Tanzania Luxury Safari Tours
Tanzania is a top destination for luxury safaris. It offers breathtaking adventures and unparalleled wildlife Safari experiences. Renowned for its diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife, Tanzania is home to the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. The country's parks and reserves, including the famous Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park, provide perfect settings for spotting these majestic animals.
Besides the well-known sites, Tanzania's Tarangire and Ruaha National Parks offer unique opportunities to see big cats and other wildlife. Ngorongoro Crater is renowned as the place with one of the highest densities of wild animals in the entire world. The unfilled volcanic caldera serves as a gigantic "natural zoo," hosting thousands of animals, including a large population of lions, elephants, wildebeest, and even rhinos. The iconic Masai Mara is a prime spot for witnessing the great Wildebeest migration, one of nature's most spectacular events.
A Tanzania luxury safari typically includes thrilling game drives in specialized vehicles equipped with all luxury amenities for the best safari experience and exciting walking safaris led by expert guides. Our Tanzania luxury safari can be of any length from a 2-day luxury safari to even a one-month luxury safari. During this luxury tour in Tanzania, you have two more ways to explore parks: you can choose to drive in and out or go for a luxury flying safari (fly-in and out) or a fly-in and fly-out luxury safari. You will be sleeping in very comfortable luxurious lodges and tented camps located in and outside the national parks.
The best time to visit Tanzania for a luxury safari is during the dry season when wildlife viewing is at its peak. Whether you're exploring the vast savannas, witnessing the great migration, or summiting Mount Kilimanjaro, a Tanzania luxury safari offers the adventure of a lifetime.

What to Pack for Tanzania Luxury safari
When packing for your Tanzania safari, it's important to bring the right clothing and personal items to ensure your safety, comfort, and enjoyment. Here are some key tips to consider:
1. Pack lightly and choose clothing wisely. Formal attire is unnecessary unless you have a special event to attend. Opt for loose-fitting, layered garments that can keep you comfortable throughout the day and night, and be prepared for them to get soiled.
2. Stick to neutral-colored clothing such as khaki, light bark, mid-tone brown, beige, olive, and green. Avoid bright colors, white, and dark colors.
3. Protect yourself against mosquitoes and tsetse flies by wearing long pants, long-sleeved shirts, socks, and closed-toe shoes. Insect repellent is highly recommended.
4. Wear appropriate footwear to protect your feet from blisters, thorns, and stones. The type of shoes you'll need depends on your activities, so consider waterproof hiking boots or walking safari shoes for long hikes, and waterproof sneakers or walking shoes for game drives. Sandals and lightweight flip-flops are also useful for certain situations.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure a comfortable and enjoyable safari experience in Tanzania.
6 Questions About Tanzania Luxury Safaris Answered by Bruno Nassary

Why should I choose Tanzania for a luxury trip?
Tanzania boasts three of Africa’s most captivating safari circuits: the Northern, Southern, and Western circuits. These regions offer some of the finest wildlife viewing experiences in Africa, complemented by world-class exclusive and upscale camps and lodges, making them ideal for a luxury safari.
The Southern and Western circuits are particularly suited for fly-in upmarket safaris. The Western circuit is among the most exclusive and expensive in Africa. The Southern safari circuit is anchored by the expansive Nyerere National Park and also includes Ruaha, Mikumi, and Udzungwa Mountains National Parks. With its high temperatures and dispersed wildlife, the south is ideal for seasoned safari-goers.
Even more remote is the Western safari circuit, featuring the dry savannahs of Katavi National Park and the lush forests of Mahale Mountains and Gombe National Parks. In Mahale and Gombe, visitors can track habituated chimpanzee communities along the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
The well-known Northern safari circuit, with its temperate climate, offers a perfect introduction to Africa’s landscapes and wildlife within a compact, well-equipped area. It includes Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, as well as Arusha, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara National Parks. The northern circuit is easily navigable by road and offers accommodations for mid-range to high-end budgets.
What is included in a Tanzania luxury safari?
Almost everything is included. A Tanzania luxury tour typically covers domestic flights, road transport, game drives, and other activities, along with associated guides and park fees. Full-board accommodation is usually part of the package as well. Some high-end lodges and exclusive camps may also provide laundry services and non-premium drinks, such as tea, coffee, soft drinks, local beer, and house wine. It's a good idea to confirm this in advance. Besides souvenirs and personal purchases, the primary exclusion from most tour packages is tips. Tipping is common in Tanzania and can add up quickly, so be sure to bring enough cash to cover it.
Do all luxury safaris in Tanzania include the Serengeti?
"No. Most safari packages to Tanzania focus on just one of the three safari circuits. The Serengeti is typically the main destination in the Northern circuit. Northern circuit packages also usually include the Ngorongoro Crater and some other national parks. Trips to Tanzania’s Southern and Western safari circuits seldom include the Serengeti."
Can you describe a typical day on a luxury trip in Tanzania?
"The typical routine during a safari in Tanzania is to wake up before sunrise, have a quick cup of coffee or tea, and then go on an early morning game drive. Most lodges and camps offer the option of taking a packed breakfast on the game drive or returning to camp for a late breakfast or brunch. The midday hours are usually very hot, so it's common to take a short nap in your room or relax at the swimming pool if the lodge has one.
Afternoon game drives usually start at 3 PM or 4 PM. For those with a lot of energy, another option is to pack lunch and go on a full-day game drive. Either way, the day typically ends with sundowners around the campfire and a three-course bush dinner, followed by an early night to prepare for the next day's early start. The safari day is planned to take advantage of the cooler hours at the beginning and end of the day, when there's a better chance of seeing lions and other predators in action and the lighting is best for photography."
What type of accommodation can I expect?
There are three main types of luxury safari accommodation in Tanzania. The most common type is the large wildlife lodge, which has 40-plus rooms and conventional hotel-style amenities. These lodges, however, may feel somewhat disconnected from the surrounding bush.
The second type is exclusive permanent or semi-permanent tented camps. These camps consist of canvas units with en-suite hot showers, comfortable bedding, private verandahs, high-quality cuisine, service, and wine.
The third type falls between the two categories, and it consists of small, exclusive five-star permanent lodges. They are comparable to boutique hotels in the safari setting.
It's recommended to look for a luxury safari package that offers a mix of accommodation types, as each type has its own advantages. For instance, an upmarket tented camp provides a hands-on experience of the African wilderness. However, after a few nights, the superior amenities of a larger lodge might be a welcome change. If facilities such as 24-hour electricity, WiFi, or swimming pools are important to you, be sure to research and choose your accommodation carefully.
How much will this Luxury safari cost?
“The costs of a Tanzania luxury safari are highly variable. Bank on an all-inclusive price of at least US$500 to US$7,000 per person per day. It will cost a lot more – upwards of US$1,000 per person per day – if you stay in small top-of-the-range luxury camps. What you pay depends on just how luxurious and exclusive you want your holiday to be. Other cost factors are the parks you include in your itinerary, and whether you travel in high, low or mid-season.”
