RATED AFRICA’S NUMBER 1 SAFARI OUTFITTER BY NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
In the early days of safari, the spirit of true exploration defined the journey — deep into the broad savannas, following the rhythm of the wild. At Mark Thornton Safaris, we continue that legacy. Our Tanzanian safaris are wild, free, and deeply authentic — led by a team of veteran, widely respected professional guides.
Whether you’re walking across the Serengeti or searching for lions at sunrise, you want a guide you can trust — someone with intimate knowledge of the land, its wildlife, and its culture. That’s exactly what we offer.
We outfit only a limited number of exclusive safaris each year, with a steadfast focus on quality over quantity. More than 80% of our guests come through word of mouth, and over half return again — many becoming lifelong friends.
Every safari is completely private and custom-designed — so, whether you’re planning a walking safari, a luxury retreat, or a family adventure, our Tanzanian safaris offer the real thing — unfiltered, unforgettable, and deeply connected to the land.
“We had been spoiled by savoring wide-open spaces at a slow pace with time to absorb, time to walk, time to see and think.”
