If you'd like to go on a safari of a lifetime,
but you don't want to rough it, come safari
with us. We'll show you hospitality and accommodations
worthy of royalty. From sumptuous food, to breathtaking
views of exquisite animals. We know how to spoil
you.
We have the best staff ranging from our main
office in United States to our seasoned guides
in the plains of the Serengeti. As a Tanzania
safari operator we utilize our guides full time,
and we do honestly believe that they are the
in the business. Born and raised in Tanzania,
all our guides have worked hard to reach the
position of guide. It is a position coveted
by many in Tanzania, but it takes a special
person to have all the senses necessary to be
a great guide. All of them are trained naturalists,
environmentalists and magnificent game spotters.
In addition to luxurious pools, a variety of
restaurants and shops, we will keep you connected
to back home if you so desire. Just because
you're in Africa doesn't mean you can't have
high speed internet access. With all the fabulous
pictures you'll be taking, surely you'll want
to email them to your friends back home. It's
easy, just jump on one of our computers. If
you don't know how, one of our knowledgeable
staff members will be glad to help.
