About this trip

Cross an African Safari off your bucket list with this 9 day epic trip around Tanzania & Zanzibar! 


We'll be camping in the Serengeti, photographing the Big 5, hiking to waterfalls, swimming in hot springs, visiting local tribes and much, much more!! 


I first did the trip in July 2022 (see the highlights here) and just can't get enough of Tanzania! After two sold out group trips here in 2023 & two MORE sold out groups in 2024, I'm thrilled to be offering this trip again! 


We've upgraded some of our hotels to make the trip even more luxurious than last year. But you can still expect the same great adventure! (Meaning yes, we are actual tent camping inside the Serengenti!!)


And  I'll be there every step of the way co-hosting and helping you capture beautiful photos of this trip of a lifetime.  


This is your chance to get up close and personal with animals in the wild! Not only in Tanzania but also in Zanzibar with wild dolphins.

Hi, I'm Emily Rose! In 2018, I sold all my stuff and moved into my suitcase to travel full time and work around the world! After 33 countries and 29 states, I decided to start bringing others along on my adventures with me! Check out my website TheWanderlustRose.com or my Instagram (@thewanderlust_rose) for all things travel and adventure. I can't wait to meet you!

This was my first trip with Emily and it was incredible! Everything logistically was taken care of allowing us to really enjoy the experience and fantastic animal sights! I’ve traveled with other tour groups in the past but I really enjoyed the smaller group and the vibe of the group overall. I will definitely be returning in the future for another adventure!

This trip to Uganda was absolutely wonderful! The lodges were stunning, the food delicious and the wildlife encounters beyond expectation! The most amazing people to share this experience with and the most beautiful pictures taken bij Emily & Tessa to remind this trip of a lifetime. Everything was so well arranged and I would highly recommend this trip with Wanderlust! This was my first trip with Emily but definitely not the last! Absolutely loved it! ❤️

This was the most amazing trip of my life! Emily and Tessa provided a top of the line experience that is incomparable to anything I have ever done! They kept us safe and informed the whole way through with amazing guides- The Emma’s, beautiful and comfortable accommodations, and unforgettable face to face encounters with wildlife. I highly recommend this trip and I’m so grateful I got to experience it. Can’t wait for my next trip with Wanderlust Group Trips!

Absolutely amazing. Every place we stayed and activity we did was perfect! It was so nice seeing Emily know the vendors and their excitement to see her, it really goes to show how much care and time she takes putting these itineraries together. Her relationships give you the best possible experiences. Tessa and Emily are the best of the best and I definitely plan on traveling with them again!

This trip was unlike anything I have ever experienced! From the moment I arrived in Uganda until the last minute I felt welcomed, happy and couldn’t stop smiling. The people on this trip were incredible, so easy to bond and connect with. The safaris, activities (like the epic gorilla trek) are things I will never forget. Emily’s attention to detail, kind heart and positive personality made every minute perfect. From seeing all of the big five, to primates and pumbas - Uganda is truly the pearl of Africa.

We have used Emily for our last three trips to Egypt, Japan and Ireland, and we are already planning our next trips with her. She is absolutely amazing, makes the trip absolutely pleasant, and can’t imagine using anyone else. She personalizes each trip to use the best attractions and main spots to visit all in one itinerary. She thoroughly vets everyone she uses on these trips and hand-picks the itinerary. Myself and Giovanna adore Emily and look forward to many more trips with her. Highly HIGHLY recommended.

My lifelong dream of visiting Ireland was nothing short of MAGICAL! There was not one minute that I was not smiling and soaking it all in. Emily Rose has taken the time to put together the perfect itinerary. Her passion and love for Ireland shines brightly!! Our local tour guide, Cash, was a treasure of knowledge and a hoot to be around. I loved this trip and Emily Rose so much that I’ve already signed up for Japan next year!

This is my second trip with emily, and i've already booked my third and fourth! When I talk about my time an experiences with Emily and her I am torn because she is such an amazing person and curates such fantastical experiences that part of me wants to keep her all to myself and part of me wants to shout from the rooftops, how amazing she is. Our most recent adventure had the absolute perfect mix of luxury, pleasure, breathtaking views, and thrilling adventures that pushed you just enough past your comfort zone to question your life choices for a minute. Personally, those are the reasons I choose to travel, so that was perfect. What I didn't expect, but Emily intuitively knew that I needed, was real, raw, down-to-earth, local experiences that have changed my worldview, permanently, for the better. We were fully immersed in the Guatemalan culture in the best way. I would recommend a trip with Emily to anyone!
