Explore Tanzania With Us
Tanzania became much more than a destination for us. Over time, it became a place of friendship, purpose, wonder, and deep connection. Through our partnership with Arnold Makinda and Instinct Tours Tanzania Safaris, we now help others discover a safari experience that is both extraordinary and personal.
This page is our own companion guide to the journey — a place where we share the backstory, the seasons, sample safari itineraries, practical insights, and the moments that have made Tanzania such an important part of our lives.
Our Story
How We Got Here
What began as a love of photography and travel gradually grew into something much deeper. After experiencing Tanzania for ourselves, we formed a close friendship with Arnold Makinda — guide, naturalist, educator, and founder of Instinct Tours Tanzania Safaris.
As the years went on, we found ourselves helping friends, fellow travelers, and future guests understand what safari life is really like: the rhythm of the days, the seasons, the route, the lodges, the packing, the flights, the wildlife, and the joy of being there.
Today, this part of our website is where we share that personal perspective. It is not a replacement for the official Instinct Tours website, but rather a welcoming gateway into the experience from people who know the journey firsthand.
What You'll Find Here
This page brings together the Tanzania stories, safari ideas, seasonal sample itineraries, videos, and planning insights we most often share with travelers who are beginning to explore the journey.
It is meant to help you get your bearings, understand the rhythm of the seasons, and see a few different ways a safari with Instinct Tours can take shape.
Green Season Safari
Lush landscapes, dramatic skies, and the beauty of the southern Serengeti during calving season. This is a wonderful time for travelers who love rich scenery, active wildlife, and a softer, greener look to the land.
Green Season Safari
Crisp mornings, beautiful light, and classic wildlife viewing across northern Tanzania. This season offers a wonderful blend of comfort, variety, and timeless safari atmosphere.
Great Migration Safari
A season shaped by movement, anticipation, and the unforgettable drama of the northern Serengeti. For many travelers, this is the iconic safari dream.
