Tanzania
The sweeping plains of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater in the north offer the safari of drama and legend, whilst Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, needs little introduction and looms proudly with brightly snow-capped peaks. The spice island of Zanzibar tantalises with turquoise shades, white shimmering sands and UNESCO heritage, enhancing the kaleidoscopic variety of Tanzania, making it all the more alluring for any African safari enthusiast, or first-timer.
Tanzania is blessed with a variety of wildlife and attractions, from its more popular northern circuit that includes the famous Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater to the quieter and equally spectacular southern circuit of Selous and Ruaha. To the east, the tantalising paradise of Zanzibar boasts wonderful beaches and marine adventures. Combining the parks and attractions of this inspiring country creates an enticing blend of safari, wildlife and beach. The northern circuit highlights can be combined over one week and many will include the annual migration in the Serengeti National Park as well as the abundant wildlife of Ngorongoro Crater & Conservation Area, Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara, depending on seasonal game movements. The south’s attractions are generally perceived to be more off-the-beaten track and with fewer vehicles across the plains, adding to the authenticity.

Safari Lodge
Kimondo Migration Camp
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
Kimondo Migration Camp splits the year between two sites in the Serengeti, meaning guests are likely to see the Great Migration herds regardless of when they visit.
From July to October, you can watch the wildebeest thunder across the Mara River, risking being snapped up by lurking crocodiles. During the winter, they move to the lush southern Serengeti, where the wildebeest gather in their hundreds of thousands to calve and graze.

Ubuntu Migration Camp
Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
Ubuntu Migration Camp follows the colossal herds of wildebeest as they journey around the Serengeti, moving between three key sites. From the dramatic river crossings in the north to the fertile grasslands in the south where the wildebeest give birth, the camp is set up nearby to ensure you’re always close to the action.
The traditional tented camp is designed to leave no trace. They can quickly disassemble it and move with the herds to new pastures. Every day, they’re out in the bush looking for wildlife such as lions or cheetahs attracted by the huge gatherings of prey. Over morning coffee, watch wildebeest males chasing each other or zebras tussling. For a sunrise to remember, start the day by gliding above the plains in a hot-air balloon. In the evening, look up as the stars reveal themselves.
