Go on Safari to see some of the best wildlife in Africa!

The School of St Jude is just minutes from the centre of Tanzania’s safari capital, Arusha. This town is the gateway to the popular East African National Parks and game reserves such as the Ngorongoro Crater, the vast plains of the Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Arusha National Parks. From a thrilling, but safe position on the back of a safari 4-wheel drive, visitors can experience close encounters with some of Africa’s exotic fauna. Spotting the most popular 'must see' wildlife such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, zebras and giraffes has visitors clicking cameras and brandishing binoculars. But no less exciting are the sightings of comical warthogs, graceful antelopes, migrating wildebeest and elusive colobus monkeys.

However, it’s not just the African fauna that provides treasured memories for the traveller in Africa. A combination of the unique flora, vast landscape and variety of scenery creates an unforgettable backdrop to the recollections of a holiday of a lifetime.

 We can organise both camping and lodge safaris.  We organise transport, guides, cooks, food, tents, mattresses, parking fees etc. All you have to do is bring lots of film!
