Our guide Wilson captured this handsome leopard posing in the open. Leopard can be tricky and getting a shot of them out in the open like this is not something you come across every day. We are really proud of Wilson’s photography and guiding for amazing photos.

How ready does this group look for safari! We welcome Bernard and Jessica on safari in Tanzania.

The northern Serengeti is red hot right now with megaherds a plenty. We welcome Meg and Donna with Guide Humphrey staying at the gorgeous MaraMara Tented lodge in Kogatende.

Join us on the mountain. Trekking. Wildlife safari. You name it - we can do it.

The pangolin is such a rare site on safari. They are a critically endangered animal, mostly due to poaching for purported medical use in some Eastern cultures. What an amazing sighting in Tarangire!

24/07/2024

How relaxed do they look? We loved having your family on safari with us! Pictured with our guides Wilson at the Ngorongoro viewpoint and Joel in our open vehicle in the Serengeti. Ask us how we can help your family experience this same happiness!

Families and safaris. It melts our hearts!

23/07/2024

Just waiting for this moment. Rains on safari can provide some pretty cool photographic opportunities like this full maned male lion shaking it off!

Materuni Waterfall is a nice short hike that can be done on a day trip to Moshi. This can be combined with a visit to the local Chagga tribe who live on the slope of Kilimanjaro and are excellent farmers - growing fruits (especially bananas) and coffee. Here the Coe family spends some time with a flap-necked chameleon along the path to Materuni.

15/07/2024

We are thrilled to have the Coe family on safari with us. They wanted to spend some time around Moshi before safari - so we made a 2 day detour to Moshi staying at and we visited Materuni Waterfall on the slope of Mount Kilimanjaro and spent some time in Moshi town. This is a great add on to any safari package. Follow us to see what they do on their trip! Ask us to plan a trip for you and your family or friends.

The group a zebras, known as a dazzle, are cautiously grazing while keeping watch at something nearby in the Ndutu region of Tanzania. What do you think has caught their attention? Check out our stories for the answer!

Loving this capture by on safari this past year in the Namiri Plains of Central Serengeti. This is a great place to view the migration before they reach Ndutu and an excellent place for cheetah and lions.

03/07/2024

We had a wonderful time on safari with the entire Osuri family. So great when families travel together. 3 generations came and enjoyed Tanzania with us! Thank you for trusting our company.

Juvenile giraffe in the high grasses during rainy season in Tarangire National Park. Don’t you just love how fuzzy the ossicones are??

Yellow-billed oxpeckers - adults and juveniles - taking a ride on a Cape buffalo. Why do these birds love buffalo and others mammals? Comment below….

We are getting ready to push full throttle into a new safari season here in Tanzania. What are you most looking forward to in the next few months?

28/05/2024

Goodall. Youngest of Gremlin. Gombe Stream National Park. Did you know you can trek on foot to see chimpanzees (and other primates) in the wild of Tanzania. Ask us about chimpanzee trekking in Gombe or Mahale in Western Tanzania.

Drama on the kopjes. Mating in lions is fast, frequent and ends furious. Check out the reactions of this male and female post-coitus.

We are proud to sponsor a beehive for the Wild Survivors Day project in Upper Kitete Village in Tanzania. Human- animal conflict is one of the highest risks for elephants. They are huge. Their migration corridors have been disrupted and unfortunately they can do a lot of damage quickly to the farms through which they migrate. But did you know that elephants are terrified of bees? Wild Survivors has an awesome project that we are supporting where they are building beehive fences in this corridor to reduce crop damage, this protecting the elephants! And this is a great source for honey. The women of Upper Kitete are learning beekeeping skills and harvesting honey in an order to sell to support themselves. This is a WIN-WIN-WIN situation. Please let us know if you would like to build a visit to Upper Kitete and the Wild Survivors project into your itinerary or if you’d like more information about this amazing project.

