Accommodation levels
Choose the level, and we build the trip around it
The same route can be run four ways. The level you pick decides where you sleep, how far you drive to the wildlife each morning, and most of what the safari costs.
Budget
Clean, simple camps and small lodges. Everything you need after a day in the park, and nothing you do not.
Mid-range
Comfortable lodges and permanent tented camps with en-suite bathrooms, pools and full service. Where most safaris sit.
Luxury
High-end lodges and luxury tented camps in prime locations, with the shorter drives to the wildlife that come with them.
Premium
The best addresses in each park. Exclusive-use camps, private guiding and the quietest corners of the reserves.
Why there is no price on the page
A safari price that fits everyone fits nobody. Two people in a premium camp in August and a family of four in a mid-range lodge in April are different trips at different costs, on the same itinerary. Rather than publish a figure that would be wrong for most people reading it, we price each trip properly.
Tell us your dates, your group and the level you want, and you get an accurate quote back with the accommodation named.
What the quote is built from
- Accommodation level and the type of camp or lodge
- Where you sleep: park rates differ, and so do the drives
- Travel dates, since low, high and peak seasons are priced apart
- Group size, and the ages of any children
- Safari style: private, shared, or tailor-made
- Length of the trip, the parks you enter and the activities you add
- Vehicle and transport arrangements
- Anything special: flights, transfers, honeymoon touches, dietary needs
The other ranges
Somewhere else in Tanzania
Northern Tanzania Safaris
The classic circuit. Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara, where most first safaris happen and where the Big Five are easiest to find.
Great Migration Safaris
Planned around the wildebeest herds rather than a fixed route. Which part of the Serengeti you sleep in depends on the month you travel and where the herds have moved.
Safari & Zanzibar Holidays
A mainland safari, then beach days on Zanzibar, planned as one trip. Game drives in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti come first, the island second, and we build other combinations around your dates.
Kilimanjaro Trekking
Four routes up the highest mountain in Africa, from the quiet Rongai approach to the eight-day Lemosho. Longer routes give you more time to acclimatise, which is what gets people to the summit.
Luxury & Special Experience Safaris
Private vehicles, exclusive lodges and a photography safari planned around the big cats. Built for travellers who want the northern circuit at its most comfortable.
Adding Zanzibar to the trip?
Most people fly to the island after the mainland. Book a safari and Zanzibar holiday as one trip, or add island excursions to any safari.
