Tanzania Tours & Trips
Think about Arusha National Park, where you can see wild animals eating next to you, or Tarangire, where you can see baobab trees and groups of elephants. You might wander through the misty Ngorongoro Forest, or perhaps visit Lake Eyasi and the Hadzabe people. They're among the final tribes in Africa who still rely on hunting and gathering for sustenance. Watch in awe as the amazing Great Wildebeest Migration thunders across the Serengeti.

We throughly enjoyed this safari, operated by Zara, who are, I believe, a sister company of World Adventures. From the moment were met at Kilimanjaro Airport, we were taken good care of. The tourist class hotels on the route were charming, with friendly, helpful staff and good facilities for our short stays. They provided packed lunches which, with the exception of the first day, were adequate and welcome, as there are limited facilities in the parks (although good coffee is usually available). The safari itself exceeded all expectations, with the beauty of the parks and the abundance and proximity of animals being so much better than other safaris we’ve taken. The jeeps used by Zara are due an upgrade and ours had jammed windows and lacked several working seatbelts. However, this wasn’t an issue for us as there were only the two of us in the jeep. Furthermore, the jeep was reliable, and well maintained and driven by Zamo, who was very professional constantly endeavoured to ensure that our safari experience was full of wonderful moments. Throughout, we felt safe and well looked after by an efficient company that has great expertise.

Excellent tour. We saw all animals we wanted to see. Experienced guide. Top organisation. We could even change our last day in order to visit the Hadzabe, which was very amazing.
PRIVATE Wildebeest Calving Safari, Tanzania, January to March **Sustainable Approach to Travel - MG
Martina • traveled in February, 2026
Our safari in Tanzania with Zara Tours was outstanding from beginning to end. Shaban welcomed us at the airport and guided us through Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro with incredible skill. His sharp eye helped us spot elephants, lions, hyenas, buffaloes, antelopes, and the rare rhinos in Ngorongoro, which were a highlight. Before the trip, Zayina made planning easy with clear communication and guidance during the pandemic. The accommodations were comfortable, exceeded expectations, and offered excellent meals. We highly recommend Zara Tours.

Best tour companies for Tanzania tours
Several tour companies run solid Kilimanjaro climbs and Serengeti safaris, each with their own strengths. Our travelers consistently give high marks to G Adventures, particularly noting guides like Gerald Godfrey who really know their routes and terrain. The Lemosho route through World Adventure Tours gets lots of positive feedback - their guide Brighton makes a real difference, and you get to stay at nice spots like Springlands Hotel between trek days. If you're watching your budget, Almighty Kilimanjaro tends to run more affordable trips - their guide Justice leads groups up the Machame route with careful attention to each climber's pace and needs. The summit views are especially good at sunrise when the weather cooperates. We've had mixed feedback about Intrepid's Kilimanjaro programs - while the actual climbs go well, a few of our customers mentioned issues with airport pickups not arriving as scheduled. For Serengeti safaris, OneSeed Expeditions runs excellent private tours - their guide Saleh knows exactly where to spot wildlife, and the Ang'ata bush camps provide comfortable beds after long days exploring the plains. I should mention that guide availability can vary by season, so while we've had great experiences with the specific guides named here, you might work with different but equally qualified leaders depending on when you travel.
Best places to start your Tanzania tour
Most Tanzania trips start from either Arusha or Moshi, with 34 and 33 departures each week, and they're perfect jumping-off points for safaris and Kilimanjaro climbs. Another 27 tours begin at Kilimanjaro International Airport. Our booking patterns show you should lock in your plans about 132 days ahead - that's roughly 4.5 months - to get the dates and places you want. This really matters during peak wildlife seasons when the nicest lodges fill up fast. Our travelers say they're impressed by the accommodation and food quality, even in remote spots; you get comfort while staying right in the middle of the action. For Kilimanjaro, we suggest taking at least 6 days to climb so your body can adjust properly. Many people pair their mountain trek with a few days watching elephants in Tarangire National Park or seeing flamingos paint the sky pink at Lake Manyara in the late afternoon light.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Nature puts on quite a show in Tanzania's winter months from December through March - it's prime time to see wildebeest calving in the southern Serengeti. Our 7-8 day safaris take you right where thousands of calves take their first wobbly steps, often just minutes after being born. The action gets intense with predators following the herds closely. We've designed routes combining Lake Manyara's unique wildlife with extended time in Ndutu, where our guides know exactly which spots give you the best views of new calves. Our travelers love staying in mobile camps that put them in the middle of everything - they often tell us how the resident lions and cheetahs become much more active during this season.

The long rains start in spring, but this actually creates ideal conditions for both Kilimanjaro climbs and wildlife viewing. Our 8-day Lemosho Route trek makes good use of the clear morning skies, while afternoon cloud cover gives nice shade during the steeper parts. Safari tours during these months spend extra time in Ngorongoro Crater where animals gather near permanent water and the grass stays green. Our guides are particularly good at finding big cats this time of year - they know which kopjes (rock outcrops) the lions use to stay dry and also where to spot leopards lounging in fever trees along the drainage lines.

- Summer 2026
Summer is all about the northern Serengeti where our 6-7 day safaris put you in perfect spots to watch the dramatic river crossings. You'll spend plenty of time at key points along the Mara River watching massive wildebeest and zebra herds make their risky dash through crocodile-filled waters. Our clients often mention how the guides seem to know exactly when and where crossings will happen, getting them in position just before the action starts. Many routes combine this with time in Tarangire National Park where big elephant herds gather along the river. It's also a popular time for Kilimanjaro climbs, with the Machame Route offering good conditions and high success rates for reaching the summit.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall gives you perfect conditions to combine Kilimanjaro climbs with wildlife viewing. Many travelers pick the Marangu Route since the mountain huts provide good shelter during occasional autumn storms. Our clients regularly tell us how much they value our guides' timing - starting at midnight for the summit push gets you to the top right as the sun rises over the crater rim. Safari-goers get the bonus of smaller crowds while still seeing plenty of action as animals cluster around the shrinking water sources. Many fall trips include stops at local villages where you can try traditional crafts and share meals with community members.
