The ultimate Tanzania Safari experience

Picture a cheetah on the hunt, hundreds of thousands of hoofs thundering across the Serengeti plains, elephants bathing in the river and endless blue skies. This is Tanzania: the best safari country in Africa. If you want to embark on an authentic African safari, Tanzania offers it all: a unique mix of wildlife, landscapes and captivating cultures. National parks and game reserves cover almost 35% of the country, including Africa’s most famous park Serengeti. Three out of the seven natural wonders of Africa are also found in Tanzania. Amongst them is Mount Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater and the Great Wildebeest Migration – the largest overland migration on the planet. With all this on offer, if there is one country where you can experience the ultimate safari, it is Tanzania.

Accommodation during your stay

During your Tanzania Specialist safari, you will stay in beautiful lodges with full board. Each of the lodges is routinely examined by our local Tanzania Specialist staff members to ensure optimum quality every time. Our accommodation is often located in the midst of Tanzania’s best national parks. Expect beautiful views and wildlife from your private veranda. Hear the sounds of lions roaring and elephants trumpeting, all from the comfort of your luxury lodge in Africa.

What is a safari?

The word ‘Safari’ is the Swahili word meaning ‘long journey’. During a safari, people travel through the bush or jungle to discover beautiful nature and wildlife. Nowadays, a safari is known as a journey through African countries while visiting one or more nature parks. Safari drives in the parks, looking for wildlife, are also called ‘game drives’.

Luxury & Private Tanzania Safaris

Tanzania is a beautiful country of diverse landscapes ranging from imposing volcanic peaks to endless stretches of open plains to white sand beaches. From top to bottom and east to west, Tanzania offers an authentic East African safari experience: Big Five sightings, luxurious tented safari camps, and rich cultural encounters.

Home to famously large herds of migratory and resident wildlife, it’s also the setting for one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles: the Great Migration , a sight that attracts safari enthusiasts for its affirmation of life and timelessness.

In the north, beguiling icons like Mount Kilimanjaro , Ngorongoro Crater , and Serengeti National Park headline the “ Northern Circuit .” Nearby, the Rift Valley, and Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Park s reward with equally memorable landscapes and adventures.

At the country’s western border, in two forested pockets along Lake Tanganyika’s shore, you’ll find chimpanzees —the only place in all of Tanzania where you can trek to them.

Meanwhile, the country’s lesser-visited south is home to some truly wild tracts of remote wilderness. Step aboard a boat safari to ply the banks of the Rufiji River in Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) or join a research-integrated safari in reclusive Ruaha National Park .

Close out a safari on the coast by digging your toes into the powdery beaches of the Zanzibar Archipelago —”spice islands” that boast long, storied trading histories.

What to expect on a luxury Tanzania safari

For the most part, luxury safaris in Tanzania focus on game drives as the primary mode of wildlife viewing. Days are typically scheduled around an early morning and an afternoon drive. Sunset is observed with sundowners in-hand—a gin and tonic is the tradition—served in a scenic spot. Depending on your camp or lodge, a gourmet, multi-course dinner can be taken convivially with other guests, privately in your room or al fresco in the bush. After dark, you might gather round an outdoor fire, stargaze, enjoy a night game drive (depending where you are), lay out on a star bed, https://extraordinaryjourneys.com/itinerary/mount-kilimanjaro-climb/ or simply retreat to your room to rest for the next sumptuous day on safari.

Activities like hot air ballooning (in the Serengeti), guided bush walks , community visits , research participation (and so much more) add diversity to the day. Wonderfully, Tanzania also offers a host of adventurous options for safari-goers who want to explore on foot. Walking safaris , where you’ll sleep in minimalist but well-equipped fly camps , weave through untouched pockets of the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Highlands.

Tanzania FAQs

Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro is not difficult in its technicality. Supported by guides, you won’t carry more than a day pack and a supply of drinking water.

The challenge of summiting the world’s tallest, freestanding volcano are the rigors of altitude. Your fitness level, time spent acclimating and choice of route will directly affect your odds of summiting. However, it’s impossible to know how your body will react to altitude until you’ve got (hiking) boots on the ground.

Yes! Abundant wildlife and the Big Five will enthrall your children, bringing the story books and movies they know and love to life. That said, Tanzania safaris often involve being out on extended game drives and camps don’t always have swimming pools or a ton of other activities, which is why we tend to recommend the country for kids ages six and older.

If you want to go on safari with your littles under five (it’s totally possible!), connect with an Extraordinary Journeys family specialist who has taken their toddler out on safari for first-hand account.

Yes, malaria is present in Tanzania. When traveling to areas lower than 5,905 feet (1,800 meters) above sea level, the CDC recommends taking anti-malarial medication.

In Arusha, Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) is the main gateway to Tanzania’s popular Northern Circuit safari destinations, including Mount Kilimanjaro, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater.

At the coast, you’ll find Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) serving Dar es Salaam —Tanzania’s busiest international airport. Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) is located in Zanzibar , connecting the archipelago both domestically and internationally.

