Northern Tanzania

The wild,
seen differently

Private, unhurried safaris across the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire — shaped around the way you actually want to travel.

Wildblick Expeditions

The difference between a good safari and an unforgettable one is almost never the lodge.

It is the guide. It is the timing. It is the willingness to sit still for another twenty minutes because something is about to happen. We run a deliberately small number of journeys each season so that every one of them is planned by a person who knows the route, has slept in the camps, and is still reachable while you are on the road.

The collection

Three ways into the north

I

Great Migration
River Crossings

Serengeti · Ngorongoro

Timed to the northern Serengeti in crossing season. Two nights are held in reserve so your guide can follow the herds rather than a schedule — the crossings keep their own calendar, and we would rather wait for them than pretend otherwise.

Eight days · From US$4,450 per person sharing

II

Crater Rim
and Open Plains

Ngorongoro · Tarangire · Lake Manyara

The northern circuit, unhurried. First light on the crater floor before the day vehicles descend, long afternoons among the baobabs, and a rim lodge that earns the drive up to it.

Seven days · From US$3,890 per person sharing

III

Bush, Baobabs
and the Coast

Tarangire · Serengeti · Zanzibar

Nine days of game viewing, then the crossing to the archipelago. For travellers who want the plains and the Indian Ocean held in a single arc, without rushing either.

Eleven days · From US$6,200 per person sharing

Six

guests to a vehicle, never more

One

planner, from first call to last transfer

A day

kept in reserve on every route

Our approach

Planned around you,
not around a route.

Most itineraries are built backwards from what is easy to sell. We begin with a conversation instead — what you want to see, how early you are willing to rise, whether you would rather cover ground or stay put and watch.

From there we choose the camps, the guide and the pace. Nothing is booked until the shape of the thing is right.

Where we travel

Destinations

Serengeti

Endless plains, and the herds that cross them

Wildblock Expeditions

Ngorongoro

A collapsed caldera holding its own world

Tarangire

Elephant country, under ancient baobabs

Kilimanjaro

The mountain that anchors the north

If Tanzania has been on the list for years,
this is where it begins.

A short conversation, no obligation. We will tell you honestly whether the season suits what you want to see.

Field notes

From the road

August 2026

When to see the river crossings, honestly

The Mara crossings are unpredictable by nature. How we read the season, and how we build slack into a route so a quiet week is never a wasted one.

July 2026

What to pack for a green-season safari

The short rains change the light, the roads and the birdlife. A practical list from our guides, with the three things travellers most often forget.

June 2026

Choosing between the crater and the plains

Two of Tanzania’s best-known parks, rewarding completely different kinds of traveller. A straight comparison, with no hedging.

“They moved our whole third day because a guide radioed in about a leopard. That is the difference.”
