Game drive highlights

See animals in their natural habitat

Our rangers agree – no two drives are ever the same. Each outing is ripe with potential. Sometimes it will be a pack of African wild dogs trotting on the hunt and at others, it may be a lioness drinking at a waterhole with her cubs. It’s nature’s version of the lotto.

  • Get into the animal’s environment and see how they live.
  • Our highly trained guides and hosts will open your eyes and your mind. 
  • Uncover the fine balance between animals, their environment and conservation.
  • Witness the drama and majesty of predators and prey.

“Enjoy Open Roof 4×4 Vehicles, Vast Open Plains and Herds of Great Animals”

 Offers a unique opportunity for night game drives, allowing you to explore its enchanting landscapes after dark. As the sun sets, the park transforms into a vibrant hub of nocturnal activity. With the guidance of experienced rangers, you’ll embark on an adventure to spot elusive wildlife, including leopards, bushbabies, and various nocturnal birds. The thrilling experience of observing these animals in their natural habitat, under the starry African sky, creates unforgettable memories. Additionally, the sounds of the wilderness at night add to the excitement, making the night game drive in Lake Manyara a must-do for every wildlife enthusiast.

Early to rise and early to bed

Game viewing is at its best around dawn and dusk. On a typical day, the first game vehicle leaves camp before the sun is up and the second drive heads out into the wilds in the late afternoon. Use the downtime in between drives to relax in the pool, or have a nap before heading out again. The blazing orange and red beauty of an African sunrise or sunset is something one never forgets.
 

Respect for the wild

Safety is always a priority when out on a game drive. At times your guide may ask you to remain quiet, calm, stay seated and keep your limbs inside the vehicle. It is also important to resist the urge to reach out and touch a curious creature that has approached the party for a closer look.

Guided Safari Tours in Tanzania: Benefits and Options

Guided safari tours in Tanzania offer numerous benefits, particularly for those unfamiliar with the local environment. Professional guides, often with in-depth knowledge of wildlife behavior and park history, enhance the safari experience by providing informative insights and ensuring a safe and fulfilling adventure. Guided tours are available in a variety of formats, including private, small group, or luxury experiences, offering flexibility and tailored itineraries. With local expertise, travelers gain access to hidden gems and the best wildlife viewing opportunities. Additionally, guides help navigate the diverse parks, ensuring you don’t miss out on key wildlife sightings.

Self-Drive vs. Guided Tours: Pros and Cons

  • Self-Drive Tours:
    Pros: Self-drive safaris provide a sense of freedom and adventure, allowing you to explore at your own pace. With a rented 4×4 vehicle, you can customize your itinerary and decide how long to spend at each location. They are often more affordable than guided tours, making them appealing for budget-conscious travelers.
    Cons: Driving in Tanzania’s national parks can be challenging, particularly on rugged roads, and the risk of getting lost is higher without a local guide. Self-drive tourists may miss out on expert wildlife knowledge and may not be able to spot animals as easily as a trained guide.

  • Guided Tours:
    Pros: Guided tours offer expert insight, better wildlife sightings, and the convenience of not having to drive yourself. With a guide, you’re more likely to spot elusive animals and learn about the ecosystem in greater detail. They ensure a smoother experience and handle logistics like permits and park entry.
    Cons: Guided tours are generally more expensive and less flexible, as you’re often part of a group itinerary.

Combining Safari Tours with Beach Vacations in Zanzibar

Many travelers choose to combine a wildlife safari in Tanzania with a relaxing beach vacation in Zanzibar, creating the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. After an exciting safari in Serengeti or Ngorongoro, you can unwind on Zanzibar’s white-sand beaches, enjoy water activities like snorkeling and diving, or explore its historic Stone Town. Combining both experiences allows you to experience the best of Tanzania’s wildlife and coastal beauty, offering a well-rounded vacation that caters to both thrill-seekers and those seeking leisure.

Combining Safari Tours and Mountain Trekking

The Ultimate East Africa Adventure For travelers seeking an all-encompassing adventure in East Africa, combining safari tours with mountain trekking offers the ultimate way to explore the region’s diverse landscapes. After immersing yourself in the rich wildlife of Tanzania’s Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater, you can embark on a thrilling trek up Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. A trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro offers awe-inspiring views and a sense of accomplishment, making it a perfect complement to a wildlife safari. Alternatively, Mount Meru or the active volcanoes of the Great Rift Valley provide equally stunning trekking experiences for adventurers. This combination allows you to experience both the wild beauty of East Africa’s wildlife and the challenge of high-altitude trekking.

Cross-Country Wildlife Adventures in East Africa

East Africa is a region blessed with a wealth of natural beauty and wildlife. Combining cross-country wildlife safaris lets you explore multiple countries in one trip, maximizing the diversity of wildlife experiences. For example, after a safari in Tanzania’s Serengeti or Tarangire, you can cross over to Kenya’s Maasai Mara to witness the Great Migration or enjoy more intimate encounters with the Big Five. You could also explore Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for a gorilla trekking experience or venture into Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park. Cross-country safaris offer a dynamic, multi-faceted adventure that showcases the best of East Africa’s wildlife, from lush rainforests to vast savannas, ensuring that travelers see more of this extraordinary region.
Planning Your Trip to Tanzania
Planning a trip to Tanzania for a wildlife safari involves a few key steps to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Here are some essential travel tips to help you prepare:
Visa Requirements and Vaccinations
Most travelers to Tanzania will need a visa, which can be obtained either online through the eVisa portal or on arrival at the airport. It’s essential to check the specific visa requirements for your country of residence. Additionally, certain vaccinations are recommended before traveling to Tanzania, including Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, and Malaria prophylaxis. Consult with a travel clinic or your doctor well in advance to ensure you’re properly vaccinated.
Packing List and Safari Gear Recommendations
Packing for a Tanzania wildlife safari requires attention to comfort, practicality, and the region’s climate. Essential items include lightweight, neutral-colored clothing for safaris (to blend in with wildlife), a wide-brimmed hat, sturdy hiking boots, and sunglasses. Don’t forget sunscreen, insect repellent, and a camera for capturing the wildlife. A good pair of binoculars and a daypack are also highly recommended. If you’re trekking or camping, ensure you bring gear suitable for various weather conditions, including layers for cooler evenings and mornings.
Best Time to Book Tanzania Safari Packages for 2025–2026
The best time to book your Tanzania safari package is well in advance, especially for the peak seasons of June through October, when wildlife sightings are at their best. Booking 6–12 months before your desired departure gives you the best chance of securing accommodations and tours that match your preferences. For those looking to experience the Great Migration, plan your safari for mid-year, while the green season (November to May) offers a quieter, budget-friendly option. Booking early ensures you get the most favorable prices and availability.
Budgeting for Your Tanzania Wildlife Safari: Costs and Considerations
The cost of a Tanzania wildlife safari can vary greatly depending on the package type, length of the trip, and level of accommodation. Budget-friendly safaris typically start around $200–$300 per person per day, while luxury safaris can range from $500 to $1,500 per day or more. Costs include park fees, accommodation, meals, and guide services. Additional expenses might include international flights, travel insurance, tips for guides and staff, and optional activities like hot air balloon rides or cultural tours. It’s important to consider these factors when budgeting for your trip.
