Planning your first trip to Africa can feel overwhelming. With 20+ years guiding safaris from the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, we’ve helped hundreds of first-timers turn their dream trip into reality. This guide keeps it simple.
A 5 to 7-day group safari starts from $3,800 per person. A private safari starts from $4,340 per person.
We don’t run fixed joining group departures. But if you book as a group of 4 or more friends, family, or colleagues, we treat it like a private group tour with group pricing. That way you get the best of both: lower cost per person, plus your own vehicle and guide. The final price depends on park fees, accommodation level, and group size. We build every trip around your budget, pace, and interests. No cookie-cutter packages.
Serengeti vs Ngorongoro: Which Park Should You Visit First
Serengeti National Park: Best for the Great Migration and wide-open wildlife viewing. You need 2-3 days here.
Ngorongoro Crater: Best for guaranteed Big 5 sightings in one day. It’s a must-see on any first trip.
Most first-timers combine both. Our certified guides know the routes and animal behavior to get you the best sightings.
When Is The Best Time to Visit Tanzania?
June to October: Dry season. Best for wildlife viewing because animals gather at waterholes. This is peak season, so book early.
November to March: Calving season in the southern Serengeti. You’ll see thousands of baby wildebeest and lots of predator action. Fewer crowds and lower prices.
What to Pack for Your First Tanzania Safai
- Neutral-colored clothes: khaki, olive, brown. Avoid bright colors and black.
- Layers: Mornings are cold, afternoons are hot. Bring a fleece and a waterproof jacket.
- Binoculars: 8×42 is the best size for safari.
- Power bank + universal adapter: Type D and G plugs are used in Tanzania.
