Africa + Indian Ocean

Tanzania

East Africa at its finest…

Sitting on a high kopje at sunset watching thousands of migrating wildebeest march across the vast Serengeti plain below you is one of life’s most extraordinary moments.

With a richly varied landscape and over a quarter of its area designated as protected reserves, as well as a strong commitment to developing tourism sustainably, Tanzania is possibly the greatest safari destination of all.

Its variety means that this is a country where we take special pride in our expertise, knowing that the advice of an insider will make all the difference between the merely good and the exceptional. Our Destination Experts will match you to the right camps, lodges and guides, and get you to the country’s hidden corners, away from the usual tourist track. As well as the Serengeti and the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, we can also open up the lesser-travelled, but equally inspiring south of the country.

For some post-safari relaxation, Tanzania’s islands offer pristine beaches and barefoot-luxury lodges. From the ever-popular Zanzibar to a new selection of private island retreats, we can ensure you end your trip in style.

Why should you travel with a specialist on safari?

Safari Seasons: When is Right For You?

Nature’s cycles and rhythms can vary dramatically depending on when you travel and nowhere is this more apparent than in Africa. Our Destination Experts, who have lived, worked and travelled extensively around Africa, can advise you where to go when.

Wild + Exhilarating Safari Experiences

When most think of safaris, they think game-drives. But in addition to those thrilling drives, there are so many other incredible ways to experience Africa. Here are just a handful of the awe-inspiring experiences we can arrange in Africa.

Three of our favourite conservation projects in Africa

Safari connects you to nature in such an instinctive way, as you are exploring wilderness areas that are untouched by man. In the bush, animals seem surprised to see you and life seems to work as it should: without human interference.

Where best to visit in Africa during the early summer months

Securing a safari in the early summer months can feel like you’ve been let in on a brilliant secret. At this time of year, many camps are newly reopened and are looking their best, having been refreshed and refurbished during the off-season.

Testimonials

Stories from Tanzania

"I'm so grateful to Henrietta Loyd for persuading me to take the children to Africa now."

Client

"We have just arrived home and we miss Africa already!"

Client

First, and most importantly, a massive, massive thanks to you for organising such a wonderful itinerary for us! We had a great time throughout. It was fantastic that clearly you knew all the places very well and it was obvious that a lot of thought went into giving us a very rounded experience. I don’t think I have any bad feedback to be honest. Too much food? I probably gained 5lb just on the back of the daily afternoon tea options! :) Zuri was dreamy and our room was amazing, with the private hot tub and hammock certainly a nice touch. Thank you very much again. We are very much hoping to travel with you or the wider cazenove+loyd team again.
