About Hodari

Hodari: Brave, Capable, Skilled

It's the standard we hold ourselves to. Based in Northern Tanzania, we work directly on the ground, designing journeys shaped by first-hand knowledge of the landscape and cared for in every detail, so Tanzania stays with you long after you return home.

Tanzania by Road

Overland Safari · Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Serengeti in depth

A seven day road journey through the great landscapes of northern Tanzania, from the elephants and baobabs of Tarangire to the Serengeti plains and the Ngorongoro Crater. Two full days in the Serengeti allow for a deeper safari, while travelling overland brings you closer to another Tanzania: the Maasai steppe, Mto wa Mbu and its markets, the coffee plantations and everyday life beyond the parks.

Our Guides & Vehicle

“The best guides are not the ones who know the fastest route. They are the ones who know how to move and read the land.”

Sam · Lead Guide

Every Hodari journey is guided by a Tanzanian professional in a customised Land Cruiser: refrigerator, binoculars, charging points, soft drinks, and a roof that opens for the whole vehicle.
