The guiding

Every field guide is Maasai, licensed, and from a community bordering the park you are driving into.

The vehicle

One Land Cruiser per party. Six guests against seven seats, so nobody sits in the middle.

The trip

Eight starting points, one to eight days — and every one of them is yours to rebuild.

Why Maasai-guided

A hiring decision, not a theme.

Our guides grew up moving livestock through country where losing an animal to a lion is a household event. That produces a particular quality of attention.

Every guide holds current Tanzanian professional certification and a valid first-aid qualification, renewed annually at our cost. Most worked the northern circuit for a decade before joining us.

They are not cultural content on your itinerary. There is no dress-up and nothing staged. They are professional field guides who happen to be among the best-placed people in Tanzania to do this work.

Featured safaris

Three of the eight. All of them adjustable.

A herd of zebra grazing on the Serengeti's short-grass plains, scattered acacia and a low tree line under a wide sky.

3 days Short trip

One region, no wasted mileage. The fastest honest way into the central Serengeti.

Wildebeest crossing the Mara River in a dense column, dust rising off the far bank where a long line of safari vehicles waits and watches.

5 days Flagship

5-Day Great Migration Safari

We move to wherever the herds actually are. Four nights inside the migration, not near it.

US$2,480From, per person View itinerary →

The Ngorongoro highlands seen across a crater-floor lake, a dense bank of cloud spilling over the rim like a waterfall and green marsh grass lining the shore.

7 days Premium

The full northern circuit, unhurried: two nights on the rim, a crater morning, Oldupai, and three nights in the Serengeti.

From our guests

What people say afterwards

On the second morning our guide stopped, pointed at nothing we could see, and said “wait.” Twenty minutes later a cheetah walked out of the grass with three cubs behind her.
Marianne H. · Copenhagen · 5-Day Great Migration
We asked to swap a day and add a night. It was re-costed the same afternoon, with no fuss and no fee.
Dana R. · Chicago · 7-Day Grand Safari
Six of us, one vehicle, and everybody had a window. It was the difference between watching a safari and being on one.
Yusuf A. · Dubai · 3-Day Serengeti Explorer

Tell us the month. We will tell you where the animals will be.
