No two safaris are the same – and in Northern Tanzania, that’s easy to understand why. The Serengeti alone could fill a week. Add Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire’s ancient baobab landscapes, and the flamingo-fringed shores of Lake Manyara, and you have one of the most diverse wildlife destinations on earth. We’ll help you put it all together.
Northern Tanzania is home to some of the most extraordinary wilderness on the planet. From the endless plains of the Serengeti and the wildlife-packed floor of Ngorongoro Crater, to the elephant-rich baobab landscapes of Tarangire and the flamingo-fringed shores of Lake Manyara, every destination offers something distinct. Further off the beaten path, Lake Natron, Lake Eyasi, and Mkomazi National Park reward curious travelers with raw, uncrowded wilderness and rare cultural encounters.
Kilimanjaro can be climbed six different ways – each route with its own character, scenery, and summit success rate. Add Mt Meru as a powerful acclimatisation trek or a destination in its own right, and you have two of Africa’s finest mountain experiences, right in our backyard. We’ve guided them all. Let us help you choose the right one.
We were in Taranguire, it was an incredible experience. We saw many zebras, elefants, girafs, gnus, leopards, cheetahs and many more. We saw also the king of animals. The guide was very friendly, knowing all the best spots in the parc.
We had a very good time on the way and during the Safari. We can highly recommend Philip!

A fantastic experience with Philip, we saw many animals, the best was the king Simba ! Philip is always looking for the best spots…if there are lions he will for sure find them! Corinne from Switzerland.
Great experience. Perfect organization and team.
Thanks to Philip who guided us up to the top of Africa..
In 2013 we climbed the Kilimanjaro. A special experience from the first to the last day. This is arranged down to the last detail by Philip Mbise. He knows what he is talking about and knows what he is doing. A must to never forget.
Philip is a wonderful man who will do everything he can to make your trip the best possible! I have been on a safari that Philip arranged for me and my family and I have recommended him to many of my friends who have visited Tanzania, and everyone has been truly grateful. Philip has become a friend of mine whom I appreciate very much. I also appreciate very much that he cares about the environment, and the working conditions for people he work with.
The Serengeti at sunrise. A leopard resting in an acacia tree. The vast floor of Ngorongoro Crater dotted with zebra and wildebeest as far as the eye can see. Kilimanjaro rising above the clouds. These are the kinds of moments that our guests experienced on our safaris.
Every safari and trek we plan is built around you — your timeline, your group, and what you most want to experience in Tanzania. Tell us a little about what you have in mind and Philip will personally put together an itinerary just for you.
