Alongside Kenya, Tanzania offers the finest opportunity to enjoy a ‘bush and beach’ experience in East Africa, and as such luxury Tanzania holidays are one of the great bucket list experiences. If we talk ‘bush’ first, Tanzania is famous for hosting some of the world’s most famous safari destinations and experiences, with the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti’s wildebeest migration as the obvious two. We work with the best lodges to take your experience to the next level, but for a truly luxury Tanzania safari experience, we can arrange for you to follow the migration with a mobile camp, so you get to see the spectacle and drama of millions of wildebeest (and attendant predators) moving across these massive plains play out over a number of days. Another seriously exclusive luxury Tanzania safari experience is to visit Mahale on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, where you can trek with a guide to spend the day with a troop of habituated chimpanzees. An experience possible almost nowhere else on the planet. After this surfeit of safari, it’s time for the ‘beach’ element of your luxury Tanzania holidays. Head to the coast or the Spice Islands such as Pemba and, of course, Zanzibar, and you can stay in luxurious beachfront hotels or beautiful villas (ideal for a 3G or three-generational holiday) and enjoy some well-earned R&R or luxurious sunset dhow cruises, snorkelling and kitesurfing.

"The trip was very well thought out. We were all first-time travelers to Tanzania and new to safaris, and the way the trip was organized meant that we were eased into the safari experience in a very comfortable way. We dipped our toes in at our first location, and the trip ended with a bang in a beautiful rustic camp. Issaya, our first guide, really made the trip amazing - he was so knowledgeable and we had total trust in him. "

"All of the camps were clean, the food was incredible all week, and we always felt very safe. The safari providers were so knowledgeable: both guides were excellent in their knowledge of the animals, birds, plants, landscapes and local culture. Their ability to find animals in the bush was almost unbelievable. This was our first safari, and the trip exceeded all of our expectations - there was at least one memorable moment every single day."

The wild and varied national parks of this captivating coastal nation have a special magic felt by locals and foreigners alike, not least because of their varied character. The renowned Serengeti National Park hosts the lion’s share of the spectacular wildebeest migration, which is the largest herd movement of animals on the planet; the wonderfully diverse Lake Manyara National Park is home to the famous tree-climbing lions, as well as an array of exquisite birdlife; and the illustrious Ngorongoro Crater is a haven for Africa’s notorious ‘Big 5’ - lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalos. An experienced and passionate private guide is at your side every second of the way, meaning a safari trip on one of our Tanzania luxury holidays can be enjoyed with true peace of mind.


After experiencing the unforgettable thrill of bounding through the savannah on safari, it’s high time for a spot of R&R on the paradisical archipelago of Zanzibar. Renowned for its historic trading of nutmeg, cinnamon and cardamon, the scenic ‘Spice Islands’ are bursting at the seams with luxurious experiences. You can spend your mornings soaking in the culture found on the curious medina-style streets of the ancient Stone Town with an expert private guide; your afternoons enjoying a relaxing massage near the celestial turquoise waters of the pristine beaches; and your evenings tucking into some immaculately prepared local seafood dishes with your toes in the sand. Our hand-crafted Tanzania luxury holidays let you discover both the bush and the beach in the utmost luxury.
