01 — Who we are
Explore Tanzania with Expert Guides
Tanzania offers some of Africa’s finest wildlife viewing: the Big Five in the Ngorongoro Crater, the Great Migration on the Serengeti plains, Tarangire’s elephant herds, and wilder country in Ruaha, Nyerere, and Mahale. We are a team of Tanzania specialists based in Arusha, designing private Tanzania wildlife safaris for families, couples and wildlife enthusiasts.
Whether you’re exploring the iconic savannahs of the Serengeti, Tarangire, or Ngorongoro Crater, or relaxing on the beautiful beaches and coral reefs of Zanzibar, each safari experience is sure to be unforgettable.
And if you’re looking for something a bit different, there are some fantastic hidden gems to check out! Consider chimpanzee trekking in the breathtaking rainforests of Mahale, or enjoy peaceful game viewing in the unique, lovely landscapes of Nyerere (formerly Selous) and Ruaha.
Each journey we design is entirely private: there are no shared vehicles and no set departure dates. From the calving grounds of the southern Serengeti to the excitement of a Mara River crossing, we ensure you are positioned exactly where the action is, precisely when it matters.

I.
Based in Tanzania
Our guides grew up in these landscapes. They know where the lions den in February, where the elephants drink at dusk, and which camp puts your children closest to the action safely.

From your first enquiry to the moment you land home, you have a dedicated EWT contact, reachable by phone and WhatsApp, around the clock. Your peace of mind travels with you.
Tanzania is a dream destination from the classic, sweeping savannah of the Serengeti to the flamingo-lined shores of Lake Manyara, world wonders Ngorongoro Crater and Mount Kilimanjaro (Africa's highest mountain).

03 — The Great Migration
Great Migration safaris
The best time for a Great Migration safari depends on what you want to see. From January to March, the herds calve on the southern Serengeti plains around Ndutu; from July to October, they cross the Mara River in the northern Serengeti. More than 1.5 million wildebeest and around 200,000 zebra move in a continuous loop between the Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara, and because the rains shift their timing every year, we place your camps on our guides’ latest reports, not last year’s calendar.
Calving · Southern Serengeti & Ndutu, peaking in February (Jan–Mar)
Long rains · the herds move north through the central Serengeti (Apr–May)
Grumeti crossings · Western Corridor (Jun–Jul)
Mara River crossings · Northern Serengeti (Jul–Oct)
Return south · eastern Serengeti, back towards Ndutu (Nov–Dec)
Best on Kilimanjaro · the short dry season (Jan–Mar)
Best on Kilimanjaro · the long dry season (Jun–Oct)
04 — Family safaris
Family safaris in Tanzania
Tanzania is one of Africa’s best family safari destinations: the Big Five within a few hours of Arusha, manageable distances between Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, and camps that genuinely welcome children. Because every EWT safari is private, your family has its own vehicle and guide, so a game drive lasts exactly as long as your youngest is enjoying it.
Most families spend seven to ten days on safari, and many finish with a few days on a Zanzibar beach. Tell us your children’s ages, and we match every camp, drive and activity to them, including the minimum ages some camps set for walking safaris and balloon flights.
No shared vehicles. No set departures. No compromise.
05 — Where the wild things are
Where to go on a Tanzania wildlife safari.
On safari
The plains
The Serengeti’s 14,763 square kilometres of open savannah, where the Great Migration moves and lion, leopard and cheetah hunt year-round. The Ngorongoro Crater, the most reliable place in Tanzania to see all of the Big Five in a day. Tarangire’s elephant herds and baobabs, two hours from Arusha. And in the south, Ruaha and Nyerere, wilderness on a scale that is genuinely difficult to comprehend.
At 5,895 metres, Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest peak and the world’s tallest free-standing mountain. A climb here is one of the most rewarding physical challenges on the planet, and with EWT, your ascent is guided by some of the most experienced Kilimanjaro specialists in Arusha. We offer six routes, full private guiding, and summit success rates that consistently outperform the national average.
We stay close to the Northern Circuit rather than spreading thin across a continent, with combined journeys across the border into Kenya. Kenya & Tanzania
Our experience was once in a lifetime. Six of us friends traveled for six days in the company's jeep in the safari. The car had no breakdowns despite the poor road conditions and the large number of kilometers we drove. The guide, who was also our driver, was very professional. He stood on time and planned the routes in a smart and interesting way. He knew well where to take us so that we could see as many animals as possible. And indeed it was so. We saw a wide variety of animals. His English is very good and understandable. He explained and told us about what we saw and knew how to answer all the questions we asked, meaning his knowledge is broad and deep. Our guide's interpersonal communication is excellent. Highly recommend. Our guide is David.
It was wonderful and unforgettable ❤️🔥 thank you so much to David's team!
Our guide found the coolest viewpoints, was very attentive and polite 🤩
In these 4 days we saw a huge number of animals in three different parks, these emotions cannot be described in words, everyone needs to see it 🥰
I want to specifically mention the camps and lodges; they were at an incredibly high level of comfort. Super beautiful, super service and food quality ❤️🔥
We also received gifts from David - personalized thermoses. It was very nice, they were very useful to us 🤩
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! We will definitely come back again, this time with a group of friends.
When Is the Best Time to See the Great Wildebeest Migration?
January to March for calving in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu; July to October for the Mara River crossings in the northern Serengeti. The herds move with the rains, so we plan your dates and camps around where they are likely to be.
Tell us your dates, who is travelling and the kind of safari you have in mind. We design a private itinerary with a detailed quotation, then confirm your booking once you are happy with it.
How Much Does a Tanzania Safari Cost, and How Many Days Do I Need?
Cost depends on your camps, the season, park fees, group size and flights. Five to seven days covers Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti; eight to ten days gives you more time in the Serengeti. Every safari is priced individually.
What Are the Health and Visa Requirements for Visiting Tanzania?
Many visitors need a tourist visa, which you can apply for online through the official eVisa portal. Yellow fever rules depend on your route; see a travel health clinic about vaccinations and malaria, and travel with comprehensive insurance.
Early starts for the best wildlife activity, a bush lunch or a return to camp, more game viewing in the afternoon, and quiet evenings at your lodge. Tanzania offers excellent Big Five viewing, though no sighting can ever be guaranteed.
Is Tanzania a good destination for a family safari?
Yes. Tanzania is one of the easiest countries in Africa for a family safari: the Big Five are within a few hours of Arusha, distances between Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti are manageable, and many camps have family tents and children’s menus. On a private safari your family has its own vehicle and guide, so drives fit your children’s ages and energy. Seven to ten days suits most families.
Tell us who is travelling, when you want to go, and what you dream of seeing. We’ll handle everything else, from building your private itinerary to meeting you at Kilimanjaro International Airport.
