Tanzania, in full
journeys that move with the wild
We operate across all of Tanzania's national parks and conservation areas, with no fixed circuit and no concession ties. Routes are built around what is actually happening on the ground, combining well-known areas with places that see far fewer vehicles.
THE SERENGETI
Best time: Year-round. Peak migration: June to October (north). Calving season: January to March (south, Ndutu).
The Serengeti is where the wildebeest migration reaches its most dramatic. In the north, from June onwards, vast herds cross the Mara River in their thousands, often in the same spot, day after day. In the southern Serengeti and Ndutu, January to March brings the calving season, with hundreds of thousands of calves born across the short-grass plains.
Because we move between locations, a single Okozi journey can follow the migration as it shifts north, rather than being fixed to one camp position throughout.
TARANGIRE
Best time: June to November (dry season)
During the dry season, the Tarangire River becomes the only permanent water source for hundreds of kilometers. Elephants gather in numbers rarely seen elsewhere in Africa, alongside lions, leopard, wild dog, and huge flocks of migratory birds. The landscape itself is characterized by ancient baobabs and dry riverbed.
Tarangire pairs well with time in the Serengeti, or the Southern Highlands.
RUAHA & THE SOUTH
Best time: June to October
Ruaha is Tanzania's largest national park and one of the least visited. Large elephant herds, exceptional lion and leopard density, and an almost complete absence of other vehicles. The landscape is wild and rugged in a way that feels genuinely remote.
Nyerere (formerly Selous) and Katavi extend the southern and western circuit for those who want to get further from the usual routes entirely.
THE YAEDA VALLEY
Best time: Year-round
The Yaeda Valley sits in the shadow of the Rift Valley escarpment in central Tanzania, home to the Hadzabe, one of the last hunter-gatherer communities on earth.
We have been coming to the Yaeda Valley for generations and have built real relationships with the community over time. Because of this, guests are welcomed into a hunt, or can stay back and spend time with the women and children, learning how food is gathered and how tools are made. We pair this with fly-camping in the surrounding bush: no lodges, no other vehicles, and none of the infrastructure that follows most travellers into the wild.
