A Safari Like No Other

The No Compromise Safari

The Magnificence of Tanzania: October 1-12, 2022 ITINERARY (SOLD OUT)

Over my years hosting safaris, I've observed the ebbs and flows of safari days and the hard choices travel planners must make to lower trip costs.?But there are those who prefer not to make those compromises when traveling. For them, we rebuilt this safari from the foundation up. While retaining the superlatives of previous itineraries, we focused on crafting a new safari with the highest level of both luxury and experience. And you’re making an impact as 100% of safari proceeds benefit the Naples Zoo Conservation Fund to save species in the wild.

Just Room for a Select Few

We dramatically limited this safari to just six couples. And while two 8-seat Land Cruisers would suffice, we added a bonus third custom Land Cruiser to give you the gift of space. So if you have another couple you’d like to travel with, you essentially have a private vehicle!

Carefully Curated Accommodations

Tom LaRock, the founder of Safari Professionals, and Tim Tetzlaff, Naples Zoo’s Director of Conservation, carefully pored over the top lodges reviewing numerous aspects for this safari itinerary from amenities and levels of service to proximity for the best wildlife viewing. We’re delighted with the results you’re about to read.

Flights to Exceptional Locations

To reduce long travel days, we have booked three in-country flights on Grumeti Air, the private airline partner of the prestigious Singita lodges. This both adds prime viewing time to your safari and enables us to explore more secluded wildlife-rich private areas away from the majority of tourist vehicles.

Upgraded Offerings

The distinct touches are what make any experience, so we’ve included multiple walking safari options, bush breakfasts and dinners, stunning locations for evening sundowner drinks, night game drives, and more. And while boxed lunches in the bush are an essential part of safari, we upgraded some with seated meals at scenic lodges along the way.

Safari Expertise

You will be hosted by Naples Zoo President & CEO Jack Mulvena along with our Director of Conservation Tim Tetzlaff who oversees our travel program. Tetzlaff is the son of Naples Zoo founders Lawrence "Jungle Larry" Tetzlaff and Nancy "Safari Jane" Tetzlaff. And as your photographs are crucial to share your memories, we have also arranged for the president of Africa Nature Photography & Safaris, Anglebert Pantaleo, to join our safari from start to finish to make sure you get those perfect shots!?

If you’ve wanted to see some of the very best that Tanzania has to offer while still taking in the true spirit of safari, this just may be the luxury excursion for you. I hope you can join us. Africa awaits. Download the complete itinerary.
