TANZANIA
Untamed Eastern Africa
Think of Tanzania, and you’re transported to the days of grand safaris, tented camps with tea service, old Range Rovers with open rooftops, and vast open skies with stars that twinkle brightly at night. The romance and adventure that were thought to be part of the past still exist in Tanzania, and when planned properly, can yield some of the most memorable travel you’d experience in Africa.
There’s a lot to see and do in this vast country. The obvious ones, like witnessing mass migrations, photographing the Big 5, or even climbing the (quite achievable) Mount Kilimanjaro, are easy checklist items. But when you really explore the country on a private tour, you get to see much more of the culture, and its people.
Private tours would allow you to get to know a small tribe of Barabaig people – known as shepherds and blacksmiths. Or stay with the Hadzabe people and observe their daily activities. Plus, your safari vehicle is all yours, with no elbowing for space to get that once-in-a-lifetime photograph of the lion backlit by the setting sun.
Travelling to Tanzania is simple enough, and easy to get around the country when you’re there. Accommodations run the gamut, but every comfort will be found and provided. Our on-the-ground local experts will make sure that your time in this fascinating country is filled with lifelong memories, and we’ll make sure you come home with images you’re proud of.
As always, the length of the journey is your call, since it is your private tour.

When to Travel to Tanzania
Given its location just south of the equator, Tanzania is one of those places that can truly be enjoyed at any time of the year. Depending on the type of photography you’re interested in would probably determine the best time of the year, however.
• The dry season, from July through September is the most popular time to visit. It coincides with the mass migration that takes place in the north. But with popularity comes crowds.
• The rainiest months are March through early May. Zanzibar would experience daily downpours. But enjoy lower prices, smaller crowds and excellent for bird watching.
• October through February are hot, but ideal temps for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Wildebeest are calving during these months, and flowers are in bloom.
