Tanzania is a big country and the main safari destinations can be split into the north (The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater) or the south (The Selous and Ruaha).

Most tourists flock to the north as it is comprised of the famed highlights of Tanzania – and rightly so as the wildlife and game viewing is phenomenal. However, the fame of the north can often overshadow the south, which in our view is one of East Africa’s best kept secrets. West Tanzania is the utmost luxury safari option. It is extremely expensive to get to and hardly any tourists do as a result. As a rough guide – when 70% of travellers head to the north, 25% go to the south, and only 5% or less venture to the West.
