Set out into the bush at Laba Jongomero in the early morning, when the light is soft and the landscape is still waking up. From the open safari vehicle, every detail comes into focus: tracks in the earth, movement in the trees, distant calls and the subtle signs that tell you something is nearby. With an experienced guide leading the way, the drive is never simply about getting from one sighting to the next. It is about stopping, looking closer and understanding the landscape around you.

And then, somewhere along the way, the vehicle pulls off beneath the trees. A table is set, the morning air is warm, and breakfast is enjoyed in the middle of the wilderness - no walls, no dining room, just the bush stretching out around you.

Out in the heart of Ruaha National Park, Laba Jongomero Bush Manor looks over a wide, sandy riverbed and the bush closes in on every side. Light shifts across the sand, elephants cross at dusk, and the bush sets the pace.

This is Xavier Marie and Julie Brisson's home-from-home in Tanzania, and available as an exclusive-use villa for families who crave this wilderness to themselves.

Julie's eye for interiors shapes every room. Earth-toned velvets sit under handmade clay chandeliers, alongside the perfect imperfection of Moroccan zellige tiles, with thatch overhead and the wild just beyond.

Days unfold on safari, by the fire, and at long tables under an open sky, with the landscape a constant comfort.

Out here, food begins with the land.

At Laba Laba, what reaches your plate matters as much as how it looks. Every meal is nourishing, honest and free of anything artificial, because looking after our guests means looking after their health too.

We work closely with local farmers who can trace every ingredient back to its source. Eighty percent of what we serve is organic. We won’t stop until it’s all of it.

“I would never serve a guest something I wouldn’t happily eat myself. The purity of this place is our greatest gift, and we can’t support farming that harms the land that sustains us.”
– Xavier Marie, owner

At Laba Out of Africa Legend, we take our cue from the earliest safaris: under canvas, simple and unhurried. It’s hard to believe that just 40 minutes from Seronera Airstrip you can be transported to another realm entirely. Ensconced in nature, the tents are spacious and en-suite, with outdoor copper bathtubs and open views of the plains. Days are spent on game drives in restored vintage Land Rovers, on guided walks, or drifting over the Serengeti in a hot-air balloon.

The camp sits in the path of the Great Migration, which moves through this part of the Serengeti twice a year.

April to May: The long rains turn the plains green. Few vehicles, good value and plenty of solitude.

November to December: The air clears, the herds return, and lions, cheetahs and leopards follow.

We are honoured to share that Laba Fanjove Private Island and Laba Grumeti Art Lodge have been named among Tatler Best Africa, 'Best 100 Hotels' for 2026.

This recognition belongs to so many people. To our teams on Laba Fanjove Island and at Laba Grumeti Art Lodge, whose warmth and care shape every stay. To our guests, who chose to share their time with us. And to the communities around both lodges, whose homes and spirit make these places what they are.

Thank you, Tatler Best Africa, for this recognition. We remain grateful and inspired to keep doing what we love.

Guides coined the Little Five (or Small Five) to draw the eye downward, to five small creatures that share a name with the giants of the bush.

Rhinoceros beetle. Pound for pound, one of the strongest animals on earth. Males use the horn to wrestle rivals and to dig. It hisses when disturbed, but is entirely harmless.



Buffalo weaver. Noisy, sociable, and often found in the wake of the herds, feeding on insects stirred up by their hooves. Its nests are sprawling tangles of thorn twigs, each housing several families. In Tanzania, the one we see most often is the white-headed buffalo weaver, with a flash of orange-red at the rump when it takes flight.



Leopard tortoise. The fourth-largest tortoise in the world, with a black-and-yellow shell pattern unique to each animal. The markings fade with age, and it can live for the better part of a century. Unusually for a tortoise, it can swim.



Antlion. The larva digs a funnel in the sand and waits at the bottom, flicking grains at passing ants to bring them sliding down. It can only walk backwards. After a year or more underground, it emerges as a delicate winged adult that lives just a few weeks.



Elephant shrew. Named for its long, twitching snout and, as genetics later showed, a distant relative of the elephant itself. Also known as a sengi, it keeps a network of swept trails through the undergrowth and runs them at up to 28 km/h.

In Swahili culture, the lion sits at the centre of a broader symbol of respect. Leadership, courage and resolve - qualities that reflect the lion’s role in the wild: not dominance for its own sake, but the willingness to hold ground when it is contested.

Across cultures, the lion has carried similar weight. In many African traditions, it is associated with strength, bravery, leadership and protection.

The mane reads as decoration from a distance, but up close it is armour - thick fur that offers protection around the neck during territorial fights. The scar is evidence of one of those encounters.

Perhaps that is what makes the lion such an enduring symbol. Its strength is not simply something it possesses, but rather something it has had to defend, test and carry.
