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. Start wherever you like.
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.
How planning works
From first message to confirmed booking
Send your enquiry
Tell us what you would like to experience. Reviewing our journeys and destination guides first helps you describe the trip you have in mind.
Choose your starting point
Pick one of our ready journeys or ask for something tailor-made, and give us your preferred dates and group size.
Talk it through
We discuss the options with you and suggest variations, by message, call or email, whichever suits you.
We check availability
Once the plan is right we confirm group departures or lodge availability, hold provisional reservations, and propose alternatives where something is full.
Clerisa AI Tourism Advisor
Not sure what you want yet?
Answer six or seven questions and we will suggest the journey that fits: which parks, how long, what time of year, and whether to add the coast. It takes about two minutes.
You can send the result straight to us on WhatsApp or by email, and a Clerisa specialist will prepare a personalised quotation.
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. Each links to a fuller guide.
The Great Migration
Well over a million wildebeest, with zebra and gazelle alongside them, move in a continuous loop between the Serengeti and the Maasai Mara. Where they are depends entirely on when you travel.
Africa’s highest point
Kilimanjaro is the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. 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, and one of the few places in Tanzania where black rhino are seen with any regularity.
Swahili coast culture
Stone Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, built on centuries of trade between Africa, Arabia, Persia and Europe.
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.
