We have set itineraries for safaris,
or you can take one of our safaris and customize it to your heart’s content,
or we will happily custom design a safari entirely from scratch with you.
Whichever way you want to plan, browse the available itineraries below to discover places you would like to see. Some safaris have several options and/or vary where they go depending on the time of year and the location of the Great Migration. Because the Great Migration is one of the biggest reasons people come to Northern Tanzania, we have some safaris that directly follow the path of the Great Migration, and so will be in different locations within the Serengeti at different times of the year. All itineraries are guaranteed to be memorable!
