    Why choose a private Tanzania safari

    A private safari gives you your own vehicle and guide for the whole trip. You decide when to start, how long to stay at a sighting and when to stop for lunch, and the route is built around what you most want to see.

    Flexible routes

    Want an extra day in the Serengeti, a cultural visit at Lake Eyasi or a climb of Kilimanjaro? A private trip makes it easy. Every trip we run is private by default.

Questions about Private Safari

Private Safari: how many days do I need?

Our Private Safari trips run from 4 to 10 days, and most guests choose about 7. Fewer days mean more time on the road; more days let you slow down and stay longer where the animals are.

Private Safari: when is the best time to go?

The best time is All year. Every month has something, though, so read our guide to the best time to visit Tanzania before you choose your dates.

Private Safari: how much does it cost?

The price depends on the season, the number of people and the lodges you choose. We send a clear, all-inclusive proposal for your dates within 24 hours, and our guide to the cost of a Tanzania safari explains the main costs.

Private Safari: can I add Zanzibar or Kilimanjaro?

Yes. Zanzibar is about an hour's flight from Arusha or the Serengeti, and Kilimanjaro is an hour's drive from Arusha. See our Zanzibar holidays and Kilimanjaro routes.

Private Safari: is the trip private?

Yes. Every trip we run is private, with your own vehicle and guide, and we adapt the route, the lodges and the pace to you. Start with the trip planner or contact us.
