Know Before You Go: Tanzania Safaris

Tanzania Safari Videos & Webinars

When you're talking about nature tours, Africa is it's the top. What you see there really is everything, and it's up close. And you don't have to spend your days searching, searching, searching. Every time you go out, you've got stuff everywhere. There's a lot of ways to do an African safari. But how do you do it and keep it authentic? How do you do it and get away from the crowds? And that's what's important to us, and that that takes some doing. The way that we do it is consistent with the way that we do everything everywhere. It's gotta be in a small group because you can't really have a personal experience in nature with dozens of other people around you. My family was out there. We did a picnic in the Masai Mara, and we're enjoying a cold Tusker beer and some lunch. All of a sudden a herd of about twenty elephants came out of the forest and within a hundred yards of our table. We were right there. I mean, were right in the middle of their path and we just stood up and watched, and they walked by. They kept an eye on us. But we were part of their ecosystem, and they were fine with it because we were a small group. When a large group of people go out there, it changes things for the wildlife. It's much more authentic with just a few caring individuals to your left and your right. This is very much about the personal, intimate, authentic nature experience. Nat Hab's all about getting close to the wildlife, and that's what our camps in East Africa do. We do it differently than others because we go farther afield. We can get into areas that are more private. They're smaller. They're beautiful, but they're not about only the opulence. They're about the size, they're about the positioning, they're about getting farther out there in an authentic manner. It gets you closer to the wildlife. I mean, you can often see the migration just walk by your tent in the morning as you're drinking coffee. And you're sitting there alone. Maybe nobody else is up yet. And you'll see wildebeests and zebras just one hundred yards away, and you'll see thousands of them. All with the sounds of nature happening all around you, and that that's the experience we're looking for. Being out there alone and and enjoying your coffee with nature just happening all about you. What we do takes a lot of work. Our guides, our field team, they put the effort in to get our guests farther afield. It's what we're good at. Africa is something else, and East Africa, with its wildlife, the topography, it's an experience that really cannot be replicated anywhere else.
