PRIVATE TANZANIA SAFARIS – LUXURY, FLEXIBILITY & ADVENTURE

Tailor-Made Tanzania Safaris for Couples, Families & Friends

JOURNEY THROUGH TANZANIA WITH THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER MOST


A private safari in Tanzania offers the freedom to create a journey that is entirely your own—choosing when to travel, where to go, and who to share it with. Whether it’s a romantic Tanzania honeymoon, a family wildlife adventure, or a photography-focused expedition, a private safari ensures you travel as a true explorer, not a tourist. It’s an opportunity to share unforgettable moments and create lifelong memories in some of Africa’s most spectacular landscapes.

WHO SHOULD CHOOSE A PRIVATE TANZANIA SAFARI

Private safaris are ideal for travellers who want flexibility, exclusivity, and control over their itinerary.
They suit:

  • Families & Friends – Travel together and design your own pace.
  • Honeymooners & Romantics – Enjoy secluded lodges and intimate experiences.
  • Wildlife Photographers – Stay longer at sightings and capture the perfect shot.
  • Special Interest Travellers – From birdwatching to cultural encounters.

With a private safari, you decide when to linger at a leopard sighting, take an impromptu village visit, or relax by the pool.

WHERE TO EXPERIENCE YOUR PRIVATE SAFARI

DESIGN YOUR DREAM JOURNEY THROUGH TANZANIA & ZANZIBAR


Tanzania offers endless possibilities for personalised exploration.

  • Northern Circuit Highlights – World-famous Serengeti National Park, home to the Great Migration, and the Ngorongoro Crater, with its dense wildlife populations.
  • Southern & Western Wilderness – Remote gems like Ruaha National Park, Selous Game Reserve (Nyerere), and Katavi, where crowds are few but wildlife is abundant.
  • Tanzania & Zanzibar Combinations – End your safari with a luxury beach escape on Zanzibar, Pemba, or Mafia Island for the perfect bush-and-beach holiday.

Our safari experts will work with you to create a journey that reflects your travel style, pace, and passions.

Your safari can happen any time of year, depending on what you want to experience.

  • Excellent wildlife viewing.

  • Lush landscapes ideal for photography.
  • Fewer tourists for a more private experience.
  • Opportunities to see newborn wildlife.

PLANNING YOUR PRIVATE SAFARI

Our team of Tanzania experts will guide you from the initial idea to the moment you return home. We handle all logistics, from flights and park permits to accommodation and activities. During your trip, experienced safari guides ensure you’re in the right place at the right time for unforgettable sightings.

Note: We generally don’t recommend self-drive safaris due to the country’s vast distances, road conditions, and navigation challenges.

  • Lake Natron – Home to ~2.5 million breeding flamingos.
