Discover · Immerse · Preserve
Custom-built Tanzania safaris, planned around you — from the open grasslands of the Serengeti and the crater floor at Ngorongoro to the white beaches of Zanzibar. Seasoned local guides, carefully chosen camps, and an itinerary shaped entirely by your travel style.
Wild Haven Tanzania was built on a simple idea: travel should give back more than it takes. Operating out of Arusha, our team designs immersive, low-impact journeys that leave both our guests and the landscapes they visit better off.
"Part of every booking flows back into the communities along our routes — funding schools, clean water and local jobs, and giving travelers a genuine connection to the people who call this land home."
— Wild Haven Tanzania, Arusha, TanzaniaEvery guide on our team grew up in Tanzania and has spent years reading these landscapes. A share of each safari we run goes directly toward conservation work in the parks we visit.
Years spent in these parks means we know which camps deliver, which routes avoid the crowds, and who to call when plans need to change. Strong relationships with our lodge and supplier network keep every trip running smoothly.
Tanzania is home before it's a destination for us. We share it because we're proud of it, and we protect it because our future depends on it — a portion of every trip goes back into keeping this place wild.
A genuine love of the wild is what drives this company. That passion is why we've assembled a team of seasoned safari specialists dedicated to showing this land at its very best.
Every game drive is led by a guide who knows the terrain and the animals on it — turning each outing into more than a sighting, with the stories and context to match.
Protecting the wilderness we work in isn't optional for us — it's the point. Low-impact practices throughout our operations help make sure these landscapes are still thriving for the next generation of travelers.
From your first enquiry to the day you land back home, you'll have a dedicated point of contact looking after the details — with your safety and comfort as the constant priority.
More than 1.5 million wildebeest are on the move across the Serengeti at any given moment, chasing rain and fresh grazing in a loop that never really stops. Timing your visit to where the herds actually are is what separates an average game drive from an extraordinary one.
Southern Serengeti & Ndutu. On the short-grass plains here, as many as 8,000 calves arrive daily — drawing predators in for some of the rawest wildlife viewing of the year.
Central Serengeti, through Seronera. The long rains set in and the herds begin their push north, turning the plains a deep green — a quieter, more atmospheric time to visit.
Western Serengeti, Grumeti River. This is where the crossings begin for the year, with sizeable Nile crocodiles lying in wait as the herds brave the water.
Northern Serengeti, Kogatende/Lamai. The signature moment of the migration and easily its most photographed — camps here fill up fast, so early booking matters.
Central & eastern Serengeti. Short rains bring the herds back south, arriving in Ndutu right as the next calving season gets underway.
Every itinerary below has been shaped by our own time on the ground in these parks, built to balance genuine adventure with a light footprint on the places we love.
