Bush & Beach – one of the most alluring holiday combinations imaginable, with the varying pleasures of safari and seaside in one neat package. Even then there’s a way to improve on perfection – doing the whole thing in perfect privacy.
At the risk of sounding a little, well, snooty, some safari lodges' insistence on round table collective dining - while admirable in principle - can become a little jading after a while. The solution? Go somewhere where you have the whole place to yourselves, hire a private lodge.
While that might seem a little extravagant if you're travelling a deux, if you're travelling as a family or group of friends then this could well be an option worth considering. We know private safari lodges and beachfront villas across Tanzania where you can do what you want, when you want, and enjoy the best this very special country has to offer from the comfort of your fully catered and staffed residence. Sounds pretty perfect? We think so.