Kenya and Tanzania are equally wonderful places to experience a classic, East African safari.

In brief, Kenya scores points for accessibility, thanks to better infrastructure and a longer history of tourism. Its Maasai and Samburu cultural connections are also a visitor highlight.

Tanzania can be more expensive , and its destinations can be quite remote (not necessarily a bad thing!), meaning getting around can take a bit longer. For many, the appeal of the Northern Circuit is the clincher; Tanzania is home to icons like Mount Kilimanjaro, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.

For those who have the time, Tanzania and Kenya are easily combined on a single itinerary via direct flights connecting the Serengeti with the Maasai Mara .

The Great Migration is often presented as a map emblazoned with a clockwise circuit where wildlife cycles between Tanzania’s Serengeti in the south and Kenya’s Maasai Mara in the north, taking place between May and December. (If only!) In this oversimplified illustration of a complex phenomenon, wildlife is in the Serengeti from December to April.

As with anything that moves with the rhythms of nature, the Great Migration should be interpreted as a pattern rather than gospel. Still, there are some general guidelines for when and where to visit.

We explain it all in our Complete Guide to The Great Migration in Africa —have a read!

Mobile camps are lightweight, temporary safari camps that change locations (pre-selected) one or more times each year to “follow” the Great Migration. Since herd movements are unpredictable and weather-dependent, mobile camps aim to place guests closer to the front row of the action.

Mobile camps are designed to be nimble, so you won’t always find amenities like swimming pools, star beds, dedicated spa facilities or bathtubs, and running water.

However, this is not to say you’ll be roughing it. Expect swoon-worthy tents outfitted with comfortable beds, ensuite bathrooms with hot showers and flush toilets, and gourmet meals served in dining or lounge areas—all snug in a wilderness setting.

When is the best time to go on safari in Tanzania?

Tanzania’s high season runs from July to October and December to February, coinciding with the dry seasons when game is easier to spot. To avoid the crowds, consider traveling in January-early March, May, November and early December. You might experience light rain during the night, but the grass is the most beautiful shade of green. If you are traveling to western or southern Tanzania, June through October is best, as it can be very hot and humid the rest of the year.

Mid-March through April endure long rains in Tanzania, so be prepared for un-drivable roads and muddy, buggy conditions. During this time, camps in western and southern Tanzania close.

If you’re focused on the Great Migration, plan to visit the Serengeti from January to early March (hello babies and predator action set against a verdant green landscape—a stark contrast to the parched, water-starved dry season), in June/July or from late October to mid-December. (We will advise you on the best camp location based on the month of travel.) Bear in mind that weather patterns are changing across the world. Since the Migration is driven by the pursuit of plentiful grazing grounds and reliable water, it can affect the movement of wildlife.

Mount Kilimanjaro can be climbed year-round, but we recommend avoiding the wettest months: November, April and May.

What’s the average cost of a safari in Tanzania?

Speaking to the average cost of a Tanzania safari, budget itineraries can start as low as $300 per person, per night—but this is the bottom of the range for mass-market tourism. (We don’t recommend or sell these trips.)

Upmarket, luxury itineraries range from $1,000 – $1,500 per person, per night during peak season, with the most exclusive properties reaching $4,200 per person, per night. This rate is inclusive of accommodation, internal flights, and transportation, expert guides, game viewing drives (shared and/or private), gourmet meals, bar, laundry, park fees, and meet/greets at airports and airstrips.

You’ll need to budget for international flights, visas, gratuities, and incidentals.

For the best experience, we do not advocate going below $1,000 per person, per night for a luxury Tanzania safari. EJ safari specialists can help you determine where to splurge and where to save or explain how to stretch your dollar by traveling during the secret season . We can also recommend regions or travel styles that offer better value.

Is it safe to go on safari in Tanzania?

Yes, Tanzania is a safe, popular place to enjoy a safari, especially when your visit is organized by a reputable travel operator—like Extraordinary Journeys.

Traveling with EJ means every last detail of your bespoke Tanzania trip is taken care of. You won’t have to worry about things like getting to and from the airport or navigating public transit. Hosts and transportation partners will be anticipating your arrival, and our in-destination concierge will be checking in along the way. Our clients report feeling supported and taken care of.

We only work with reputable companies and operators, so we know you’re in good hands. What’s more, we lean into client feedback which means we’re constantly evaluating to ensure guest expectations were met, especially as they relate to safety and comfort. Ie: guides showed professionalism, drivers were reliable, vehicles and equipment were well-maintained, etc.

Personal safety in urban centers

Unlike a somewhat prescribed and insular safari experience (where most people you’ll encounter are guides, staff, or other guests), if your trip passes through an urban center ( Arusha and Zanzibar , for example), you may enjoy some self-guided leisure time. No place can be immunized against petty crime or crimes of opportunity, so exercise an awareness of your surroundings and use common sense. Take precautions to protect your belongings, especially valuables. Avoid walking alone at night, avoid demonstrations, and travel with authorized taxis.