At night the lions become active. Blue hour image by as a part of the pride emerged to hunt

This morning I was enjoying my chai when I heard some birds in the garden. Red-cheeked cordon bleu! I ran for my camera. But they left by the time I got it. Instead I got a close up portrait of a red-billed firefinch. I won’t complain! I’m realizing there are a ton of birds right in our yard and I’m trying to capture them in pictures for you all to see the beautiful birds of Tanzania. Karibu sana!

Did you know that cheetahs are considered a threatened species? Fortunately the Serengeti boasts a healthy population of cheetahs for now. Poaching, habitat loss and fragmentation all contribute to reduced population size. The Serengeti Cheetah project is one research project ongoing to investigate this species and to determine conservation possibilities.

Today at WTM Africa 2024, in Cape Town South Africa we had the great opportunity to speak meet H.E. Ambassador James Bwana, the high commissioner of Tanzania about our marketing efforts to promote tourism efforts in our amazing country.

23/03/2024

Our guide watched this beautiful young leopard just last week. She was caught in a bad spot. A place with few trees and many lions. They stole her meal. She managed to find refuge in this tree for the night. And we hope she snuck off when no one was watching. What a gorgeous capture of this pretty lady!

19/03/2024

Lion cub resting up in a tree in Ndutu. Ndutu has a very healthy lion population and they love climbing up into the trees here as well.

12/03/2024

Lions in the rain. There is nothing more exciting for a photographer than capturing a thick maned lion in the rain and waiting for that perfect moment for him to shake it out. While we cannot guarantee rain we can put you in the best position to potentially experience and capture rbis thrilling moment.

02/03/2024

Parting is such sweet sorrow! We met with the entire team to bid farewell to our clients with a lunch on the rooftop of the Gran Melia. We really love spending time with our clients and making sure we fulfill their goals on safari! Until we meet again - safe travels home!

29/02/2024

Incredible sundowner on safari in Ndutu today. The clouds parted and the sun returned as we enjoyed a cocktail in an amazing setting.

Earlier this year we visited Gombe Stream. This is where Jane Goodall did pioneering chimpanzee research. It remains a remote and untouched part of mainland Tanzania. You get there via a boat ride in Lake Tanganyika, the 2nd longest and deepest lake in the world! Look at the sheer beauty! Join us at Gombe Stream!

Seeing these intimate tender moments of a mama lion caring for her cubs is one of the most amazing parts of a privately curated sadari. We can focus on exactly what you want to see and spend as much time as you want there… Not having to rush and leave to please everyone in a group joining safari contact us to ask more about a privately curated safari with @offthebeatenpath_safaris #wildafrica #offthebeatenpath #tanzaniasafari .

We really enjoying the Zulu signers and dancers at WTM. You can see the attendees really got into it. Watch to the end to see same amazing dancing!

We are proud to help promote our local businesses and activities. Like the Ladies Open that took place in Tanzania where woman golfers from around Tanzania competed in an international competition. By supporting local businesses we support our local residents.

Our clients got a nice experience with lions in Serengeti today. Join us on safari!

In the Northern Serengeti our guide Humphrey shares with us an incredible river crossing of a family of elephants with 3 youngsters! What a beautiful site to see.

At the watering hole today in Serengeti National Park! Wow

There are about 10 different river crossing sites in Northern Serengeti. It takes skill to know where to sit and wait. It takes a lot of luck to have a position this good to witness the river crossing. Did you know that zebra and wildebeest tend to migrate together. What a site these clients got of a continuous stream of animals over 15-20 minutes! Nice job team!

A fantastic goodbye ceremony to our guests as they prepare to depart Pamoja Tented Camp in Central Serengeti. Don’t you just love the sounds of their singing voices?!?

A day in the life. Don’t you want to join us on safari?

Today on safari in the Northern Serengeti. Our clients witnessed an amazing river crossing.

Wow! What an incredible crossing we witnessed today! Here see a massive crossing captured by our guide Humphrey in Kogatende—the Northern Serengeti where a huge herd of wildebeest crossed the Mara River!
