Private Tanzania Safari Tours
Your safari. Your pace. Your Tanzania. Explore Tanzania on a private safari designed around your travel dates, interests, preferred destinations and budget. Travel with your own safari vehicle and professional guide through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and beyond.
What Is a Private Tanzania Safari?
A private Tanzania safari is an exclusive safari experience arranged for your own travel party. Instead of sharing a vehicle with unrelated travellers, your group travels together with a dedicated safari vehicle and professional guide.
Your itinerary can be planned around your preferred dates, destinations, accommodation, interests and budget. This gives you greater flexibility over the pace of your safari and the experiences you want to include. Private Tanzania safaris are suitable for couples, honeymooners, families, friends, photographers and private groups looking for a more personalized way to experience Tanzania.

How Much Does a Private Tanzania Safari Cost?
There is no single price for a private Tanzania safari. The total cost depends on the number of travellers, number of safari days, destinations, travel season, accommodation and activities included.
Travelling as a larger private group can reduce the per-person cost because the cost of the vehicle and guide is shared between more travellers. Accommodation is another major factor. Budget camping, comfortable lodges, premium properties and luxury tented camps can produce significantly different safari prices.
For this reason, the best way to obtain an accurate price is to request a quotation based on your actual dates, group size and preferred itinerary.