If you’re ever unsure, connect with your in-destination Extraordinary Journeys concierge. We’re ready to support you, 24/7.

Wilderness safety

On safari, nature is unscripted. It’s vitally important that you listen to your guides and follow their instructions—on game drives and while on-property. You are, after all, on the home turf of some pretty impressive big game—predators included.

Safari game drives are generally very safe and inherently, vehicles offer a level of comfort and security. Walking safaris , fly camping and chimp trekking require some extra precautions, but when enjoyed in the company of experts, is also quite safe. It’s also important to keep in mind that guides must abide by various park rules. Some reserves limit visitor hours, some maintain you must remain in your vehicle (no walking). Such rules exist to keep you and the animals safe. Most guided wilderness excursions are accompanied by armed rangers. It goes without saying, never approach or attempt to touch wildlife.

On property, many safari camps are unfenced. This results in magical moments like elephants drinking from the swimming pool. It may also mean you need to be escorted to your suite after dark by a Maasai warrior. Note: a boundary-free concept is not always appropriate for young children. Your guide and lodging will offer safety briefings and orientations.

Health and safety

A safari will bring you through remote wilderness where medical facilities and supplies are limited. Camps and lodges can offer trained first aid assistance and help with common ailments, but serious emergency medical attention may require an evacuation. Included in every Extraordinary Journeys trip is AMREF Flying Doctors coverage, should you require access to more involved medical care. Regardless of the destination, we recommend that all clients purchase travel insurance. This should include a policy which would pay for evacuation to the United States, if needed. If you regularly take prescription medication (or may potentially require it), prepare to bring a sufficient supply with you. If you have a medical condition or chronic disease, you should visit your doctor to discuss any concerns.

Much of Tanzania’s land area falls under a malaria risk. The blanket advice is to take an antimalarial when traveling below 5,900 feet (1,800 meters) in elevation. (Here’s a helpful interactive map .) Choosing which preventative prophylactic is best for you should be done in consultation with a physician. Note: Tanzania has shown a drug resistance to Chloroquine.

Otherwise, the CDC encourages travelers to be up to date on all routine vaccines.

Are there travel restrictions or requirements for Tanzania?

U.S. citizens require a visa to enter Tanzania. The cost is $100, and we recommend obtaining it either in advance or upon arrival. (Bring cash.) You can also obtain an e-visa in advance. Simply present a printed copy of the approved “grant notice” to the immigration officer upon arrival. Your passport should be valid for a minimum of six months beyond the visa issuance date (or date of entry.) You’ll need at least one blank visa page. The visa is valid for 90 days

If you are arriving from a yellow fever endemic country (Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Congo or Ethiopia), you’ll need to show a vaccination certificate or waiver by your doctor.

What wildlife will I see on safari in Tanzania?

Lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and African buffalo all call Tanzania home.

The East African nation is a lion stronghold, with sightings in many national parks, but especially in the Serengeti , the Ngorongoro Crater , and Ruaha National Park . Cheetah and leopard can be spotted in the Serengeti, the latter favoring Nyerere National Park , too. Tanzania is also home to large herds of elephants, with productive viewing in Tarangire , Ruaha, and the Serengeti.

Giraffe (Maasai giraffe and Rothschild’s), zebra, and buffalo can also be found in parks across the country. Tanzania’s waterways are populated with bloats of hippo and crocodiles. And depending on the season, millions of wildebeest can be found touring the country during the Great Migration , alongside zebra and gazelle—and the predators who stalk them.

Who should go on safari in Tanzania?

Safari-goers of all spades will enjoy Tanzania.

First-timers will be enthralled by the vastness of its protected lands—almost 38 per cent of the country’s total land area—and the big game that roams here.

Though Tanzania is roughly half the size of Alaska, even a two-week visit would leave you scratching the surface. For this reason, it’s also a great destination for repeat safari-goers. If you’ve done the Serengeti, venture off the beaten path to lesser-known reserves. Visits to Katavi , Mahale Mountains , Ruaha, and Nyerere (Selous) national parks are so remote and wild, at times you’ll feel you’re the only one on safari.

For thrill-seekers, Tanzania’s varied terrains (from volcanic silt to powdery sand) are an invitation to play. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is an obvious choice, but a heart-pumping ascent of Ol Doinyo Lengai or embarking on the three-night Great Rift Valley Trek are thrilling adventures, too. Multi-day Tanzania walking safaris (with nights spent slumbering in fly camps) or shorter, one- or two-night fly camping experiences are active, outdoorsy options.

At the coast, Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia islands call to scuba divers with their coral-rich, warm waters that are frequented by sharks, whale sharks, rays, and turtles.

Where to go on a luxury safari in Tanzania

In our opinion, Grumeti Game Reserve (sitting adjacent to Serengeti National Park and playing an integral component of the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem) is the cream of the crop—one of the most unbelievable places in all of Africa. Faru Faru Lodge is a favorite contemporary camp.

