Where Tanzania becomes unforgettable.

The Serengeti is vast enough that two travellers can have entirely different experiences of it in the same week. The difference is where you stay, who guides you, and whether you are free to stay out when the light turns.

Every Signature Tanzania journey here is private: your own vehicle, your own guide, and camps chosen for their position rather than their marketing.

December to March the herds are on the southern short-grass plains for calving. From July to October the northern Serengeti and the Mara River hold the crossings.

We design your route backwards from the herds' expected position in your travel month — and give you the time to wait, rather than to chase.

The resident wildlife is exceptional year-round: lion prides on the Seronera kopjes, cheetah on the open plains and leopard along the river lines.

Balloon flights at sunrise, walking safaris in private concessions, photographic guiding and quiet bush dinners all fit naturally into the days.

A short flight separates the plains from the Indian Ocean, which is why so many journeys finish on the coast. Five or six nights on Zanzibar is usually the right amount of slow.

June to October is dry, clear and reliable. December to March is green, dramatic and quieter, with calving on the southern plains.

Tell us your dates and we will tell you honestly what the Serengeti is likely to be doing.
