We feel that 10 days on the ground in Tanzania is a minimum requirement for a safari. You need to factor in travel time to and from East Africa as well, so for some, 10 days on safari will mean almost 2 weeks away from home. If you're trip is a combination of Kenya and Tanzania, or you simply don't have the time for more than a week, we can show you our best areas in about 7 days - though you will certainly leave feeling that you could have done with a longer stay.

Safaris of two weeks duration in Tanzania are ideal and more than 75% of the trips we do are of this length. This allows for some recovery time from your international travel and the chance to visit several locations without finding your selves packing and traveling every other day.

3 week safaris are great if you have the time and allow for an in depth experience that includes a variety of activities for reasonable lengths of time. We arrange one or two of these each year and they often will include Zanzibar, a Kilimanjaro Climb or a lengthy walking trip, with a 10 day or 2 week safari to the National Parks.