If you’re not focused on the Great Migration, then we recommend visiting the northern Serengeti in the off-season (January to mid-March, June and November to mid-December). The scenery is simply spectacular and since most animals don’t migrate like the wildebeest, you’ll get uninterrupted time with resident wildlife like big cats and antelope herds. A few of our favorite camps in this area include Lamai Serengeti , Serengeti Bushtops , and Sayari Camp . 

Visiting the Ngorongoro Crater can get crowded at certain times of the year, yet it remains a sight to behold. We recommend Entamanu , an eco-camp situated near the rim in Maasai territory. (Pro tip: head out on game drives in the early morning rather than in the afternoon.)

We also love enjoying the slower safari pace at Chem Chem Lodge , secretly tucked between Tarangire and Lake Manyara.

If you have been to the Serengeti, consider a return trip to western or southern Tanzania. For something a bit more remote and off the beaten path, we love both Ruaha in the south (including Ikuka Safari Camp and Kigelia Ruaha ), as well as Mahale Mountains in the west, basing yourself at Greystoke Mahale for some of the best chimp trekking in Africa. 

It’s easy to add an extension to Zanzibar or Mafia Island for diving, snorkeling, fishing, or just plain relaxing after a busy safari. Zanzibar offers an array of beach activities such as diving, snorkeling, dhow trips and fishing. For more culture, you can explore Stone Town, go on a spice tour, or visit Jozani Forest for the colobus monkeys. For some beach time away from the crowds, The Manta Resort on Pemba Island is unmissable for its dose of barefoot beach luxury.

Client Testimonials

"You couldn’t have picked two better guides than the two we had. They were so knowledgeable about the animals, birds and plants we were looking at as well as the behaviors we should expect from the animals. The inclusion of the local tribes, the Maasi and others, was a great treat. We gained a true appreciation for the rigors the nomadic tribes have experienced for more than 1,800 years. Experiencing the culture of the local people was very important for us, in addition to the wildlife. I am amazed at the fact that Niamen and Henry speak 3 languages fluently. And as a bonus, we all learned a bit of Swahili while in Tanzania. Everyone, including the local people, were friendly and a happy folk!"

Anaheim, CA

"We were all very impressed with the accommodations, food, friendliness of the guides and staff, and trip! Kudos!"

"The trip far exceeded our greatest expectations. The camps could not have been better, and the staff was terrific: warm, understanding, and happy to meet all of our needs. All of our gides were outstanding—our kids absolutely loved them and they embraced the kids in the most positive ways. My youngest could not be separated from Victor; my son actually cried when we parted ways at the end of the trip!"

Larchmont, NY

"I found the operation and execution of the trip excellent. We always knew the times and schedule and were well prepared. The days were full and entertaining. The food was varied and excellently prepared. I loved the tent camping. Enough to feel pampered, but yet out in the wilderness. The hot water bottles were an excellent touch."

Allendale, NJ

"We loved the parks and animals, but our favorite part of the trip was getting to know the staff in the camps. They were, without exception, personable, informative, and fun to be around."

Redlands, CA

Friday Harbor, WA

"We really had the best of the best provided. A picnic in the middle of the Serengeti migration on the grass—wow, and we so enjoyed the champagne on the beach at Mnemba in Zanzibar!"

Huntington Beach

"All the guides—Henry and Arnold in Tarangire/Ngorongoro, and Victor and Mzee at Serengeti— could not have been better. Like other Wilderness Travel trips I have been on this was the best superlative I can give: the quality of the trip leaders and guides. I'm not sure how you get such good people. All were experienced, knowledgible about plants and animals plus ecology, as well as being kind, considerate and personable."

Lafayette, CA

"There isn't much I can think of that would make this trip better. We were taken care of by outstanding people, saw incredible sights, stayed in gorgeous places, and ate gourmet food. We were safe, well fed, slept well and had amazing experiences."

"The trip far exceed my expectations. I had a wonderful time and felt safe the whole time. I especially enjoyed the time in the camps. Victor and the staff made us felt so welcome."

Portland, OR

"Our Tanzania trip was absolutely out of this world! We never imagined we'd go on safari, and it exceeded all our expectations. The scenery and landscape and beautiful skies were fantastic. The unbelievable variety of animals we saw was awe-inspiring, and I'll never forget the wonderful umbrella acacia trees...especially the one with three lionesses in it! The staff at both camps were exceptional. I'll forever have their beautiful smiles and gentle manner engraved in my mind. And the kitchen staff were phenomenal! They served up the most delicious meals that were so artfully presented. Our two guides were both so knowledgeable, friendly, and just wonderful men all around. They located such a variety of animals, birds, and plants for us and explained everything in detail and with humor."

Durango, CA

"All the guides were wonderful; they made the trip for our family. Their depth of knowledge was amazing and their spirit kept us all positive and feeling safe."

"Words can't express what a trip this was. Our Tanzanian guide Naiman was simply amazing, he was like family by the time we left him after 10 days. Every day was an adventure and delivered a new thrill we didn't expect."

