Big trees, big game and big landscapes - this is a really special safari destination and works perfectly as your first taste of the Tanzanian Northern Circuit. It can be done in two nights and is worth noting that the game viewing can be hard from November-April due to rains, it is, however, much quieter which is a real perk.

These southern plains are full of wildebeest and zebra from December through to March, as they settle on their migratory journey for a few months. With this comes vast numbers of predators and an action packed safari experience. We recommend at least 3 nights and you can fly in by light aircraft or drive from the Ngorongoro.

The jewel of the Indian Ocean and one of the world's most sought after beach destinations. There is a real variety in hotels but most are very high-end and this is reflected in the price. April, May, October and November are considered the best times to visit and the international airport is well-connected.

Much more than just a stopover, Nairobi is emerging as a destination in it's own right and has a lot to offer. From day trips to the giraffe sanctuary to some of Africa's top restaurants, we recommend a night here if possible to break up the safari. The international airport is the hub of East Africa.

Distinctively different to the Southern and Central plains of Africa's best known National Park. Rocky outcrops mark this area and the lodges take advantage of this with wonderful views. In June and October, this is the place to be for wildebeest river crossings and access is always by light aircraft.

Africa's largest game reserve has a wide variety of safari activities available and is a real hidden gem. From boat safaris to walking and game drives, you will not be left wanting. The reserve connects very well to Zanzibar and Ruaha National Park with light aircraft flights.
