East African Safari And Touring Company

In addition to the acclaimed National Parks of the Northern Circuit, Tanzania can boast some premier wilderness areas and lesser-known National parks to seduce and impress the most experienced safari-hand. The East African Safari And Touring Company can take those prepared to wash down their safari experience with a little adventurous spirit and a desire for the remote wilderness, to areas far away from the well-beaten tracks of the main circuits. The parks of Saadani, Mikumi, Ruaha, Rubondo Island, Katavi and Mahale might not have the kudos of the Northern Circuit but they have the game (and the Kudus, we hasten to add), the eco-systems, the isolation and the sensation of being alone with Africa. So, if you want a little variety in your safari, and decide on some chimpanzees then we will take you to Mahale; game-fishing, chimp habituation projects and the rare Sitatunga and it has to be Rubondo Island; then there's vast herds of mammals without the herds of humans (Ruaha), lions on the beach (Saadani), boats along croc-infested rivers (Selous)- anyway, I think you get the picture. These areas are linked by small charter flights, the odd scheduled flight, the occasional long drive in our 4WD safari vehicles and maybe a train ride. It depends on what you choose..

Likewise, the accommodation. It might be our own safari fly-camp, carefully blended into the surrounding landscape for our privileged viewing with minimum disruption for the animals. It's the only way to be certain of being at the very core of the wildlife experience but it must be done properly. Our experienced and efficient safari crews ensure our adventure does not lack the elemental comforts of a holiday so that our isolation is not at the expense of a certain, deserved contentment. If it is that pioneering, adventurous feeling that spurred on the early settlers and explorers, then this is the surest way to recapture it.
	Then again, there is also the luxury camp, a collection of permanent dwellings that have been built using local materials, African craftsmen and a little architectural eccentricity, to create a unique experience deep in the safari gamelands. Your bed might be in a treehouse, a beachside fisherman's hut, a converted colonial residence or a straw hut straight out of the Swiss Family Robinson. If you fancy trying something a little out of the ordinary, contact us and see if we don't provide you with a bed that will keep you in dinner invitations for years.
		We should inform you that these safaris are not the cheapest available. After all, the price of solitude is not cheap (well, you wouldn't be alone if it was). However, if you are prepared to pay for an experience that most people do not know is actually possible, then contact us and we'll take you from there….
