Where to begin
Discover your Tanzania
Most people arrive with one thing in mind, the migration, the summit, the beach, and build the rest around it.
Explore Tanzania
The parks, and how they connect
Tanzania’s northern circuit sits within a day’s drive of Arusha. Zanzibar and Pemba are a short flight east.
Signature journeys
Places to start from
Each of these can be lengthened, shortened, made private, or extended to the coast. They are starting points, not fixed products.

Tanzania in motion
What it actually looks like
Footage from our own trips, not stock library clips.
Forest and canopy
Jozani forest and highland woodland, a different Tanzania from the plains.
Under the Indian Ocean
Reefs off Zanzibar and Pemba, among the best diving in East Africa.
The quiet moments
Not everything is a chase. Most of a game drive looks like this.
Kilimanjaro
Three routes to Uhuru Peak
They differ in length, in how gradually they let you acclimatise, and in where you sleep. Those three things decide how a trek actually goes.
- Marangu: 7 days, sleeping in huts
- Machame: 8 days, camping
- Lemosho: 10 days, the longest approach
- Minimum age 12. Group size up to 12 trekkers.

Not sure what you want yet?

Let’s plan your Tanzania experience. What would you most like to experience?
The advisor does not quote prices. A Clerisa specialist prepares every quotation personally.
Zanzibar and Pemba
The coast, after the parks
Most travellers finish on the coast. Stone Town for the history and the food, the north for the beaches, and Pemba if you want somewhere genuinely quiet.
- Short flight from the Serengeti or Arusha
- Stone Town, Nungwi and Kendwa
- Diving and snorkelling on the reefs
- Can be added to any mainland journey
Worth knowing
Tanzania, in short
A few things that shape when you should come and where you should go.
The Great Migration
Well over a million wildebeest move in a continuous loop between the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara.
Africa’s highest point
Uhuru Peak sits at 5,895 m, reached over seven to ten days depending on the route.
The Ngorongoro Crater
The largest unbroken volcanic caldera on earth, with dense wildlife year round.
Swahili coast culture
Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site built on centuries of Indian Ocean trade.
Why Clerisa
A Tanzanian company, planning Tanzanian journeys
We are based in Arusha, which is where almost every northern-circuit safari begins. That means we are not coordinating your trip from another continent. We are in the same town as the vehicles, the guides and the park gates.
We handle wildlife safaris, Kilimanjaro treks, Zanzibar and cultural travel ourselves, so a trip that combines them stays with one company from the first message to the airport transfer home.
Travel trade and partners
Ground handling, custom itineraries and Zanzibar extensions for agencies, tour operators and travel advisors working into Tanzania.
