What Our Customers Say
Read our customer reviews on TrustPilot.
Brilliant Africa are absolutely incredible and I couldn't recommend them more. From day 1 they were unbelievably helpful in planning our honeymoon trip to Tanzania, and was always on hand to offer advice and more than happy to make changes to the trips based on our preferences. The trip itself was magical, and all of the hotels/experiences recommended by Brilliant were world class. They even go the extra mile by setting up a Whatsapp group for your time away in which you can ask any questions/express any concerns, and the team were always on the ball to help us out. We had the most amazing experience and are so grateful to Brilliant for making it happen.

What is Luxury in Tanzania?
Luxury Accommodation
It's 6am. You're handed a freshly brewed coffee. Orange streaks cover the sky towards the horizon as the sun climbs higher. You've got a full day of safari ahead of you.
Tanzania is one of Africa's most popular safari destinations, and there is no shortage of exceptional accommodation here.
Picture a private veranda overlooking a verdant clearing. A private pool just a few hundred metres from a group of elephants. A whisky or wine around the campfire in middle of Africa's wildest wilderness areas.
Itineraries Tailored To You
Luxury adventures in Tanzania can take you to the far corners of the country.
Our aim is to help travellers explore as much of Tanzania as possible. We want people to consider the whole picture, to stab a finger at the furthest corner of the map and ask - what can I do there?
You can include all the highlights whilst also getting off the beaten path to gain a much richer understanding of Tanzania and what is has to offer. Everything can be designed to match your interests and travel preferences, accentuating what you love whilst avoiding any of your travel pet peeves.
Tented Camps & Glamping
In many of the national parks and conservation areas, you can find luxury and mid-range tented camps. These put you closer to nature, whilst retaining all the amenities and creature comforts you want on a safari.
Many of these camps move month by month to follow the Great Migration.
