Explore Africa your way. Our custom-designed Tanzania Private Safaris provide you the freedom, flexibility and an unforgettable experience of one of the world’s greatest safari destinations. At Tanzaniatrail we believe that every traveller deserves a safari that matches their interests, travel style and personal dreams. Our private safaris provide an exclusive and personal experience for whatever you’re looking for, whether it’s a romantic honeymoon, a family holiday, a photography expedition, a luxury escape or your very first African adventure, allowing you to discover Tanzania at your pace.

With our Tanzania Private Safaris, you will have the privacy of your safari vehicle, a highly experienced professional driver-guide and an itinerary designed especially for you, not a scheduled group tour. You don’t have to follow someone else’s itinerary or give up what you want in a trip. Each day has been planned around your interests, allowing you to spend more time watching wildlife, stopping for photography, enjoying scenic viewpoints or just relaxing and soaking up the beauty of Tanzania’s incredible landscapes. This flexibility ensures a more comfortable, enjoyable and rewarding safari experience from start to finish.

Tanzania is widely considered one of Africa’s top safari destinations, with great wildlife, spectacular scenery and some of the continent’s most famous national parks. Our Tanzania private safaris will take you deep into these incredible landscapes where unforgettable wildlife encounters are waiting for you around every corner. From huge open plains and volcanic craters to ancient forests, sparkling lakes and towering mountains, each destination reveals a different aspect of Tanzania’s natural beauty.

The world-famous Serengeti National Park continues to be the highlight of many of our private safaris. The Serengeti covers nearly 15,000 square km and has one of the largest concentrations of wildlife on the planet. Visitors can see the spectacular Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebra cross the plains in search of fresh grazing with predators in hot pursuit. There are lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles and hundreds of species of birds all year round, so no two game drives are the same, and all are unforgettable.

Another iconic destination found on many of our Tanzania private safaris is the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater. This huge volcanic caldera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is often called Africa’s Garden of Eden because of its incredible wildlife density and stunning scenery. The descent to the crater floor is one of Africa’s best opportunities to find the mythical Big Five in one game drive while enjoying the magnificent scenery of lush forests and steep crater walls.

Another favourite of our guests is Tarangire National Park, which offers a completely different safari experience. Tarangire is known for its ancient baobab trees and has one of East Africa’s largest elephant populations. It offers superb wildlife viewing year-round. During the dry season the Tarangire River becomes the main water source for thousands of animals, attracting elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, impala and an amazing variety of birds. A hidden safari treasure of Tanzania, with fewer visitors and its peaceful atmosphere.

Along with the wildlife, our Tanzania Private Safaris also give you a chance to experience the country’s extraordinary cultural heritage and varied landscapes. Visit the beautiful village of Materuni on the foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro, walk through lush coffee plantations, admire the stunning Materuni Waterfalls and experience a traditional coffee-making experience with the Chagga people. Discover the wilderness of Lake Natron, where the majestic Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano is located and one of the planet’s largest breeding grounds for lesser flamingos. Experience authentic village life with the Hadzabe Tribe, one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer communities in Africa, or the Datoga Tribe, famous for their traditional blacksmithing skills and rich cultural traditions. More than just the amazing wildlife, these authentic encounters give you a greater awareness of Tanzania.

The biggest advantage to booking a private safari is knowing your personal guide. Tanzaniatrail’s professional safari guides are passionate about sharing their knowledge of Tanzania’s wildlife, ecosystems, history and culture. They have years of experience in the country’s national parks – knowing just where to find wildlife, how to place the vehicle for the best photo opportunities and how to create a relaxed safari experience that fits your interests. Whether you are searching for elusive leopards, observing families of elephants, identifying species of birds or learning about animal behaviour, your guide will make every game drive an enriching experience.

We know that being comfortable on your safari is important, so we handpick accommodation to suit your preferred style of travel. Whether you opt for comfortable mid-range lodges, charming tented camps or luxurious safari lodges with views to die for, all property is carefully selected for quality, hospitality, exceptional service and excellent locations. Many of the accommodations offer spectacular views over sunrises and sunsets, delicious cuisine, swimming pools and the opportunity to relax whilst being surrounded by the sights and sounds of the African wilderness.

Our Tanzania private safaris cater to all types of travellers. Romantic bush breakfasts, sunset game drives and unforgettable moments together under the African sky for couples. Families love the freedom of travelling at their own pace and making memories that will last a lifetime with amazing wildlife experiences. Wildlife photographers are able to enjoy long game drives and the luxury of additional time to observe animals in ideal lighting conditions. Solo travellers get personalised attention, security and total independence, while groups of friends can share unforgettable adventures in total privacy.

Many travellers also choose to combine their private safari with a relaxing beach holiday on the exotic island of Zanzibar. Following days of exploring the spectacular wilderness of Tanzania, Zanzibar is the perfect place to chill out on powder-white beaches and swim in the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. You can snorkel or scuba dive, sail on traditional dhow boats or just sit back and relax under swaying palm trees and watch breathtaking sunsets. This mix of world-class wildlife and tropical island escape makes for one of Africa’s most rewarding travel experiences.

At Tanzaniatrail we understand that planning a safari is about creating memories for a lifetime, not just choosing destinations. From the first inquiry until the day you leave, our dedicated team works hand in hand with you to create a customised itinerary tailored to your interests, travel dates, accommodation preferences and budget. We expertly operate each journey with authentic Tanzanian hospitality and meticulously plan it to ensure that each guest has an unforgettable adventure from beginning to end.

Discover the Heart of Africa on an unforgettable private safari journey tailored just for you.
