More than almost any other destination, Tanzania is the land of safaris. Wildebeest stampede across the plains, hippos jostle for space in muddy waterways, elephants wander along seasonal migration routes and chimpanzees swing through the treetops. Throughout the country there are unparalleled opportunities to experience this natural wealth: and hold your breath while lions pad around your vehicle.

Serengeti

Where you pinch yourself as you watch Lions stalk the endless herds of wildebeest, zebras moving on the never ending journey for new grass and you marvel at the sight of Giraffes as they wander as the sun sets across the giant plain. There is no other place like it that captivates with its sights, scents and sounds. A magical place like no other.

We have had a long standing friendship partnership with Unambwe Kaaya which benefits this community. The Peace Matunda Orphanage and School has been an integral part of our partnership and support. The friendships that have formed over the last 17 years continue to strengthen, grow and benefit many of the children, women and families of this community.

This unique partnership provides a safe base to experience an african community under the gaze of Mt Meru (Kilimanjaro’s little brother) and see firsthand how a community functions. This experience is truly immersed in African life as much as you want.

Furthermore the unique partnership with Maasai clan of Gelai Bomba under the gaze of Mount Lengai, a trip highlight for many. You’ll get a ‘real life taster’ of what daily life is like in an authentic and very remote Maasai community.

Mt Kilimanjaro

Sending its shadow across Tanzania's northern plains, Mt Kilimanjaro beckons visitors with its stately snow-capped summit. It is Africa's highest peak at 5,895 metres and the world's highest free-standing volcano and can be viewed from the village on clear days..

Many climbers venture here to challenge themselves on its muddy slopes, rocky trails and slippery scree. The rewards: the thrill of standing at the top of Africa; magnificent views of Kilimanjaro's ice fields; and witnessing sunrise illuminating the plains far below.

We arrange with Kaaya and the team from the village who are highly experienced and regularly lead many to this climb and support many travellers to summit this iconic landmark. This is normally a 6 day climb with a big support crew to help you achieve your goal.

Tanzania’s Indian Ocean coastline is magical, with tranquil islands and sleepy coastal villages steeped in centuries of Swahili culture – this East African coast was the seat of sultans and a linchpin in a far-flung trading network extending to Persia, India and beyond. Relax on powdery beaches backed by palm trees and massive baobabs; take in magnificent, pastel-hued sunrises; immerse yourself in languid coastal rhythms; and sit beneath the billowing sails of a wooden dhow, listening to the creaking of its rigging and the gentle slap of the sea against its prow.

Zanzibar

The allure of Zanzibar is timeless. White sands and turquoise waters ring the island, and African, Indian, Arabic and Persian influences intertwine in Stone Town to form a rich cultural backdrop. One of most the iconic islands of the world and history.

Intense natural beauty – iridescent seas, jade jungles and crystal waterfalls – this is a humble place, devoid of mega-resorts and flashy attractions, but with welcomes as warm as the island sun.

This small nation is considered the heart of Polynesia for many. Though the missionaries were enormously influential, the country has nevertheless clung to Fa’a Samoa (the Samoan Way), making it one of the most authentic and traditional of all Pacific societies: in some parts of the islands you’re more likely to see someone juggling fire than a house with walls. Despite its isolation, Samoa offers accessible adventures you’ll find a paradise that is safe, sweet and easy to get around.

Dazzling sands, perfect palm trees and waters so blue they glow – Fiji’s beaches look airbrushed, these beaches are the poster-child for paradise, luring many keen to discover their own South Sea idyll.

The appeal of the islands stretches beyond holiday snaps; the reefs, bays and sublime sands have provided cinematic eye candy to films including Cast Away with Tom Hanks and 1980 teen-dream classic The Blue Lagoon.