Trip Levels

With more than 200 different adventures to choose from, we want to help you find the trip that’s right for you. Our Trip Level system ranks each trip in two ways: a number rating from 1 to 6 according to the activity, and general travel rigors. 1 is the easiest and 6+ the most difficult—see descriptions below for explanations of each number. A plus (+) sign means the trip is a bit more strenuous than other trips of that level. The detailed explanation of each trip—below the bar with the number rating—is perhaps more important, specifying activities, altitudes, hiking, and travel conditions. The Detailed Itinerary, available by download or mail, gives further information. Our Area Managers can also answer questions and guide you to the trip that best suits your interests.

The safari was absolutely incredible. I travelled with my husband and three friends and all of us are in agreement that this was the trip of our lives! Our guide Manido is experienced, easygoing and an expert in tracking wild animals. He was keen to keep us happy and comfortable at all times and kept the 4x4 swanky clean. We saw so many different animals including thousands of wildebeest and zebras, elephants, flamingos, dozens of lions, cheetahs, hyenas, lots of buffalo and huge elephant herds. A big thank you to Manido for making our memories of Tanzania so wonderful.

After a Kili climb we went on Safari. The arrangements at the lodges and the experience of our guide, Peter, made the trip memorable and unforgettable. We recommend using Oneseed for Safari and letting them take care of all of the plans from a hot air balloon ride to birthday celebration. It was a wonderful experience all the way around. We so treasure the trip and seeing the animals in their natural environment.

7-Day Safari Camping Adventure in Northern Tanzania. After breakfast you will pick up at hotel or lodge depart Arusha at 8:30am en route to Lake Manyara National Park with a picnic lunch in hand. After a full-day game drive you will make your way to the Fanaka Campsite for dinner and your overnight stay.

Stretching for 50km along the base of the rusty-gold 600-metre high Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with a setting extolled by Ernest Hemingway as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa.” The compact game-viewing circuit through Lake Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience.

From the entrance gate, the road winds through an expanse of lush jungle-like groundwater forest where hundred-strong baboon troops lounge nonchalantly along the roadside, blue monkeys scamper nimbly between the ancient mahogany trees, dainty bushbuck tread warily through the shadows, and outsized forest hornbills honk cacophonously in the high canopy. Dinner and Overnight at Fanaka Campsite. 

Main Destination : Lake Manyara National Park

Day 2: Lake Manyara to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will start  to enjoy epic 7-Day Private Northern Tanzania Safari head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Leaving the highlands behind. Descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see.

Head to the Central Park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the Park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. We arrive in time for lunch at Nabi gate and enjoy the late 2hrs afternoon game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Dinner and overnight in the Seronera Nyani campsite.

Day 3: Central Serengeti game drive

Discover big game 7 Days – Across Northern Circuits Safaris. After breakfast, you will have  continuous with 7-Day Private Northern Tanzania Safari game viewing at Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti, Tanzania’s largest National Park, covers nearly 6,000 square miles of grassland plains.

 Central Serengeti’s Seronera Valley is a year-round game-viewing. With Savannah, kopjes, hills, woodlands, and River line forest systems serve as critical water sources. It’s often an excellent site for wildlife viewing.

Beyond the heralded migration of wildebeest and zebra, the Serengeti is best known for its big predators, including cheetah and Leopard, as well as large pride of Lions and clans of Hyenas and many animals, . Dinner and overnight at Seronera  Nyani Campsite.

Day 4 : Serengeti National Park

The  Serengeti offers superb game viewing all year round due to its abundance of resident animals. Specifically, the Seronera River Valley in the Central Serengeti is a ‘must see’ on every safari regardless of the specific month of travel for 7-Day Private Northern Tanzania Safari.  Game viewing in Central Serengeti is at its best during the dry season (June – November) as resident animals are more concentrated in the immediate area due to the lack of water on the plains. Resident herbivores include impala, buffalo, hippo, warthog, topi, hartebeest and giraffe. Resident carnivores include lion and leopard. Dinner and overnight at Seronera  Nyani Campsite.

Day 5:  Serengeti  to Ngorongoro Crater

It is the national park which herds of up to 300 elephants scrape the waterless river bed for alternative streams, while nomadic wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest, and eland mass the decrease lagoons.

It is the most attentiveness of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem – a smorgasbord for predators and the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared Oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly practical. The only national park that holds the migrant during the dry season and welcoming home of different species of animals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tanzania brims with safari park options, including the vast Serengeti National Park, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater and the wildlife-rich Tarangire National Park. Secluded in Tanzania’s remote southern reaches, the vast expanses of Ruaha and Nyerere (Selous) National Parks offer exceptional game viewing for travellers willing to venture off the beaten track. A journey to Tanzania also affords the opportunity to climb Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, while the island hideaway of Zanzibar invites guests to relax amid a beachfront paradise of sun, sand and surf.

