Where to go on safari in Tanzania
One country, endless safari worlds. From the northern circuit's iconic parks to the wild, uncrowded south and the beaches of the Indian Ocean — here's how it all fits together, and how we help you choose.

Speak to a specialistBeyond the north
The southern & western circuits
Tanzania's wilder, less-visited parks — for travellers who want the full picture, with fewer vehicles and a more expedition-style pace.
Mikumi
Nyerere National Park
Ruaha
Tanzania's second-largest national park, and its most genuinely remote major safari destination — baobab-studded, lion-dense, and still largely uncrowded.
The south rewards the curious traveller — fewer camps, fewer vehicles, and a quality of encounter the north rarely matches at peak season.
Plan a wild-south safariThe islands
Tanzania's islands
Every northern-circuit safari can end on the Indian Ocean. Tanzania has three distinct islands — each with a different character, a different pace.
Coast & Islands
Mafia Island
Tanzania's first marine park — a whale-shark stronghold, world-class diving on untouched reefs, and the quietest, most unhurried of the archipelago's islands.
Coast & Islands
Pemba Island
Zanzibar's quieter, greener sister island — the world's leading source of cloves, a serious diver's destination, and a place that still takes its own reputation for magic seriously.
Coast & Islands
Zanzibar
A different kind of chapter to close a Tanzania trip on — coral sand, a nine-hundred-year trading history, and a coastline with several genuinely distinct personalities of its own.
A message from Nelson Laizer · Founder
Tell us what you're imagining and we'll build it around you.
I grew up in Arusha, at the foot of Mount Meru, with Kilimanjaro visible on clear mornings. The guides who work with us have spent years in these parks — not as observers, but as people who understand how the bush moves. When guests ask me which park is best, I ask them a question back: what does a good day in the bush look like to you? That answer shapes everything. We don't sell packages — we design safaris around people.
“We don’t sell packages. We design safaris around people.”
