All safari activities
Game drives
The heart of every safari: a private 4x4 with a pop-up roof, your own guide, and the whole day to follow the wildlife.
Birdwatching
More than 1,100 species, dozens of endemics, and guides who find most birds by ear. Our speciality.
Walking safaris and nature walks
Leave the vehicle behind. Walk with a ranger to a waterfall, across the plains, or into Eastern Arc forest.
Canoeing on the Momella Lakes
A quiet paddle past flamingos and hippos, with Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro on the skyline.
Ngorongoro Crater floor game drive
Six hours on the floor of the world’s largest intact caldera, with lions, rhino and 25,000 animals in view.

Drift over the plains at sunrise, then land to a champagne breakfast in the bush.
Chimpanzee trekking
Follow trackers into the forest above Lake Tanganyika and spend an hour with wild chimpanzees.