The Great Migration is the largest animal migration in the world. Each year, more than two million animals (wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle) migrate in a clockwise direction across the ecosystems of the Serengeti (Tanzania) and the Masai Mara (Kenya). While this cycle continues throughout the year, the herds are mainly found in the Serengeti in Southern Tanzania from December through early March. April to May marks the season of long rains, when the herds begin their trek north across the central and western Serengeti, grazing hungrily as they go. From June to July, the herds are grazing their way through the Serengeti’s western corridor and continue to push north towards the Masai Mara.

While both destinations are known for their exceptional game viewing, Tanzania’s majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, coffee plantations, tropical coastline and island paradise of Zanzibar distinguish it from its neighbor to the north. Broadly speaking, Tanzania’s climate tends to be more tropical than Kenya’s, with more lush, green landscapes. Given their proximity and intersection of the Great Migration, these two countries are often combined into one journey.

Tourist Visas are required for U.S. and Canadian passport holders travelling to Tanzania. Secret of African Adventure recommends an Electronic Tourist Visa (eVisa). To apply online, visit eservices.immigration.go.tz/visa .

The term “Big Five” refers to the lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and Cape buffalo — Africa’s topmost predators, and must-sees on every safari adventure throughout Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and South Africa.

We recommend comfortable clothes made of natural, breathable fabrics. Plan to layer up or down as the temperature fluctuates. Neutral colors are best for game viewing, while black, navy blue and other dark colors tend to attract insects; leave camouflage at home, as it’s not permitted in game parks. Smart casual attire is appropriate for evenings, but formalwear is not necessary.

How to have a once-in-a-lifetime African safari on a (relative) budget

A n African safari is an experience like no other, so the planning and preparation is essential as it’s an adventure that most travellers will experience once, maybe twice, in their lives. A minority, bitten by the Africa bug, will keep going back. The point of a safari is to immerse oneself in a timeless landscape and watch nature unfold before your eyes at its own pace. So, what you need is a reliable, experienced operator to deliver you to the right part of the sprawling wilderness and, if you have a limited budget, to choose carefully the time and place of your safari. 

Good safaris are never cheap – and they can be astronomically expensive. For example, Zarafa, a Relais & Chateaux camp in Botswana’s Linyanti wilderness, can set you back up to $5,000 (£4,000) per person per night in peak season, as indeed can the equally extravagantly designed Mombo Camp, a little further south in the country’s Okavango Delta. And that is without international flights, park fees or local transfers being included in the price. So, a six-day safari staying at these camps could cost around £30,000. For this you will enjoy premium wines served in crystal glassware, eat cordon bleu meals, be waited on by white gloved staff and wallow in gigantic, ornately furnished accommodations fit for a Wall Street banker. And it is bankers, masters of the universe and European royals who one finds at these places.

For the rest of us, it’s about picking the right time of year – shoulder season rather than peak season – and choosing the best among the more affordable and modestly appointed camps. You’ll still have an unforgettable experience – after all, if your purpose is to spend as much time as possible out in the bush watching and photographing wildlife, you don’t need high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and first-growth clarets with your dinner. 

Here is my guide to the cost-conscious safaris in classic African destinations that will stir the soul without breaking the bank.

Kenya’s peak safari season is June to October when there is less rain and it’s not too hot. There are two rainy seasons in this equatorial country – the heaviest rains (called masika ) usually fall from mid-March to May/June and the shorter rains ( vuli ) occur in November and December. So, late May and early November are shoulder seasons and although these days there are no climate guarantees you should be fine, and it is certainly a most cost-effective time to visit Kenya.

Where to go

The most expensive and over-subscribed tourism event in the Mara is the Great Migration, where an estimated million and a half wildebeests and attendant predators move into the Mara in great waves from Tanzania’s Serengeti. It usually takes place between July and October, although wild animals do not adhere to homo sapiens’ timetables. Avoid. It is an over-crowded bun fight.

Also avoid the Maasai Mara National Reserve, where you invariably see tourist buses surrounding lion prides and stay, instead, in one of the private reserves that make up the Mara Conservancies. There are 15 such conservancies running along the northern border of the 1,500 square kilometre Maasai Mara National Reserve and together they take up a similar area (1,400 square kilometres), all of which have charming small lodges that offer a more private game-viewing experience. You will still experience the wildebeest herds and big cats, but these private reserves have a restriction on vehicle numbers around big cats (5), don’t let in self-drivers/buses, and allow you to head out on day and night drives, guided walks, and fly camp.

Offbeat Mara , for example, is a camp in the 74,000-acre Mara North Conservancy. It is small (five double tents and two family tents) and is set in a game-rich area far from any other lodge or camp. The Ultimate Travel Company (0203 603 5998) offers a six-night safari at Offbeat Mara (plus a night on arrival in Kenya at the Tamarind Tree Hotel in Nairobi) from £5,030 per person, including all flights, accommodation and transfers. 

