01 Serengeti Migration Safari Safari · 6 days Six days following the Great Migration across the central and northern Serengeti — timed to whichever stretch of the circuit the herds are moving through when you travel, not a fixed loop.

04/ Where we go

01 The migration moves through different parts of the park across the year — south for the calving season, west and north as the herds chase the rains. Which sector we base you in depends entirely on when you're travelling. Great Migration Big cat density Balloon safaris See Serengeti trips Serengeti Northern Tanzania

02 A 260 km² caldera floor holding one of the densest concentrations of wildlife anywhere in Africa, close enough together that a single descent covers lion, elephant, and — with some luck — black rhino in one loop. Big Five in one loop Rim-lodge stays 2-day descent option See Ngorongoro trips Ngorongoro Crater Northern Tanzania

03 Five climate zones between the gate and the summit — rainforest, moorland, alpine desert, and glacier — which is why the route and the number of acclimatisation days matter more here than on almost any other trek. Machame route Summit success protocol Full porter crew See Kilimanjaro treks Kilimanjaro Northern Tanzania

04 Stone Town's alleys and spice farms on one side of the island, reef-fringed beaches on the other — close enough to combine both without losing a day to transfers. Stone Town walks Reef snorkelling Sunset dhow sails See Zanzibar trips Zanzibar Indian Ocean Coast

05 Africa's largest protected game reserve, and one of its emptiest — boat safaris up the Rufiji, on-foot game tracking with armed rangers, and a real chance of an entire day without seeing another vehicle. Rufiji River boat safaris Walking safaris with armed rangers Virtually no other vehicles See Selous trips Selous / Nyerere Southern Tanzania

06 Tanzania's largest national park and one of its wildest — the Great Ruaha River corridor holds some of the country's densest elephant herds and its most consistent lion sightings, with almost none of the traffic of the northern parks. Tanzania's largest national park Exceptional lion prides Great Ruaha River wildlife corridor See Ruaha trips Ruaha Southern Tanzania

07 An hour with a habituated mountain gorilla family in the Virunga volcanic forest — the single trip that defines a Rwanda itinerary, with golden monkey trekking and the Dian Fossey research legacy alongside it. Mountain gorilla trekking Golden monkey trekking Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund campus nearby See gorilla trekking trips Volcanoes National Park Rwanda, Virunga Mountains

08 Ancient equatorial rainforest holding roughly half the world's remaining mountain gorillas — the anchor stop on any Uganda primate circuit, usually paired with Kibale's chimpanzees and the tree-climbing lions of Queen Elizabeth. Roughly half the world's mountain gorillas Ancient equatorial rainforest Pairs naturally with Kibale and Queen Elizabeth See Uganda primate trips Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Southwestern Uganda

09 Ancient baobabs and the densest elephant concentrations on the Northern Circuit, drawn in by the Tarangire River through the long dry season — often the most game-rich single day of a first safari. Highest elephant density on the circuit Iconic baobab landscape Strong dry-season birdlife See Tarangire trips Tarangire Northern Tanzania

10 A compact park along the base of the Rift Valley escarpment — alkaline lake, flamingo flocks, a shaded groundwater forest, and the tree-climbing lions the park is known for. Tree-climbing lions Flamingos on the alkaline lake Rift Valley escarpment scenery See Lake Manyara trips Lake Manyara Northern Tanzania

11 The "Cradle of Mankind" — a ravine on the edge of the Serengeti plains where the Leakey family's excavations uncovered some of the earliest evidence of human evolution. A natural stop between Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. Major human-evolution excavation site On-site museum Sits directly on the Ngorongorou2013Serengeti route Ask about adding this stop Olduvai Gorge Ngorongoro Conservation Area

12 The gateway to the Northern Circuit — most safaris start and end here. A working city with a genuine coffee-growing region on its doorstep, not just an airport stopover. Gateway to Northern Circuit safaris Coffee farm day trips Cultural heritage centre and markets See Arusha stopovers Arusha City Northern Tanzania

13 Zanzibar's quieter, wilder sibling to the south — a marine park with some of the best whale shark snorkelling on the East African coast, and a fraction of the visitors. Whale shark snorkelling (Octu2013Mar) Marine park reef diving A fraction of Zanzibar's crowds See Mafia Island trips Mafia Island Indian Ocean Coast

14 A shallow soda lake at the base of the Rift Valley escarpment, and home to the Hadzabe — one of the last hunter-gatherer communities left on earth, still hunting with bow and arrow much as they always have. Morning hunt with Hadzabe hunter-gatherers Datoga blacksmith villages nearby Far fewer visitors than the main circuit See Lake Eyasi cultural trips Lake Eyasi Northern Tanzania

15 A single small town where more than 120 tribes live side by side, at the crossroads between Lake Manyara and the rest of the Northern Circuit — a genuine cultural stop, not a staged one. Over 120 tribes in one small town Local market and banana-beer brewing visits Bike tours through farmland See Mto wa Mbu stopovers Mto wa Mbu Northern Tanzania

16 A forested island national park in Lake Victoria, reachable only by light aircraft or boat — sitatunga antelope, fish eagles, and a small population of chimpanzees introduced decades ago and now thriving. Chimpanzee tracking on foot Sitatunga antelope and fish eagles Genuinely remote u2014 fly-in only See Rubondo Island trips Rubondo Island Western Tanzania

17 Wild chimpanzees on the shore of Lake Tanganyika — no roads reach it, so every trip starts with a boat ride, then a walk into the forest to find one of the last truly wild chimp populations left. Wild chimpanzee trekking Lake Tanganyika beaches, no roads in Among the most remote parks in Africa See Mahale Mountains trips Mahale Mountains Western Tanzania

“Every detail was handled before we thought to ask. The kind of trip you replay in your head for years.”

S. Whitfield — Serengeti Migration Safari

“Our guide read the group perfectly — pushed us on the summit push, slowed down for my daughter on the lower slopes.”

A. Njoroge — Kilimanjaro — Machame Route

“Zanzibar after ten days on safari was exactly the right close. Nothing felt bolted on.”

R. Larsen — Zanzibar — Stone Town & Coast
