The last two decades have witnessed considerable immigration of other ethnic groups into the region,
resulting in an annual population growth of between 3.1 per cent to 22.8 per cent in various areas

competition for resource use, the Maasai are no longer able to meet their subsistence needs based

,UXURY-OBILE#AMPING
At Safari Legacy we believe
that your expedition into the
African bush does not mean
that you must forgo certain
comforts, that your safari should
not be at the expense of a certain
deserved luxury. Our luxury
mobile camps are tailored to the
needs of the individual clients
that stay there, so as to ensure
the privacy and comfort that a
safari of distinction demands, whilst
allowing the interaction with nature
that only camping can indulge.
Our spacious walk-in tents are of the traditional, time-honoured
safari style, with sewn-in floors and windows, large wooden beds,
comfortable mattresses and fresh cotton bedding, soothed by African
breezes that circulate freely through the shade-cloth windows. The
ensuite bathrooms include a toilet and shower, filled by your personal
camp attendant, according to your needs and fully enclosed to keep
unwanted visitors away. Each tent is individually pitched on our own
private campsites, and appointed to face the unfurling majesty of the
African bush so that even when sat on your veranda, cold drink in
hand, your affinity to the surrounding environment is one of intimacy
and solitude.
Our canvas luxury is enhanced by a dedicated safari crew, intent
on making your overnight stay as memorable and superlative as
possible. Our well trained chefs rustle up the finest in bush cuisine,
serving up multi-course meals to the dining tent, complemented by
a selection of fine wines, ice-cold drinks and spirits brought to you
by the ever attentive waiters.
L U X U RY M O B I L E C A M P I N G
Ultimately, the advantage of our luxury camps is the mobility, the freedom to go into
remote areas of the bush, well away from the beaten tracks of the main tourist circuit.
Safari Legacy carefully choose the optimum sites for their luxury camps, locating game
routes and migration corridors that will provide the perfect proximity to the wildlife
that is, after all, the main reason for your visit.
Silver service dinners, served by courteous waiters traditionally dressed in the Swahili
kanzu and fez, beneath the glistening brilliance of the African night sky is perhaps
the very epitome of safari style, experienced only by a privileged few since the
earliest explorers.
The evening unwinds around the campfire, during which you might learn about Maasai
culture from a local elder, discuss the arrangements for the following day with your
guide or simply soak up the noctural orchestra that pervades the surrounding bush.
As you retire to your spacious tents, gently lit by the dancing flicker of lantern-light,
the drama of the African plains continues around you, the chorus of wildlife providing
a memorable reminder of your whereabouts.
When we plan the safari with you, we seek an indication as to your interests so that
we can better mould your safari around your wishes and tailor-make your personal
itinerary according to your desires. Mobile luxury camps allow us the independence
to better correspond your hopes with our safari operation and take you to the places
that you want to go, to see the wildlife that you want to see. If it is Africa you seek,
then there is no surer way to find it.

TANZANIA’S NATIONAL PARKS
Tanzania dedicates more of its
landmass to conservation than
any other country in Africa. An
impressive 25 per cent of the
country is protected as National
Park, Game Reserve or Game
Controlled Area providing refuge
for some of the largest, wildest
and most concentrated population
of wildlife on the planet. Safari
Legacy operate throughout these
areas, and in a few secluded game
areas of their own, but the more
legendary National Parks include:
Arguably the most famous National Park in the world, the vast
predator-rich Serengeti National Park needs little introduction.
This primeval paradise of roughly the size of Northern Ireland or
Connecticut has been the subject of countless wildlife films, each
seeking to capture the unique spirit of this exhilarating ecosystem
that was, until recently, the domain of a favoured few.
The unfurling plains of Seronera provide the stage for the most
dramatic wildlife spectacle on the planet when the massed herds
of a million wildebeest congregate on the short-grass plains for The
Great Migration north to the Masai Mara. The gently undulating
hills of Lobo stretch up to the Kenyan border, an idyllic landscape,
dotted with kopjes and shady arbours, in which we track the
resident wildlife. Heading west, we reach the croc infested waters
of Grumeti River, the dramatic crossing point where thousands of
wildebeest fall prey to the waiting predators as they cross the river
en route to the dry season grassy plains of the Mara.

