Sandwiched between Kenya and Mozambique, and full to the brim with famous parks and resident wildife, Tanzania is made for self-drive adventures. Tanzania road trips have a little bit of everything thrown in: visit the Arusha, Tarangire and Serengeti parks; head to the numerous lakes including Manyara, Tarangire, Victoria, and the crystal clear waters of Tanganyika (great for snorkelling) and, of course, take in the majestic silhouette of Kilimanjaro. If all of this great exploration isn't enough on your road trip through Tanzania, you've also got idyllic beaches and islands to take a break away from it all. The white sands of the Zanzibar archipelago are practically made for some post-safari RnR, whereas the oceans surrounding the Spice Islands are heaven for divers.

"We had a wonderful time! Our guide was amazing - he really did make sure we had the best experience and animal sightings. The Tarangire Park was especially brilliant, but we loved them all as they were all so different. We all thoroughly enjoyed the night safari - we saw lots and it was a great experience. The accommodation was great and the welcome we had at each camp was fabulous. We have had a really wonderful holiday. Thank you so much for another great trip. "

"Excellent balancing of days spent on the right locations, matching our expectations in terms of quality and strategic location. Bakari the Concierge was very responsive and helped us organise a last minute day activity in Stone Town. Our safari driver/guides were simply outstanding and made a difference when spotting animals in the national parks. We loved our complimentary honeymoon dinner on the beach organised by you, thanks again!"

"We had the most amazing time in Tanzania, it really was so special, thank you so much for organising such an amazing trip. Jabali ridge was incredibly special. They went above and beyond to look after us and it definitely will remain one of my favourite places I’ve been. I really can’t say better things about the hotel and the staff. The chef was truly incredible and so considerate about all of our requests. Zanzibar was also beautiful, and the staff again were just impeccable. Hotel was stunning and it was all round an amazing week. Thank you so much for organising our sunset dhow, it was such a treat and was a highlight of the trip. Really appreciate all your help and thanks again for the best holiday. "
