, trek to the top of Kilimanjaro’s snowcapped peak, hold your breath while a pride of lions laze in the afternoon sun in the world heritage site of Ngorongoro crater or experience the captivating cultures of the many tribes that reside in Tanzania, every option is magical. Tanzania has a plethora of “one of a kinds”.

National parks

Lake Manyara

Lake Manyara is one of the smaller parks in Tanzania but don’t let the size fool you. This stunning park is known for its tree climbing lions, elephant families moving through the forest, a massive lake where it is possible to see thousands of flamingos and large herds of baboon. Over 400 species of birds inhabit the park and many of them remain throughout the year– making this a bird watchers’ paradise. Leopards, lion, cheetahs, elephants, blue monkeys, dik-dik, gazelles, hippos, Maasai giraffe, impala, zebras and many more wild animals inhabit this park. There is a hippo pond at one end of the park where visitors can get out of their cars and observe from a safe distance. Another thing that makes Manyara so special is the diverse vegetation, the park contains 11 different ecosystems.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a protected area where both traditional culture and wildlife are protected. Many Maasai people have called this area home for centuries. The main focus in this area is the World Heritage Site of Ngorongoro Crater. The Crater is truly a one of a kind experience. Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and home to the highest density of big game in Africa, including all the Big Five (Lion, Buffalo, Leopard, Rhino and Elephant) and plenty of predators. This conservation area is your best chance of seeing the highly endangered Black Rhino. The Crater was formed when a large volcano exploded and collapsed millions of years ago leaving behind one of the greatest wonders on earth. A Northern Tanzania Safari would not be complete without visiting Ngorongoro Crater: it is one of the most beautiful natural wildlife Safari sites in the world.
