Smaller camps in better locations, a private vehicle, flexible days and fewer hours on the road. What actually changes at luxury and ultra comfort levels, and what stays the same.
Serengeti and 3 more
The same parks and game drives as any Tanzania safari, staying in comfortable lodges and tented camps. An honest look at what comfort level includes, where the trade-offs are and how to make the most of it.

A safari for two: unhurried days, a private vehicle, small camps with space of your own and, for many couples, a slow finish on a Zanzibar beach.

Serengeti and 3 more
A safari planned around the wildebeest and zebra herds of the Serengeti ecosystem, timed to where they usually are in your month. The pattern repeats each year, but it varies with the rains.

Ngorongoro Crater and 4 more
Time with the people of northern Tanzania, where arranged: Hadzabe and Datoga communities at Lake Eyasi, Maasai villages, market towns like Mto wa Mbu and the old streets of Stone Town.

A few slow days on Zanzibar after safari: Stone Town, white-sand beaches and coral reefs, a short flight from Arusha. A beach stay, not a safari, and a good way to end the trip.
Zanzibar
