Tanzania Safari Tour Reviews
- Northern Tanzania Safari. (Accommodation and Transport are Included.)
We spent seven days touring Tanzania with our amazing tour guide Moses. The trip was well organized and it turned out to be one of our best trips because we had an incredible time. Seeing different wildlife species on the game drives with Moses there to answer questions, help with canopy and then go searching for the next action spot was awesome. We saw so many animals along Tarangire river, Seronera area and within Ngorongoro Crater We loved the places we were booked in. All very cool relaxation spots. I give top marks for the overall experience.
Highly recommended! A really great experience with soo much fun! We saw the Big Five and it was awesome! Our guide really knew everythin well and the car never got stuck. Also the food was great and delicious made by our own chef. Cool and fresh water was always available and even PCR tets in the middle of the Serengeti were made possible. The service was always extraordinary. We also got a free ride to the Cultural Heritage of Arusha and Lucas responded very quick on WhatsApp and provided us with the right information. We felt in good hands and can just recommend this trip. Especially when you are traveling on a budget and are not afraid of new cultures we recommend it. Thanks a lot for this opportunity!
4 Day Taste of Tanzania Budget safari
- 9-Days Budget safari in the wild including 2 nights in Serengeti and 3 days in Zanzibar.
My sister and I took my children (ages 4 & 9) on a two week safari with African Polecat Safaris in northern Tanzania. It was the trip of a lifetime. Our hearts and minds were blown open by the people, culture, wildlife, history, art, and landscapes of Tanzania. This safari team was outstanding. The logistics and quality of the tour were excellent. Our guide and chef were incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and experienced. They were also wonderful with the kids. We all have so many special memories from our adventures. We chose this safari company because we wanted our money to go directly to Tanzanians. This company is owned and operated by locals, as are their vendors and partners. We recommend them highly!
What our customers ask about Tanzania Safari Packages
What are the best times of year to see wildlife in Tanzania's national parks?
Tanzania's prime wildlife viewing seasons align with natural migration patterns and seasonal changes. The Serengeti's southern plains come alive from December to March as wildebeest herds gather during migration while the northern Serengeti draws crowds from June to September. In Tarangire National Park the dry season from June to October brings together large populations of wildlife with up to 3000 elephants congregating near the Tarangire River. A TourRadar traveler shares: "We were lucky to be booked in the Zara operated lodges and saw incredible wildlife - in Northern Serengeti we witnessed thousands of wildebeest crossing the river."
What types of accommodation options are available on Tanzania safaris?
The range of places to stay in Tanzania spans from basic camping to high-end luxury lodges. Notable options include Serengeti Safari Lodge in the central Serengeti Ngorongoro Wildcamp with crater views and Highview Hotel near Lake Manyara. Travelers can choose between permanent structures or mobile tented camps that follow wildlife movements throughout the year. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The lodges were amazing with gorgeous tent rooms serving delicious meals and excellent selection of wines. The Serengeti Safari Lodge was particularly spectacular with its location offering amazing wildlife viewing."
What wildlife can I expect to see during a Tanzania safari?
Tanzania's national parks host the complete "Big Five" - lion leopard elephant rhino and buffalo. The Serengeti's plains fill with massive herds of wildebeest and zebra during migration periods while predators like cheetahs and hyenas follow close behind. Ngorongoro Crater serves as a natural enclosure for one of Africa's densest wildlife populations including endangered black rhinos. One TourRadar traveler reports: "We saw 62 lions 2 leopards 4 cheetahs and all big five! Our guide Emmanuel made sure we didn't miss anything."
How many days should I plan for a Tanzania safari tour?
While 5-6 days allows for a good overview a 7-11 day itinerary provides time to properly explore Tanzania's northern circuit including Serengeti Ngorongoro Tarangire and Lake Manyara parks. This longer duration accounts for game drives and travel time between locations. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "Our 11-day wildlife cultural safari with Zara Tours was wonderful from start to finish. We had enough time to explore each park thoroughly and even include cultural visits to local tribes."
What's included in typical safari package prices?
Standard Tanzania safari packages cover lodging meals game drives park fees ($50-70 daily) English-speaking guides and 4x4 transportation with pop-up roofs. Most lodges like Serengeti Safari Lodge include full board accommodation game drives and entrance fees in their rates. Additional activities such as balloon safaris ($550 per person) and village visits ($20-25) typically cost extra. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "Everything was included - from excellent lodges to knowledgeable guides game drives and even bottled water in the vehicles."
Are cultural visits included in Tanzania safaris?
Most safari operators offer optional cultural experiences for additional fees. Visits to Maasai villages cost around $25 per person while excursions to meet the Hadzabe tribe near Lake Eyasi provide unique insights into traditional lifestyles. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The cultural visit to the Hadzabe tribe was fascinating - though a bit pricey it was worth it to learn about their traditional hunting and gathering lifestyle."
