You have absolute flexibility throughout your safari. If you want to cut an experience short and head to the pool, then that is up to you.
Thank you Arno for your patience and knowledge, the numerous emails and even Zoom calls! A safari isn’t a cheap holiday but we felt this was good value and more than met our expectations. Private safari vehicle and an excellent guide really made the trip for us plus a great variety of very comfortable accommodation. Overall my family were super happy with the safari and will talk about it for years I’m sure. Having found Arno and the Company I am sure we will book something else another year and I am very happy to recommend to anyone!Andrew | Private Tanzania Safari
Tanzania and Zanzibar have something unique to offer because you can conclude a dream safari with a tropical beach retreat. Tanzania safaris transpire on the popular northern circuit, with the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater as two of the many highlights. Or the wilder and more remote southern and western circuits, where you can experience unique landscapes and abundant wildlife with few other visitors on your private Tanzania safari. One of our travel experts can help you design the perfect journey for you.
The best time for your private Tanzania safari is – totally up to you! While many consider the dry season to be the best time to visit the country, you are flexible to choose your dates according to your preferences. The peak season offers best weather conditions for wildlife sightings while the shoulder and low season will provide you with a more secluded and personal experience.

Tanzania experiences two dry seasons. During the main dry season, from June to October, humidity is low, rainfall is minimal, and pleasant temperatures range from 20°C (68°F) to 30°C (86°F). It is the best time for trekking, walking and exploring some of Tanzania’s most secluded wildernesses as the parks are dry and accessible. A second dry season from January to February is a great time to see the wildlife and to snorkel or dive at Zanzibar.

The Green Season is a beautiful time to explore Tanzania’s wild landscapes. The air is clear, nature is green and lush, and the light is incredible. The short rains from November to December arrive in afternoon storms, which are unlikely to affect your journey. In comparison, during the long rains from March to May dramatic afternoon or evening thunderstorms can occur daily. The long rains coincide with the low season and it is a beautiful time to visit many northern parks that remain accessible year-round.
To travel alone is an opportunity to go at your own pace, choose what you want to do and live, learn, laugh and discover with the ones that you love best. View some of our sample itineraries start planning your dream private safari.

When you book a private Tanzania safari with us you can collaborate with one of our travel experts to choose the places where you want to stay.

Choose your travel companions
Private safaris enable you to choose your travel companions. Travelling as a couple may be more expensive, but travelling alone is certainly more romantic when on a honeymoon or another one of life’s special moments. In comparison, a group of friends can share the cost of a private safari. No matter the situation, a private safari allows you to enjoy the journey with those whom you love.
If you are looking for a more budget-friendly trip, you can join one of our small group safaris on the Northern Circuit.
Choose your itinerary
A private safari provides you with the flexibility to choose your start and finish dates, plus you can select where you want to go and for how long. One of our country experts would be excited to help you plan the perfect trip for you.
Choose your experiences
Select special experiences during your private safari. Choose a boat safari, a guided walking safari or for a magical moment, you could drift slowly over the savannah during a romantic hot-air-balloon safari.
Planning a private safari could not be easier thanks to the support you will receive from one of our country experts. They will be with you from the birth of the idea to the very end. Plus, they will take care of all the fine details to ensure that you enjoy an unforgettable Tanzanian safari.
Having read through our website, particularly our best time to go advice and our overview of Tanzania’s national parks, you can provide us with a summary of your ideal safari. A country expert will then offer you a number of suggestions of where to go, where to stay, how to travel and what type of activities to do along the way. During the safari, one of our experienced guides will not only drive you but supply you with a wealth of information throughout your safari.
Self-driving safaris are generally not recommended in Tanzania, due to the unfamiliar driving style, long distances between parks, and the difficulty of navigating in enormous national parks.
Private safaris are perfect for people with special interests. Birdwatching safaris, photography safaris, fly-in safaris and even wildebeest migration safaris are possible during a private safari. Whatever your passion, you will relish the freedom that comes with a private safari.
A photographer’s dream come true
A private safari allows you to be driven in your own 4×4 vehicle, with a roof hatch, wide windows and USB chargers by incredible guides who have years of experience in getting photographers into the right place, at the right time to compose a perfect storytelling photo. The best thing of all. You do not have to worry about other vehicle companions wanting to move on when you would prefer to wait for the perfect moment.
A birdwatcher’s paradise
Tanzania is a bird-watching paradise and an individually designed safari can be planned around your birdwatching goals and interests. You can hike the Udzungwa or Mahale Mountains to see incredible forest birdlife or visit Lake Natron to see ~2.5 million breeding flamingos or safari to Tarangire National Park to be amazed by the park’s ~500 bird species.