Another fantastic option in the Mara North conservancies is Saruni Wild . It is one of the smallest camps in the area, with three spacious tented suites ideally suited to families of four. A special feature is Saruni’s Warriors Academy, an interactive safari which encourages youngsters to learn Maasai survival skills such as how to track wild animals, use a bow and arrow and build bush camps. Expert Africa (0203 405 6666) offers a six-night safari at Saruni Wild in November for £2,580 per person, including conservancy fees, safari activities, meals and drinks. It includes flights between Nairobi and Mara North but international flights from the UK – starting at around £500 return – need to be added.

Although the Maasai Mara is the most popular of the Kenyan safari destinations, there are many more areas that offer great game-viewing and safari experiences. For example, neighbouring Amboseli and Laikipia in the north.

Like the Maasai Mara, Amboseli National Park spreads across the Kenya-Tanzania border that is famous for its elephant population and is home to around 400 species of birds, including pelicans, kingfishers, hamerkops and 47 types of raptor. It is a photographer’s dream not the least because Mount Kilimanjaro is the constant backdrop.

Elewana Tortilis Camp is named after the flat-topped umbrella thorn tree that dominates the ecosystem. This is a 17-tent camp in a private conservancy bordering the park that offers game drives, walks, sundowners and bush meals both in the park and the conservancy. The Ultimate Travel Company (0203 603 5998) offers a six-night stay at Tortilis Camp for £5,015 per person, including international flights, all park fees and an overnight stay in Nairobi’s Tamarind Tree Hotel.

Further north, Ol Pejeta is a not-for-profit conservancy in central Kenya’s Laikipia County, between the foothills of the Aberdares and Mount Kenya. Abercrombie & Kent (0330 1734 712) offers six nights at Sanctuary Tambarare in Ol Pejeta, including international flights, transfers, conservancy fees and all game activities, for £4,418 per person. 

Tanzania boasts a vast wilderness but does not have the sophistication of Kenya, its East African neighbour, as a luxury safari destination. It does, however, have a similar seasonality, with the best shoulder seasons being late May and early November. 

Where to go 

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a wild area based around the famous crater of the same name, a massive volcanic caldera that includes the famous Olduvai Gorge, one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world, in its greater ecosystem. 

Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp is set on the rim of the crater which is home to a huge variety of animals including lion, jackal, cheetah, wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, hippo, elephant, and the elusive leopard. The camp has ten luxury safari tents. Each offers an en-suite bathroom with an indoor bucket shower. The main areas of the camp include a dining tent, lounge and bar with comfortable leather sofas, creating the perfect place to sit and relax with your favourite drink while soaking up the spectacular views. Abercrombie & Kent (0330 1734 712) offers a six-night safari that includes one night in Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania’s safari camps, two nights at Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp and three nights at Sanctuary Kichakani, an intimate mobile camp with 10 en-suite tents that’s based in the central Serengeti in June and July, the northern Serengeti from the end of July to November and the southern Serengeti from December to March. It costs £6,995 per person, including all flights, transfers, meals, drinks, park fees and safari activities.

Tarangire National Park is the sixth largest park in the country and is home to large herds of elephant and buffalo and a high concentration of big cats as well as wild dogs, kudu, oryx and gerenuks, as well as 550 bird species, many attracted to the park’s swamps. Oliver’s Camp is in the remote south-eastern section of the park, close to the game rich Silale Swamps. In April and May, at the end of the annual rains, the landscape is lush and dotted with wildflowers. From August until October, herds of antelope and zebras pass through Tarangire. At this time, the park has the highest concentration of mammals in the country. This 10-tent camp offers extreme comfort and terrific game drives day and night. The Ultimate Travel Company (02036 035 998) has a six-night package with three nights at Oliver’s and three nights at Ubuntu Migration Camp, an eight-tent mobile camp that moves according to the season and the location of the animals. The price is from £6,135, including all flights, transfers and safari activities. 

Ruaha National Park is, at 20,000 square kilometres, the largest protected area in East Africa. Ikuku Safari Camp sits in a prime position on the park’s escarpment and every lodge looks out over the plains below, a 20-minute 4x4 drive away. There are seven open-sided rooms, with large balconies and high thatched roofs to accommodate the breezes. Guided walks, 4x4 drives, bird-watching trails and hot-air balloon rides are on offer. Expert Africa (0203 405 6666) offer six nights full board at Ikuka Safari Camp in November for £3,437 per person, including internal flights and shared game drives. International flights from the UK and Dar es Salaam cost extra (around £800 return).

South Africa

Southern Africa’s peak season is June through to early September, when the bush is dry and sparse, and the animals are more dependent on major water holes and thus easier to find. So aim for the shoulder season: May into early June and late September and October. 

Inyati Game Lodge is located in the Western sector of the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve and like Nottens Bush Camp (see below) shares a common unfenced boundary with Kruger National Park, the country’s prime wildlife reserve. They have dense concentrations of wildlife, including elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, cheetah and giraffe, as well as a wide range of bird species. Inyati has 11 chalets as well as a library, filtered swimming pool, air-conditioned gym and walk-in wine cellar. Yellow Zebra Safaris (0208 547 2305 ) is offering a six-night full-board safari at Inyati Game Lodge for £3,990 per person including all transfers and game drives, but not international flights.

