Safari Experiences

Tanzania offers rewarding safari experiences throughout the year.

The best time depends on the parks you wish to visit, the wildlife experience you are hoping for and your preferred style of travel. Some periods are particularly popular for dry-season game viewing, while others offer greener landscapes, fewer visitors and distinctive seasonal wildlife experiences.

Tell us your preferred travel dates and we can help recommend a suitable safari itinerary.

This depends on how much you would like to experience.

A short safari to destinations such as Mikumi can be enjoyed within a few days, while a Northern Circuit journey covering Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro generally benefits from a longer itinerary.

For travellers wanting a more relaxed pace, multiple parks or a safari-and-beach combination, we recommend allowing additional time.

Yes. Private safari arrangements may be available for couples, families, friends and small groups who prefer greater flexibility and a more personalised experience.

A private safari can allow more control over your daily programme, game-drive pace and overall itinerary.

Shared safari options may also be available for selected journeys.

Safari accommodation ranges from comfortable lodges and tented camps to boutique properties and exceptional luxury safari retreats.

Your options will depend on the destination, season, availability and budget.

Tell us the level of comfort you prefer and we will help select accommodation that complements the experience you want.

No. Wildlife lives freely in its natural environment, and sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Season, weather, wildlife movement and natural behaviour all influence what you may encounter.

Part of the beauty of safari is that every game drive is different. Experienced guides use their local knowledge to provide the best possible wildlife-viewing opportunities during your journey.

We recommend travelling comfortably and practically.

Useful items may include lightweight clothing in neutral colours, comfortable shoes, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, binoculars, a camera, personal medication and a light jacket for cooler mornings and evenings.

Baggage restrictions may apply on light-aircraft safari flights, so we will advise you of any specific luggage requirements before departure.

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly if you are travelling during popular safari periods, school holidays or migration seasons, or if you have specific lodges in mind.

Early planning generally gives you a wider choice of accommodation and itinerary options.

However, last-minute safari arrangements may also be possible depending on availability.
