The partners who make it possible
Why the lodges, camps and services A&H works with make a difference
A safari is only as good as the sum of its parts, and the parts that matter most are the ones that guests experience directly. The camp where they sleep, the food they eat, the guide who takes them out at dawn, the light aircraft that lifts them over the Serengeti and sets them down in the middle of it. Every one of these elements either elevates the experience or diminishes it, which is why the partnerships that underpin an Anderson & Harvey safari are chosen with exactly the same care and attention that goes into every other aspect of what we do. Let's find out more...
The A&H partner portfolio is a curated selection of properties and services that share our commitment to exceptional guest experiences, genuine quality and the kind of warm, intelligent hospitality that leaves people feeling looked after rather than processed. These are partners we know personally, properties we visit regularly, operations whose standards we trust because we've seen them deliver firsthand.
Tanzania: the heart of it all
Across Tanzania's northern circuit, our lodge and camp partners represent some of the finest accommodation in East Africa. One Nature Nyaruswiga brings a level of luxury to the central Serengeti that matches the extraordinary landscape it occupies. Nomad Tanzania's string of beautifully positioned camps delivers a spirit of genuine adventure in some of the wildest corners of the ecosystem. The Nyumbani Collection offers intimate, beautifully crafted tented accommodation in prime Serengeti locations. Chem Chem's three properties, now part of Auberge Safaris, are tucked into its own private conservancy between Tarangire and Lake Manyara, and are the kind of hidden gems that reward guests willing to venture slightly off the beaten circuit. The Legendary Expeditions collection of lodges and camps is also now part of Auberge Safaris and includes Mila Tented Camp, Mwiba Lodge and Songa Migrational Camp.
Elewana's curated collection spans multiple East African destinations with consistent quality and character. Lemala's camps and lodges across northern Tanzania are renowned for their positioning and their guiding. Nimali brings luxurious comfort to some of Tanzania's most breathtaking locations. Legendary Expeditions offers vintage mobile safari experiences that feel entirely unlike anything else on the circuit, while Singita's reputation for outstanding lodge experiences across four African countries speaks for itself. Acacia Farm Lodge and the Ngorongoro Retreat provide beautifully considered alternatives for guests whose itineraries take them into the Karatu and Lake Manyara corridor.
For arrivals and departures, Arusha's own collection of partner properties ensures that the beginning and end of every safari is handled with the same care as everything in between. The African Tulip, elegant and efficiently run in the heart of the city, sets the tone beautifully. Lake Duluti Lodge provides a serene transition point with views to Kilimanjaro on a clear morning that remind guests, even before the safari has begun, exactly where they are.
Kenya: extending the journey
For itineraries that extend into Kenya, our partner portfolio is equally carefully chosen and equally well known to the A&H team personally. Angama Mara, perched high above the Rift Valley escarpment with a view over the Masai Mara that stops conversation cold, is among the finest owner-run safari lodges in Africa. Alex Walker's Serian camps offer exclusive, intimate experiences in prime Kenya and Tanzania wilderness. Richard's Camp delivers the luxury tented experience at the very heart of the Mara. Cottar's 1920s Camp, with its extraordinary conservation credentials and vintage aesthetic, occupies a category entirely its own. Mahali Mzuri, Sir Richard Branson's 12-tented camp in the Kenyan bush, brings the kind of effortless luxury its owner has always been rather good at, while The Safari Collection's distinct lodges cover Kenya's finest locations with a consistency and warmth that our trade partners have come to rely on with confidence.
The finishing touch
No northern circuit itinerary is truly complete without considering what comes before, after and beyond the bush. For the Zanzibar extension that so many guests add to their Tanzania safari, Zuri Zanzibar and White Sands Villa provide beach and resort experiences of a quality that the bush-to-beach transition genuinely deserves, one sustainably led and beautifully designed on the island's north coast, the other a villa retreat of divine elegance and considerable charm.
Auric Air, our trusted charter airline partner based in Tanzania, ensures that the transfers between all of these extraordinary places are as smooth, reliable and well-timed as everything else the A&H operation delivers.
