While each day in Tanzania brings new landscapes and opportunities, you can expect a nourishing rhythm of movement, exploration, and rest. A typical day may include:

• Breakfast

• Morning yoga,  sunrise safari or hike

• Guided safari drive, cultural experience, or nature hike

• Lunch (at camp or a scenic picnic)

• Nature walk, or a storytelling session

• Afternoon yoga (on days with morning safari or hike)

• Dinner 

• Campfire conversations, stargazing, or a night drive (on select evenings)

No two days will be the same, each one is shaped by where we are and what we encounter.

Throughout your journey, you’ll stay in exceptional accommodations that reflect the spirit and beauty of Tanzania,  each one thoughtfully chosen to offer comfort, connection, and a sense of place.

Your adventure begins at Rivertrees Country Inn, a charming lodge tucked along the Usa River outside Arusha. Surrounded by lush gardens and old-growth trees, it’s the perfect place to land gently and unwind.

In the Eastern Serengeti and Central Serengeti, you’ll stay in Thomson’s signature Nyumba camps,  eco-luxury tented camps that blend safari adventure with comfort and care. Sleep in spacious walk-in tents with cozy linens, en-suite bathrooms, and solar-powered amenities. Wake to birdsong and fall asleep to the sounds of the savanna. Each evening, gather by the campfire under a star-filled sky.

In the Ngorongoro Highlands, you’ll be welcomed by the elegance of Gibb’s Farm, one of Tanzania’s most beloved retreats. This award-winning ecolodge offers private cottages, farm-to-table cuisine, organic gardens, and sweeping views,  a serene place to reflect and integrate all you’ve experienced.

Each setting along the way offers something unique, yet all are designed to help you feel grounded, inspired, and deeply cared for.
