Safari Adventures Beyond the Game Drive

"African safaris offer more than just watching wildlife from a vehicle. From walking safaris and hot air balloon rides to cultural visits and canoe trips, there are many exciting ways to explore the wild and connect with nature on a deeper level."

Game Drives
Game Drives

Game drives are the heart of every safari. You’ll ride in a specially designed safari vehicle through national parks, spotting wild animals in their natural home. Led by expert guides, these drives give you a closer look at animal behavior, stunning landscapes, and the amazing balance of life on the African savannah.

Walking Safaris

Walking safaris let you explore the wild on foot in safe, designated areas with fewer predators. In Tanzania, these guided walks are always led by armed park rangers to ensure your safety. Top spots for this up-close adventure include parts of Arusha, Tarangire, and the Serengeti.

Walking Safaris
Night Game Drives
Night Game Drives

Night drives offer a rare chance to see the African bush come alive after dark. Allowed in select parks like Lake Manyara, these guided adventures reveal secretive night animals such as aardvarks, genets, porcupines, and civet cats—wildlife you won’t see during the day. It’s a thrilling way to experience the hidden side of the savannah..

Private Game Reserves

Private game reserves provide a more exclusive and intimate way to experience the African wilderness. One of Tanzania’s finest examples is the Singita Grumeti Reserve, located on the western edge of the Serengeti. Home to the luxurious Sasakwa Safari Lodge, this elite destination attracts Hollywood celebrities, Fortune 500 executives, and discerning travelers from around the world.
With fewer crowds, personalized service, and unmatched comfort, private reserves offer guests the chance to enjoy game drives, guided walks, and wildlife sightings in total peace. If you're looking for a truly luxurious safari escape with top-tier hospitality, private game reserves are the perfect choice.

Private Game Reserves
Hot Air Balloon Flights
Hot Air Balloon Flights

With drones banned in most African parks, hot air balloon safaris offer a truly magical way to experience the savannah from above. Floating silently at sunrise over Tanzania’s Serengeti or Tarangire National Park, you’ll witness herds of wildlife, sweeping plains, and golden light in a way few ever do.
Once reserved for luxury travelers, balloon safaris are now more accessible and remain one of the most unforgettable experiences in Africa. From the moment you lift off to the champagne breakfast on landing, this aerial journey delivers breathtaking views and memories to last a lifetime.

Tanzania Travel Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

Here we answer the most common questions about traveling to Tanzania, combining essential safari tips with insights on climbing Kilimanjaro and relaxing in Zanzibar.

Set realistic expectations—Tanzania is vast and diverse. Budget wisely as additional costs may arise. Always include the top destinations: Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Mount Kilimanjaro. If you’re looking for post-safari relaxation, consider Zanzibar’s beaches. Pack layers for varied weather, get your visa ahead of time, and consult your doctor about recommended vaccinations.

Yes, most travelers need a visa. Processing typically takes 2 to 15 days depending on your country. Apply online via the Tanzania eVisa portal, and do so at least 2-3 weeks in advance to avoid delays.

Opt for lightweight, neutral-colored clothing (khaki, beige, olive). Avoid dark blue and black as they attract tsetse flies. Mornings can be chilly, so layer your outfits. A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are also recommended.

The dry season (June to October) is ideal for wildlife safaris, especially the Great Migration in Serengeti. January to March is perfect for calving season. For Kilimanjaro, January-March and June-October offer the best climbing conditions. Zanzibar is great year-round but best from June to February.

Begin with an early breakfast, followed by a morning game drive. Return to the lodge for lunch or enjoy a picnic in the bush. Afternoon drives offer different wildlife sightings. Evenings are for dinner, campfire stories, and stargazing.

Absolutely! Many travelers climb Kilimanjaro, go on a Northern Circuit Safari, and then unwind in Zanzibar. We offer custom itineraries that seamlessly combine all three for a well-rounded Tanzanian adventure.

Expect to see the Big Five: lions, elephants, leopards, buffalos, and rhinos. Other frequent sightings include giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, cheetahs, crocodiles, and various bird species.

The Great Migration is the annual journey of over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles across the Serengeti to Kenya’s Masai Mara. It usually occurs from June to November—a breathtaking spectacle of survival and instinct.

The local currency is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS). However, US Dollars are widely accepted, especially in tourist areas. Always carry some local currency for small purchases and tipping.

Swahili is the national language, and English is widely spoken, especially in the tourism industry. Learning a few Swahili phrases can enhance your cultural experience!

Yes! We create tailor-made itineraries combining safaris, Kilimanjaro climbs, and Zanzibar holidays. Our experienced guides, comfortable safari vehicles, private chefs, and dedicated staff ensure a safe, personalized, and unforgettable experience from start to finish.