Safari Legacy strategically pitch their mobile luxury camps across this rich and prolific
biosphere, to offer you a privileged intimacy with the wildlife and a front seat view of the
constantly evolving ecosystem. We trail the route of the Migration, bringing you closer
to the awesome, natural theatre that unfolds in season with thrilling intensity, starting
from the calving grounds of Naabi before leading you out to Kirawira and the deathdefying crossing of the Grumeti.
And as if the wildlife were not reason enough for a visit, then the chance to drift
effortlessly above the action in a hot air balloon, decipher remote Maasai cave paintings
or uncover the past at Olduvai Gorge, the prehistoric resting place of some of our
earliest predecessors, are worthy of further scrutiny.
We are proud to say that the Serengeti is everything that the discerning safari-seeker
would expect - and more - and we believe that a few nights in a luxury mobile camp
come closer than any other way to doing it the justice it deserves.

Ngorongoro is perhaps the finest, and without a doubt the most

found on the continent of Africa, including the rare Black Rhino.
A game drive around this perfect natural amphitheatre, bounded by
towering 2,000ft sheer walls, allows a rare intimacy with the resident

Any area good enough for a God is worthy of further exploration, and with this in
mind, we at Safari Legacy have compiled a series of itineraries that delve into this
divinely approved paradise. From our private camps or selected lodges on the crater
rim, we root out the elusive and the more visible inhabitants of this earthly Eden,
hoping to catch the Big Five in a single day’s drive in Ngorongoro Crater.
For the more adventurous, a drive or walk into the Ngorongoro Highlands, to the
verdant, tree-brushed slopes of Empakai, or the distant Lake Eyasi, home of the elusive
Hadzabe people, are all highly recommended.
“Part of what made our experience so pleasant, once we arrived in Tanzania, was that the tour company
seemed very organized, attentive to our needs and was sincere about our vacation being the best it
could be. We felt the same way about our guide. We feel so fortunate to have experienced all we did
and did so in a safe and comfortable environment. I’ve done nothing but praise everyone involved

The Ruaha National Park is a vast, still comparatively unexplored game and bird
sanctuary covering 12,950sq. km (5,000sq. miles), only a little smaller than the better
known Serengeti National Park. Its size and location away from the main safari circuits
have meant that Ruaha has not gained the notoriety of its more celebrated peers, but
amongst the repeat visitors to Tanzania, Ruaha enjoys a reputation as the best kept
secret in East Africa.
During the dry season, from July to November, there is a concentration of game along
the river, with herds of elephant, giraffe, buffalo, impala and numerous greater kudu.
Three main areas has so far been opened up for game viewing, the spectacular Ruaha
River drive of great scenic beauty where greater kudu are common and tame, the
Mdonya woodlands circuit where sable, roan antelope and Liechtenstein’s hartebeest
may be encountered, and the Mbage - Mwagusi track for elephants.

Perhaps the last true wilderness of Africa, Selous is an unbounded
expanse of bush, roughly equivalent to the size of Switzerland. Named
after Frederick Selous, the naturalist, hunter and explorer, who once
roamed these parts with his Presidential clients, he was eventually
to meet his death in a World War I skirmish, buried where he fell at
Beho-Beho deep in the area that now bears his name.
Selous is bisected by the Rufiji River, the main artery and life blood
of the entire ecosystem, that flows through the reserve and provides
the focal point of much of our game-viewing whilst there.
One of the principal attractions of a visit to this vast wilderness is
the option to include boat safaris and foot safaris, in addition to
the classic game drives that constitute much of a safari. Meandering
along the river in a covered boat, avoiding the pods of hippo and
crocodiles that launch into the water at our approach, adds a new
and very exciting dimension to your Tanzanian safari, memories of
The African Queen difficult to resist as we drift along the river.

