Family African safaris in Tanzania offer a variety of activities and adventures for everyone. You will have the opportunity to nurture your children’s curiosity when they learn about the ecosystem, where humans and nature coexist in harmony, in a fun and interactive way.
Honeymoon Safaris
A Tanzania honeymoon safari ticks that ‘something special’ box for sure. How could there be a better way to kick off your marriage? National parks of astonishing scale, five-star lodging along pristine, white-sandy beaches, and safari destinations under open skies, Tanzania’s charm will strike the perfect chord.
Active Safaris
Are you looking for an active Tanzania safari trip? Do you dream of exploring Tanzania outside of a safari vehicle? This incredible country offers thrilling active walking, biking and trekking adventures that get you out of the land cruiser and give you the opportunity to explore the wilderness and meet local communities on a much deeper level.
Safaris for Seniors
African safaris tours for seniors are now an increasingly popular trend and we couldn’t be more delighted. Even if you are in your late seventies or eighties, there is always something Tanzania has to offer. While some may think that an African safari is far too adventurous for the older generation, we simply have to disagree.
Photography Safaris
Tanzanian photo safari might just be the place to be. You will have many opportunities to explore with your camera, with all the beautiful locations, ranging from national parks such as Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, to historical sites and culturally significant areas.
Solo Travelers
For all the independent globetrotters out there, this one’s for you! While there’s a common perception among travelers that safaris are meant for honeymoons or special occasions, an African safari is also the perfect solo trip. Unlike traveling alone in cities, which requires figuring out everything from how to get around to where it’s safe to walk alone at night, on safari, everything is taken care of.
SAFARI F.A.Q

A wildlife guide, who is also your private driver, will accompany you. If you choose a camping safari, you will also travel with a chef, who will prepare all of your delicious meals while in the bush.
All of our safaris are private, or group joined fully customized tours in your own vehicle/group shared Vehicle as some people like budget sharing according to what their capable of. We never combine groups of independent travelers to form larger groups.
Accommodation options range from private luxury lodges and tented camps to basic adventure camping. From least expensive to most expensive you can expect the following range of options: basic adventure camping in pitched tents, mid-range lodges, mid-range tented camps (permanent and mobile), high-end lodges and camps. The difference between a lodge and a tented camp is a lodge is a more traditional room with solid walls while a tented campsite consists of large, luxury tents, situated on a platform, with real beds and en-suite toilets and shower.

On a basic, adventure camping safari, guests and staff sleep in private tents in designated campsites in or near the parks. Our staff set up the camp and prepare all meals. Facilities include shared showers, toilets, and kitchen facilities. Some campsites have hot water in the showers. There are two types of basic camping facilities: public camps with shared facilities; and private/special camps where all gear, including toilets, showers, and cooking facilities, must be hauled in by the tour operator. All camping must be in designated campsites; it is illegal to camp outside of designated areas
We recommend getting an early start each morning in order to maximize your time on game drives and to have the opportunity to witness animals at their most active time, which is usually before the sun gets too high in the sky. Thus, we suggest an early morning breakfast, followed by a morning game drive. With a very early morning departure, breakfast boxes can be arranged also. Depending on your day’s itinerary, lunch will be either a boxed lunch eaten at a picnic site, or you might return to your lodge or camp for a hot lunch. Typically, you will spend the afternoon on a game drive, departing the park before sunset, returning to your camp or lodge for sundowners, bush tea, and a relaxing dinner. Activities such as bush walks, night game drives, hot air balloon rides, canoeing, and cultural visits will be arranged according to your itinerary. We work closely with you to arrange your day the way you want.
