Experience a Legendary luxury African safari

The Tanzanian wilderness embodies True. Wild. Free. where the thundering herds of the Great Migration sweep the Serengeti plains, dazzling sunsets splash the skies, and baobabs stand like sentinels of time.

Our Tanzanian safaris are more than journeys. Deeply rooted in conservation, every safari with us is an invitation to answer the call of the wild and leave a legacy beyond your footprints.

Calving Season

In the southern Serengeti and Ndutu plains, over 500,000 wildebeest calves are born in just a few weeks, attracting predators in a dramatic display of life and survival. Best viewed from Songa Migrational Camp (south) and Mwiba Lodge in complete privacy.

Rutting Season

As the rains begin, the herds move northwest and males battle for dominance in loud, fierce clashes. The journey leads them to the Grumeti River, where crocodiles await. Stay close to the action at Mila Tented Camp.
