Why book with a local Tanzania tour operator?
We live in Arusha, the starting point for northern Tanzania safaris and Kilimanjaro climbs. You deal directly with the people who plan and run your trip, with quick replies and local knowledge of parks, lodges and seasons.
How much does a Tanzania safari cost?
Our shared group safaris start from $190, private safaris from $990 and Kilimanjaro climbs from $1,360 per tour as listed. See our safari cost guide or ask for a free quote.
What is included in the safari price?
Our safaris usually include a 4×4 safari vehicle with a professional guide, park entry fees, accommodation, meals as listed, drinking water and game drives. International flights, visas, travel insurance, tips and alcoholic drinks are not included. Each tour page shows exactly what is included.
Should I choose a private or a shared safari?
A private safari gives you your own vehicle and guide, so you choose the pace and the route. A shared group safari is a good-value choice for solo and budget travellers, who join other guests on a set itinerary. See all our safaris.
How many days do I need for a safari?
Most first-time visitors choose 4 to 7 days, which is enough for Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Short on time? Our 2- and 3-day safaris from Arusha still include the Ngorongoro Crater.
When is the best time to visit Tanzania?
June to October is the dry season with excellent game viewing. January to February is calving season in the southern Serengeti. Read our best time to visit guide.
Can I combine a safari, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar?
Yes. We plan combined trips, for example a Kilimanjaro climb, then a safari, then a few days on a Zanzibar beach, all in one itinerary.
Do I need a visa for Tanzania?
Most visitors need a visa. Read our Tanzania visa and entry guide for the details.
