Your Tanzania Experience, in Tune with Nature

At Hatari Travel, we connect deep immersion in untouched nature with cuisine drawn from the same source – for a journey that slows you down, moves you, and renews you.

You’re looking for more than a safari

You want to feel Nature,
not just see it.

You seek experiences far from crowded game drives — where birdsong, not engines, fills the air. You long for landscapes rich in history and culture — from the legacy of Margarete Trappe to the Hatari! film set.

You want to be close to wilderness yet arrive with ease — just an hour from the airport, yet worlds apart. All without giving up comfort, beauty, or meaning.

Six nights. Two worlds. One experience.

Tradition meets transformation

A Garden for the Community and Biodiversity

Wondergarden Ltd is our contribution to a fairer, more sustainable food culture in East Africa. Together with over 1,500 small-scale farmers, we process local ingredients into more than 200 unique products – from nuts and pestos to chocolate. In doing so, we support regenerative agriculture, preserve traditional knowledge, and strengthen local markets.

What ends up on the plate is part of the whole: our cuisine is deeply connected to the region – its soils, its trees, its stories.
