Ever heard of a tree-climbing lion? 🦁

The Ishasha sector in Queen Elizabeth Park is famous for them. These masters of relaxation can often be found spread out across the branches of huge fig trees.

Why they climb? No one knows for sure. It could be to escape the heat, avoid biting insects or simply get a better view of what’s happening below.

📍 Ishasha, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda

Meet our fleet 🚘

This is the ultimate all-terrain camping vehicle, ideal for families or a group of friends! Our Land Cruiser Double Cab has 4 window seats, can fit 2 rooftop tents and has a roof hatch for game viewing 🦒

Fun fact: did you know that most classic Land Cruisers you see on safari in Tanzania can be up to 20 years old? Still, they are extremely powerful and reliable. With simple electronics and a sturdy design, Land Cruisers are specifically made for slower travel on rough roads in the bush.

A road trip that covers all Uganda’s highlights? That’s the Primate Express for you 🦍

In 12 days you get to see it all: gorillas, chimps, lakes, national parks, lions…you name it. And in the meantime, you get to cruise around the most stunning landscapes, sleep in beautiful lodges or crash in your rooftop tent.

If this sounds like your type of holiday, check out the full itinerary via the link in bio 🔗

Kidepo is wild, remote and wonderfully vast.

And then there’s the wildlife. Herds of buffalo, giraffes and ostriches wander past and, with some luck, you might spot a lion, cheetah or leopard🦒🦁

The game viewing is excellent, but what makes Kidepo really stick is the feeling of being far away from everything.

That’s why we love Kidepo.

📍 A moment in… Ol Doinyo Lengai (the Mountain of God)

Located close to Lake Natron, in the North of Tanzania, Ol Doinyo Lengai is no ordinary volcano.

It’s still active and holds deep spiritual meaning for the local Maasai, who call it the Mountain of God 🌋

🏕️ Uganda by 4x4 and rooftop tent = pure freedom

Yes, there are campsites everywhere. And yes, at night hippos wander past your tent... (pro tip: never camp between a hippo and the water 👀)

🔍 Myth or fact?
“You can travel Tanzania year-round”

Fact.

There’s no single “best” time to visit Tanzania. Every season has something different to offer.

⛺ The dry season is great for camping
🌿The green season brings lush landscapes and fewer crowds
☔ And even during the rainy months, showers don’t last all day (and prices drop)
