The experience
This is not a sit-by-the-pool safari.
It’s sunrise game drives across the Serengeti plains, tracking big cats at golden hour, and ending the day around the fire under open African skies.
We’ll move through some of East Africa’s most wildlife-dense landscapes in search of lions, elephants, cheetahs, and migrating herds.
Designed for travelers who want immersion, not just observation.

What makes a Run From Routine safari different
Guidance Every Step of the Way
This isn’t a trip you book and navigate alone. From the moment you join, I’m with you — before departure and on the ground in Tanzania. We’ll be in communication leading up to the trip to ensure you feel fully prepared, confident, and excited. Once we arrive, we experience it together — from sunrise game drives to our final evening under African skies.
Curated, Like-Minded Community
Group chemistry matters. I intentionally curate a group of curious, open-minded travelers who genuinely want to be there. Every safari I’ve hosted has ended with new friendships that extend far beyond the trip itself.
Seamless & Stress-Free
Once you arrive, you don’t need to think. The logistics, the pacing, the transitions — it’s all handled. You show up ready for adventure, and everything else is taken care of.
One-of-a-Kind Touches
I pride myself on designing experiences that feel intentional and personal. Along the way, I weave in small, thoughtful surprises — the kind of details you wouldn’t find in a standard safari itinerary — that make the trip feel uniquely ours.
Refined Through Experience
Having sold out three Tanzania safaris in the last two years, I understand what it takes to make not only a safari exceptional — but a group experience truly special.
Itinerary Overview
December 8 — Arrival in Tanzania
Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), where transfers will be waiting. We’ll gather for a welcome dinner to meet one another and set the tone for the week ahead before an early night. In the morning, we fly into the Serengeti and adventure begins!
December 9–10 — Southern Serengeti
After breakfast, we’ll hop on a short charter flight into the southern Serengeti. These first two days are all about getting into the safari rhythm—early mornings, long game drives, and golden hour sightings.
December 11–13 — Northern Serengeti
Midweek, we’ll head north to explore a completely different part of the Serengeti. The landscape changes, the wildlife shifts, and every drive feels different. We’ll have extended game drives, a night safari, and a village visit to connect with the local community (one of my favorite parts of the whole trip).
December 14 — Departure
We’ll charter back from the Serengeti to the city, where everyone begins their journey home.

FAQs
What airport will we be flying into?
We will fly into and out of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (JRO Airport).
Will I have phone service or WiFi?
Wifi will be available at all accommodations.
If you have an international service plan or purchase an eSim for the trip, you may have service at times. However, keep in mind that for the majority of this trip, we will be in the middle of the Serengeti so phone service will be spotty.
Do I need a visa?
Yes. You will need a visa to enter Tanzania. This can be purchased online prior to the trip.
Can I come solo?
Absolutely! This is one of the best types of trips to join solo. The group is intentionally curated and everyone is doing the full experience together.
Are payment plans available?
Yes — payment plan options are available and shared once you inquire.
What’s needed to reserve my spot?
A deposit secures your place. Full details are included in the info packet shared after inquiry.
Is the Hot Air Balloon Safari included?
No — the Hot Air Balloon Safari is an optional experience and is not included in the trip price.
Pricing is typically $500–$600 USD per person and includes the sunrise flight and champagne bush breakfast.
