The Red Moon departures are the rarest and most captivating. Scheduled around total lunar eclipses, these events cast a deep red or copper hue over the moon—a truly surreal sight when viewed from Tanzania’s highlands or open plains. In 2025, a total lunar eclipse (Red Moon) will take place on March 14. This once-in-a-year opportunity is perfect for adventurers and photographers who want to witness one of nature’s greatest shows in a pristine and wild setting.
Our group departures not only reduce costs through shared logistics but also foster unforgettable connections with fellow adventurers from around the world. With pre-set dates, professional guides, and thoughtfully planned itineraries, you can simply focus on soaking in every magical moment.
