Private Wildlife & Big Five Safaris in Tanzania

Lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino, in Tanzania's finest parks. Your own vehicle and guide, with time to stay at a sighting as long as you like.

01 — Private wildlife safaris

Time to watch, not just to tick off.

The Big Five are all here: the Serengeti for lion and leopard, the Ngorongoro Crater for black rhino, and Tarangire for its elephant herds. A private vehicle changes how you see them. You decide when to move on, and your guide positions you for the light and the behaviour, not the next stop on a schedule.

We plan routes around the season, so you are in the right part of each park at the right time of year.

03 — Questions

Planning a private wildlife safari

Where can we see the Big Five in Tanzania?

The Ngorongoro Crater is the most reliable place to see all five, including black rhino. The Serengeti is outstanding for lion, leopard and cheetah, and Tarangire for large elephant herds.

When is the best time for a wildlife safari?

June to October is the dry season, when animals gather around water and are easier to find. The green season from November to May brings calving, migratory birds and fewer vehicles.

How much does a private wildlife safari in Tanzania cost?

Our private wildlife safaris start from $1,655 per person. The final price depends on the season, the camps you choose and how many of you travel together, and every quote is itemised. Our guide How Much Does a Tanzania Safari Cost? explains each part.
