Serengeti, crater & coast
Tailor-made Tanzania tours
Discover the Great Migration, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar.
Why travel here
Discover Tanzania
Tanzania combines some of Africa's most celebrated wildlife areas with mountains, remote southern parks and the Indian Ocean. The northern circuit links the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire, with Mount Kilimanjaro offering a very different kind of adventure.
The Great Migration moves through the wider Serengeti ecosystem throughout the year, so the best place to stay depends on your travel dates rather than one fixed migration season. Further south, Nyerere and Ruaha reward travellers looking for quieter landscapes, walking safaris and river-based activities.
A Tanzania safari pairs naturally with Zanzibar. We can bring together game drives, flights, guides and beach stays into one itinerary, with accommodation ranging from mobile tented camps to relaxed coastal retreats.

Best time to visit
June to October offers reliable dry-season safari conditions, while December to February is excellent for calving in the southern Serengeti and a Zanzibar extension. The migration moves year-round, so the best area depends on your dates.
