from the famous northern circuit to the untamed south, the far west, and the spice-scented coast — these are the places our travellers lose their hearts to. every one is somewhere we know intimately, and somewhere we'd happily return to ourselves. start dreaming; we'll handle the rest.
no country on earth packs more wilderness into its borders than tanzania. from the volcanic highlands of the north to the great miombo woodlands of the south, from the chimpanzee forests of the western lakeshore to the elephant floodplains of the central reserves — more than a fifth of the country is given over to wildlife, and the result is an archipelago of national parks unlike anything else in africa.
we've grouped tanzania's eleven safari destinations into three circuits — northern, southern and western — each with its own character, its own pace, its own cast. the northern circuit is the classic: serengeti, ngorongoro, tarangire — the parks that defined the african safari. the southern circuit is wilder, quieter, and far gentler on the budget. the western circuit is the least visited and the most extraordinary — africa's greatest chimpanzees, its second-deepest lake, its most untouched savannah.
the pages that follow are here to help you choose. read deeply, dream wildly, and then talk to us. every con bush safaris journey is built around your dates, your dreams, your budget. we design the journey — you live it.
