The Serengeti Circuit

Few places match it for sheer scale of wildlife — and its one championship course sits in the most beautiful golfing setting we know.

Grandest wilderness

The Serengeti and the Crater — wildlife at a scale nowhere else touches

The wild

The whole reason you come.

From the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater to the white sand of Zanzibar, Tanzania delivers one enormous experience after another. The golf is a single, sublime chapter — Kiligolf, laid between Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro — so we build the journeys around the wild and combine across the Kenyan border when your scorecard wants more.

Wildebeest columns to the horizon, Serengeti

Serengeti National Park

The greatest concentration of wildlife on earth and the beating heart of the Migration — spectacular in any season.

Ngorongoro Crater

The largest intact caldera on the planet — a chance at all the Big Five in a single day, including its precious black rhino.

Tarangire & Zanzibar

Baobabs and giant elephant herds inland; then dhows, reef and Stone Town on the Spice Island to finish.

Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate

Tanzania's first championship course, by David Jones — the man behind Vipingo Ridge — laid between Meru and Kilimanjaro. Dik-dik and zebra wander the margins, and the snow-capped views on the back nine are worth the round alone. Twenty-five minutes from the airport: the perfect gateway to the northern circuit.

Graeme's tip

Play 'Kiligolf' on arrival as your warm-up, then drive straight into the wild. Bush and game in one swing of the door.

The Ladies' Pick

For ladies' groups here, start with Kiligolf & the Crater — and see our Ladies' Golf Safaris.

Good questions

Asked before you booked

Do I need a visa for Tanzania?

Yes — most visitors use Tanzania's online e-visa (or visa on arrival). It is straightforward, and we guide you through it when you book.

When should I go for the migration or the Crater?

The northern Serengeti river-crossing season runs roughly July to October; the southern calving season, with predators in tow, is January to March. The Ngorongoro Crater is superb year-round. We will time your journey to the spectacle you most want.

Is the golf any good in Tanzania?

There is exactly one championship-standard course — the Kilimanjaro Golf & Wildlife Estate between Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro — and its setting is among the most beautiful in world golf. We will be honest: in Tanzania the wildlife is the headline and the golf is the overture.

Can my non-golfing partner come?

Absolutely — while the golfers play, our Gallery programme runs parallel experiences: game drives, spas, wine, walks and markets, reunited for lunch or sundowners. Non-golfers never sit out a day.

How do I get an exact price?

Open any journey and choose Price a Private Version — adjust the nights, keep or drop rounds and experiences, tell us who is travelling, and our quoting engine returns an exact private price, checked by a specialist, usually within one working day.

Are the hotel names confirmed?

Yes — every itinerary on this site names its exact properties, hand-picked from our register of fifty-two. None paid for, none reciprocated.

Tell us how you want to feel when you come home.

We'll build the wild, and the golf, around that — and nothing else.
