Why private safari

A private safari gives you room to travel properly

On a private safari, you are not fitting into a fixed group departure. You have your own guide and vehicle, which means the trip can be planned around your group, your travel dates, and what you most want to see.

We plan private safaris across northern Tanzania, including Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, and Zanzibar extensions.

This works well if you want:

  • A private guide and vehicle for your group only
  • More flexibility than a set group tour
  • Help choosing lodges or tented camps
  • A route that makes sense for the month you travel
  • Clear advice before you commit to a booking

Best time to travel

The best route depends on your travel month

Tanzania works year-round, but the best route changes with the season. The Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Zanzibar each work differently across the year.

We help you choose a route that makes sense for your dates instead of forcing every traveller into the same itinerary.

Questions

Private Tanzania safari FAQ

How far in advance should we plan a private Tanzania safari?

For peak travel months and Great Migration areas, planning several months ahead is best. Short-notice safaris may still be possible depending on accommodation availability.

Can the itinerary be adjusted?

Yes. The examples on this page are starting points. We can adjust routing, number of nights, accommodation level, internal flights and Zanzibar extensions.

Is a private safari better than joining a group?

A private safari gives your group its own vehicle, guide and schedule. This is usually better for families, couples, photographers and travellers who want more flexibility.

Do you include Serengeti and Ngorongoro?

Yes. Most private northern Tanzania safaris include Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, often combined with Tarangire or Lake Manyara depending on the route.

Can we add Zanzibar?

Yes. Many travellers combine a private Tanzania safari with a Zanzibar beach stay. We can include this in the proposal.

What information should we send first?

Send your approximate travel dates, number of travellers, preferred comfort level, budget range if known, and whether you want safari only or safari plus Zanzibar.
