About us
Tanzania
specialists.
A founder-led team planning thoughtful, tailor-made safaris with personal service from the first conversation to the journey home.
Our story
It began
in Africa.
A founder-led, UK-based team planning personal journeys through Tanzania’s parks, wilderness areas and islands.
We take time to understand how you like to travel before recommending a route. The Serengeti can be extraordinary in every season, but the best camp for your dates depends on where the wildlife may be, how much time you have and what you want from the rest of the journey.
We compare guiding, location, room style, access and cost together. That might mean a small mobile camp on the plains, a slower stay in Ruaha, or an island hotel where the beach and tides suit you. Every stop needs to earn its place.

How we work
Start with a conversation
Tell us your dates, interests, travelling companions and an approximate budget. We will discuss the possibilities before building a route.
Make every stop count
We explain why each park, camp and connection suits your journey, including the seasonal trade-offs and the time needed to travel between them.
Stay close throughout
We handle the details before departure and remain available while you travel. Your proposal spells out inclusions, exclusions and the full cost clearly.
Our planning advice comes at no additional charge. We work with the lodges and hotels we recommend and aim to offer pricing comparable to booking direct.
