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.

We'll talk about what your dream African adventure looks like, how much time you have, and your budget.
We'll discuss any places to go or things to do that you've already got in mind and send you a few suggestions of our own.
When you've decided what you want to see and do, we'll put together the perfect itinerary that covers all the destinations you're most excited about, and moves at just the right pace. We'll select the accommodations that are right for you, and we'll make any adjustments until you're confident it's the perfect itinerary for you.
When you're happy with your trip and the cost, we'll get your adventure set up, make all the bookings and reservations, and provide all the pre-travel information you need.
Once you're on the ground in Africa, we'll be here to look after you every step of the way.