Mahale Mountains National Park is a unique safari destination, set apart from all other
Tanzanian alternatives in character, location and style.This isolated safari destination on
the Western boundaries provides unparalleled opportunities to witness wild groups
of habituated and unhabituated chimpanzees in an exceptional natural environment.
This vast stretch of tropical forested National Park meets the lapping fresh waters
of Lake Tanganyika along a pale sandy shore. Here visitors can combine an unusual
and intense safari experience with an exceptional beach holiday on the banks of the
world’s longest freshwater lake, snorkelling and fishing and then setting off into the
forest to follow the trail of our primeval ancestors.
EXPLORING MAHALE
The sun rises over the lake and sets behind the steep rise of mountains, extending up
to 2,462m at Nkungwe Peak, and, as there are no roads in the park, all the trails that
lead through its glades and distances are only open to those who will walk them.
Numerous pathways and tracks allow us to enjoy truly beautiful forest walks and
chance an encounter with some of the many different inhabitants of the lowland
forests and higher brachystesia woodlands and savannahs. Hundreds of coloured
butterflies (over 30 species) and forest birds dart across the sun lit paths, and the odd
otter may be met near the lake.
MAHALE’S WILDLIFE
The paths are also foraged by wart hog and bush pig, and while elephant, buffalo,
yellow baboons and monkeys favour the cover of the northern regions, the lower,
southern reaches are the terrain of rare roan and sable antelope, kudu and eland in
the shadow of leopard and lion.
The trees are the merry domain of giant squirrels and red-legged squirrels, and
excitable troops of vervet, red colobus and white spot nose monkeys, as well as
potentially a new subspecies of Angolan black and white colobus monkey found on
Mt Nkungwe.
OBSERVING MAHALE’S CHIMPS
The best place in the world to see chimpanzees in the wild can be found here. From
our spectacular lodge at lakes edge, we hike in the forest to observe chimps as they play,
groom and forage. Their trails can be tracked, by our expert guides and trackers.There
are also opportunities for swimming in Lake Tanganyika or butterfly watching.

“First of all....we will never be the
same, we will never look upon on
our daily lives with the same eyes.
Calling this the “trip of a lifetime”
would be an understatement
Kilimanjaro defines East Africa as surely as any other sight in this land
of hyperbole and natural wonder. The highest mountain in Africa, the
highest free-standing mountain in the world, the distinctive snowcapped peak looms up from the surrounding Masai Steppe to
dominate the skyline and sweeping vistas of Northern Tanzania.
... the animals were amazing, the
accommodations were both exotic
and luxurious and the food was
superb, but this would not really
tell the story. The reason our lives
have ‘changed’ is because of the
people and most of all because of
our guides. In both Tanzania and
Kenya our guides were wonderful.
They made the trip special...they
are all an asset to your company.”

Alluringly, Kilimanjaro is as high as the untrained walker can go without
need of oxygen or specialist mountaineering skills, and is proving
an irresistible lure to adventure seekers across the world, keen to
experience a major peak once in their lifetime. Safari Legacy has
compiled a series of itineraries that we hope will take the interested
client to the summit of this world-famous mountain. We principally
use the Machame Route, seeking to avoid the well-beaten trails
of Marangu, providing trained guides, cooks, porters, high-altitude
camping equipment and all the necessary background information
to ensure a safe and comfortable climb.

Each day’s climb is designed to gently gain altitude, moving slowly through each
stage of vegetation so that acclimatisation is assured but not at the expense of the
unique ecosystem and breathtaking views that embellish every step of your climb.
Furthermore, for those limited in time or fitness, we offer options for shorter hikes
in the foothills of Kilimanjaro, trekking the rainforests that cover the lower slope in
search of monkeys, smaller antelopes and tropical birds.
Kilimanjaro is not just another mountain, another peak for summit-baggers. Kilimanjaro
is a self-sustainable ecosystem in itself, a symbol of Tanzania, holy place for the local
