Northern circuit
Serengeti
Endless plains, resident prides and the migration's yearly turn. Where you stay matters more than how long you stay.
Year-round, routed by herd movement

Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda Safari Destinations
We travel Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda: grass plains and a collapsed volcano, baobab valleys and an Indian Ocean archipelago, the Masai Mara and Mount Kenya, and the forests of Bwindi where the mountain gorillas live.
Conservation area
Ngorongoro
A collapsed caldera holding its own ecosystem. We time the descent early, before the crater floor fills with vehicles.
Best June – October
Explore Ngorongoro
Northern circuit
Tarangire
Baobab country and the largest elephant herds in the north, quiet enough that a sighting still feels private.
Best July – October
Explore Tarangire
Northern highlands
Kilimanjaro
Africa's roof, approached on routes chosen for acclimatisation rather than speed. Meru makes a fine warm-up.
Jan – Mar, Jun – Oct
Explore Kilimanjaro
Coast & islands
Zanzibar
Dhow sails, spice farms and reef water. The natural close to a safari, or a week of its own.
Best June – February
Explore Zanzibar
Home base
Arusha
Our town. Coffee farms below Mount Meru, the market, and the office where your itinerary is drawn.
Year-round

Kenya
Masai Mara
The Serengeti does not stop at the border. The Mara is where the herds arrive, and where the crossings are watched from the Kenyan bank.
July to October for crossings, year-round for cats
Explore Masai Mara
Kenya
Mount Kenya & Nairobi
Mount Kenya's Point Lenana on foot, and Nairobi read properly — museums, markets, the elephant nursery and the Karen hills.
January to March and July to October for climbing
Explore Mount Kenya & Nairobi
Uganda
Uganda
Gorilla trekking in Bwindi and Mgahinga — steep forest, a permit in your name, and sixty minutes with a habituated family.
June to September and December to February
