PRICING
SAFARI PRICE
is ultimately determined by the Size of the Group, the Number of Days, and the "Style" of the Safari, type of guide, fly camping, etc. with the figure typically higher the more time spent "under canvas."

ITINERARIES
Most  safaris focus on TANZANIA'S NORTHERN CIRCUIT -- spanning the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara NP, Tarangire NP, Arusha NP, Lake Eyasi, and Lake Victoria. With the exception of Tarangire National Park (best June-December), all areas are good throughout the season. Deluxe, mobile-tented camps are our private home during stays at Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks. If the Ngorongoro Crater is on the itinerary, we will put in at one of the spectacular lodges on the Crater Rim (a nice change of pace). Lake Manyara is on the main track, so when done, it's usually as a part-day game drive. Grumeti River (Kirawira Camp) in the western corridor of the Serengeti and Lake Victoria (private lodge) are more remote and less-traveled and are worked into itineraries from time to time.
Arusha NP is often added at the beginning of a safari offering a breathtaking introduction to a region that is unlike any other on Earth.

A notable highlight is the chance to spend time at remote Lake Eyasi (private tented camp) and interact with members of the Hadzabe Tribe and other Bushmen (They have their own click language) -- an extraordinary experience, particularly for children.

EXCLUSIVENESS is a key part of our safaris and refers to the ABILITY TO TRAVEL IN VERY REMOTE AREAS that few others are able to access --AREAS WHERE YOU WILL HARDLY SEE ANYONE ELSE These are private properties as well as private concessions run together with the Masai, where you have the opportunity to do things that you cannot do in the parks, such as walking safaris, night game drives, fly camping, and have more intimate and meaningful wildlife and cultural interactions.

Safaris in TANZANIA'S SOUTHERN CIRCUIT --- spanning Ruaha NP, Katavi NP, Mahale Mountains NP, and the Selous Game Reserve ---are less frequent as the areas are seasonal, quite remote, and, historically, difficult to access. For these reasons, they seldom appear on the typical safari itinerary. Yet, Ruaha, Katavi, and especially the Selous are immense and home to some of the most dense concentrations of wildlife found anywhere on the Continent. And Mahale is home to the world's largest population of chimpanzees. These are rougher, more adventurous safari experiences. We make use of local accommodations which, though few, are excellent. Best time to visit is between June and November.

NOTE: The Circuits are normally done separately; however, with much improved in-country air service, it is now possible to creat a number of intriguing combinations, e.g. the Serengeti and Crater together with Ruaha, Katavi, and/or the Selous,

EXTENSIONS
(Please Note: The safari is the prime experience and, at its best, should cover 11-15 days on the ground. This
is enough to fill your plate and then some. However, if you are looking to do something in addition, there are several options to choose from.
Here are some examples:
