The first step in planning a safari is to decide which parks to visit and how much time to spend in each, so that you can carefully plan the most suitable itinerary. You can do this with us at Tracks of Africa and set off on the best safaris in Tanzania.
We offer a selection of tours in Tanzania’s most iconic parks and cultural experiences in contact with the indigenous peoples, with itineraries tailored to our staff. To make the safari exclusive we can customize the tour, adapting it to your needs, preferences, style, budget and time available. One of the main choices to consider, when designing a safari tour, is the accommodation category. Tanzania offers a very wide range of accommodation types, from standard and mid-range camps/lodges, to luxury ones, which will fully satisfy your experience in one of the most exclusive places on the planet. For this reason, our tour proposals have been divided into three categories: STANDARD, COMFORT and LUXURY. We have also selected the best facilities in the area in the PREMIUM category (such as andBeyond, Asilia Africa, Elewana Collection, Laba Laba, Legendary Expeditions, Lemala Camps & Lodges, Nomad Tanzania, Sanctuary Retreats, Wellworth Collection…) and we create tailor-made tours that offer the highest level of service.
During the safari, you will have a specially equipped Toyota Land Cruiser 4WD or similar off-road vehicle with a retractable roof for a 360° view of the landscape, binoculars, Wi-Fi, refrigerator, charger, and most importantly, an experienced and professional Italian-speaking guide. In addition, lunch stops will be made in equipped areas and hot, typical meals (instead of classic lunch boxes) will be served whenever possible.
Your safari will be one of the most memorable trips of your life! And we want you to experience it to the fullest!
What sets us apart is our commitment to putting our expertise at the service of your wishes, creating a tailor-made Tanzania safari just for you.

For those who have never visited Africa, Tanzania is the optimal choice to discover a unique place in the world, where nature and civilization coexist in harmony without taking over each other. Its territory is characterized by a variety of habitat types with different characteristics, such as the conformation of plateaus with volcanic calderas covered with rich vegetation, within which a variety of animal species coexist. Fascinating multicolored lakes, unique in their chemical composition, create ideal environments for many species of animals and birds. But it is in the vast savannas that our tracks are concentrated, following the great migration of herbivorous animals. These gather in groups of millions on the endless plains of the Serengeti, followed by numerous herds of felines waiting for them in the shade of majestic acacias, ready for an easy, hearty meal. Green, thriving forests with tall trees divide the savannas from the agricultural areas, which are intermingled with banana and coffee vegetable plantations. On the horizon can be seen the mountain ranges from which lush rivers spring up to the white tropical beaches of the coast and its islands. It is a unique, spectacular and wonderful environment where the fragile beauty of nature enraptures the soul and fills the heart with the emotions that only Tanzania can convey.

Although safaris can be organised in Tanzania all year round, the months from June to October (the dry season) generally offer the best conditions for wildlife viewing. For those wishing to witness the Great Migration, it is important to plan carefully according to the animals’ movements throughout the year: from December to March in the southern Serengeti (calving season), and from July to October in the north (river crossings).
The choice depends on the time you have available, the time of year you’re travelling and the animals you wish to see. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro are among the best-known destinations, whilst Tarangire and Lake Manyara can enrich your itinerary with different landscapes and habitats. Not all packages include the same parks: compare the daily itinerary of each option before making your choice.
Tanzania boasts one of the most impressive concentrations of wildlife in the world. On a well-planned safari, you are highly likely to spot all of the ‘Big Five’: lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos (more rare) and buffalo. In addition to these, the Tanzanian savannahs are home to zebras, various species of antelope, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles and an extraordinary variety of birds. The likelihood of sightings increases significantly with the duration of the safari and the diversity of the parks visited.
There are no compulsory vaccinations required for Tanzania. A compulsory yellow fever vaccination is only required for travellers coming from high-risk countries. However, it is always advisable to consult your doctor or a travel medicine centre for personalised advice. Malaria prophylaxis is generally recommended, as are routine vaccinations such as tetanus, hepatitis A and B. It is important to note that health requirements may vary, so it is essential to check the latest information before departure.
Absolutely! Tanzania offers the unique opportunity to combine the thrill of a safari with relaxation on some of the most beautiful beaches in the Indian Ocean. Zanzibar, with its turquoise waters and white sandy beaches, is the most popular beach destination to combine with safaris, and is easily accessible via domestic flights. Discover our Tanzania tours combining safaris and Zanzibar to find the ideal blend of adventure and relaxation. Other options include Pemba, Mafia Island or the mainland coast near Dar es Salaam.
The price of a private safari in Tanzania varies depending on the duration, the number of participants, the season, the parks visited and the accommodation category, which can be Standard, Comfort, Luxury or Premium. As a general guide, the budget can start from around 350–650 USD per person per day, whilst high-end experiences can exceed 700 USD per day. The total cost depends on the itinerary and the services included.