The Timbavati Private Nature Reserve is located at the border between Hoedspruit and Acornhoek, north of the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve on the western edge of Kruger National Park. Walkers Plains Camp has eight rooms(with private decks and plunge pool in the middle of Timbavati and with great views of the plains and the Drakensberg mountains in the distance. Lion, buffalo, rhino and elephant are in abundance. A little further south, in the Sabi Sands reserve, is Nottens Bush Camp, a 16-bed, family-run lodge with a 20-metre pool. Each suite leads onto a private wooden deck with a view of the bushveld. The Ultimate Travel Company (0203 603 5998) is offering an all-inclusive safari featuring three nights at Walkers Plains and three nights at Notten’s Bush Camp from £4,945 per person including flights from London.

Botswana’s peak season is also winter, so aim for April, May, early June or October for lower rates and generally good weather. Even more savings can be found in “green season” – January to March – when spotting wildlife is a little trickier due to the lush foliage. 

In northern Botswana and fed by floodwaters from neighbouring Angola, the Okavango Delta is an inland delta and one of the most beautiful and wildlife-rich areas in Africa. Mma Dinare (meaning Mother Buffalo in the Setswana language) has nine tents set among the knobthorn and leadwood trees adjacent to Moremi Game Reserve. From the camp you can take game drives, guided walks and mokoro boat rides when the water is high. Not only is the area game rich but there is abundant bird life here, such as fish eagles, slaty egrets, pygmy geese, southern carmine bee-eaters. Expert Africa (0203 405 6666) offers a six-night package for travel between November 15 and March 31 (excluding the Christmas season) for £2,376 per person, excluding international flights (a return from UK to Maun, Botswana’s tourism capital, costs about £1,100).

Little Sable, in the Khwai Private Reserve, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park, and with eight tents on raised decks overlooking the plains, is one of the best-value camps in the Delta. This vast reserve is shared by only a handful of camps, all owned by the same operator, Natural Selection, so the safari experience remains exclusive. Giraffe and antelope (kudu, lechwe, sable) are abundant; you’ll also see elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and wild dogs. Natural Selection (0027 2100 11547) has an all-inclusive, six-night safari with four nights at Little Sable and two nights at Hyena Pan, another eight-tent camp in the Khwai reserve, set in a grove of cathedral mopane trees overlooking a vast pan and with underground wildlife-viewing hides next to the water – a massive plus for photographers. For travel in April and November 2024, this six-night safari costs £4,220 per person, not including international flights. 

In the far north of the country is another major game-rich area: Chobe National Park, host to the largest elephant population in Africa, numbering at least 120,000. It is also known for massive herds of Cape buffalo, while lion, antelope and hippo inhabit the woods and lagoons around Linyanti Marsh. The Ultimate Travel Company (0203 6035 998) has a six-night package including three nights at Muchenje Safari Lodge and three nights aboard the Zambezi Queen, a luxury houseboat that cruises along the Chobe River, offering a unique game-viewing experience. The lodge, in the quieter western side of the park and with river views, has 11 thatched cottages. The Zambezi Queen has 14 luxury suites. The cost is from £5,240 per person, including all flights, transfers and safari activities. 

Another southern African country with peak season in the dry, cool winter months – June through September – so again shoulder seasons are cost effective, with April and May particularly recommended. Because of its well-publicised political problems Zimbabwe has somewhat fallen out of favour with British safari travellers. However, it is, for all its problems, a remarkably peaceful country, far more so than its southern neighbour South Africa.

Hwange National Park in the northwest is rich with game and has one of the largest elephant populations in Africa. Bumbusi Wilderness Camp is located in the Sinamatella area of the park and unlike the drier sandveld-based Hwange camps is set among evergreen trees and perennial springs. This habitat makes it attractive for predators such as lions and also for significant herds of elephant. Prices start at £395 per person per night, and Natural Selection (0027 21 001 1547) offers a five-day package for £2,675 per person  based on two sharing, or £1,970 per person based on four sharing, in April, May, November and December, including transfers but not international flights. 

Elsewhere in Hwange, The Hide is a popular lodge overlooking a busy waterhole and with ten tents, each with their own private veranda. Expert Africa (0203 405 6666) offers a six-night, all-inclusive safari at The Hide for £2,600 per person, not including flights from the UK to Victoria Falls (expect to pay around £800 return). 

Finally, Mana Pools National Park is located in the far north of the country, along the mighty Zambezi River. There are large populations of elephant, hippo, Nile crocodile and lion, and it is a great area for birders. Kavinga Safari Camp , beside the Ruckomechi River, has seven tents raised above the Zambezi Valley floor, while the Mana River Camp , another intimate operation with six tents, is right on the banks of the river. The Ultimate Travel Company (0203 6035 998) is offering a six-night package with three nights at Kavinga and three nights at Mana River Camp, from £5,085 per person, including international flights.
