Safari and Bush Retreats is a fully licensed Tanzanian tour operator serving travellers across the entire country - from the Serengeti and Ngorongoro in the north to Ruaha and Nyerere in the south, Katavi and Mahale in the west, and Zanzibar's Indian Ocean shores.
We are not tied to a single region. Our guides, drivers and planners operate on every major circuit, with deep knowledge of wildlife seasons, park regulations, lodge partnerships and the quiet roads that make a safari feel effortless.
Led by certified guide Ally Shebe, we design bespoke journeys without agents or mark-ups in between - direct, honest and shaped around how you want to experience Africa.
