Enjoy greater control over how your safari days unfold. Discuss early starts, relaxed mornings, longer game drives, and additional stops with your guide.
Private Tanzania Safaris
Your Safari, Your Pace, Your Tanzania
Experience Tanzania on your own terms with a private safari designed around you. Travel with your own group, enjoy the freedom to explore at your pace, and discover Tanzania with a professional local safari guide.
Discover the Difference
What Is a Private Safari?
A private safari is a safari where the vehicle, guide, and itinerary are dedicated exclusively to you and your travel companions.
Unlike a group joining safari, you do not share your safari vehicle with other travellers. You can enjoy a more personal experience, ask your guide questions, adjust the pace of your day, and spend more time enjoying the wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania.
Whether you are travelling as a couple, family, group of friends, or a small private group, your safari can be designed around your interests, travel style, and available time.
From watching lions in the Serengeti to exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, following elephants through Tarangire, or discovering Tanzania's quieter landscapes, a private safari gives you the freedom to enjoy the journey your way.
The Private Safari Experience
Why Choose a Private Safari?
Enjoy a more personal and flexible way to discover Tanzania's extraordinary wildlife and landscapes.
Travel Only With Your Group
Your safari vehicle is exclusively for you and your companions. Enjoy your journey without sharing your space with unfamiliar travellers.
Personal Attention From Your Guide
Ask questions, learn about wildlife, photography, local culture, and conservation, and enjoy a more personal connection with your professional safari guide.
More Flexible Game Viewing
Wildlife does not follow a timetable. When conditions allow, you can discuss spending more time at an interesting sighting or moving on to explore somewhere else.
Designed Around Your Interests
Whether you love wildlife photography, birdwatching, family adventures, the Great Migration, or a combination of experiences, your itinerary can be shaped around what matters most to you.
A More Comfortable Experience
Enjoy a private vehicle, more personal space, and the opportunity to arrange your daily rhythm around the needs and preferences of your group.
Understand Your Options
Private Safari vs Other Safari Types
Every safari is organised differently. Understanding the main differences can help you choose the travel experience that suits your group.
Private Safari
Best for: Couples, families, friends, and private groups who value flexibility and personal attention.
- Private vehicle for your group
- Professional safari guide dedicated to your group
- Flexible daily schedule
- Customisable itinerary
- No strangers sharing your vehicle
- Greater flexibility during wildlife viewing
- Ideal for special occasions and family travel
A private safari generally offers a high level of flexibility and personalisation, making it suitable for travellers who want their experience organised around their own interests.
Group Joining Safari
Best for: Travellers who enjoy meeting other people and want a more economical way to experience Tanzania.
With a group joining safari, you share the vehicle with other travellers who may have booked separately. The itinerary and schedule are generally predetermined, and the group travels together.
- Shared safari vehicle
- Other travellers in your group
- Fixed or semi-fixed itinerary
- Less flexibility
- Usually a lower cost per person
- Opportunity to meet fellow travellers
Group joining safaris can be a good option for solo travellers and people who enjoy the social side of travelling.
Scheduled Group Safari
Best for: Travellers who prefer a planned departure and a set itinerary.
A scheduled group safari operates according to predetermined dates, routes, and accommodation. You join other travellers who have booked the same departure.
- Fixed departure dates
- Shared vehicle
- Predetermined itinerary
- Shared accommodation arrangements
- Less flexibility than a private safari
This type of safari can work well for travellers who want a structured experience without arranging an entirely private trip.

Family Adventures
Private Safari for Families
Private safaris are particularly popular with families because the experience can be adapted to the needs of both adults and children.
You can choose shorter game drives when necessary, take breaks during the day, select family-friendly accommodation, and create an itinerary that does not feel rushed.
Your guide can also explain Tanzania's wildlife in a way that makes the safari exciting and educational for younger travellers.
Travel Together
Private Safari for Couples
For couples, a private safari provides an intimate way to experience Tanzania together.
Whether you are celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, birthday, or simply looking for an unforgettable journey, your safari can be planned around your interests.
You can combine wildlife adventures with beautiful lodges, romantic dinners, sunset experiences, and time to relax.
Wildlife & Photography
Private Safari for Photographers and Wildlife Enthusiasts
If photography and wildlife are your priorities, private travel gives you greater control over your time in the bush.
You can discuss your photography interests with your guide and spend additional time at wildlife sightings when conditions are right.
Tanzania offers exceptional opportunities to photograph lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, birds, and many other species.
And when the wildlife decides to put on a show, you can discuss staying longer with your guide rather than having to follow another group's schedule.
