Three ways guests usually choose
By length
Three days covers Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Five to six adds the central Serengeti. Seven to nine chases the migration. Ten-plus combines safari with Zanzibar or Kilimanjaro.
By season
Dry (Jun-Oct) for Mara crossings. Green (Nov-May) for calving, low rates, quiet camps. Every month has a story, none are bad.
By style
Camping to sleep close to the sounds. Midrange for classic value. Luxury tented camps for boutique service. Fly-in when time is short and the bush is deep.
These are the private Tanzania safari itineraries we run most often out of our Arusha office. They are drawn from twelve years of guiding on the Northern Circuit and thousands of hours reading the seasons in the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Highlands and the Tarangire river. Every itinerary is sold as a private departure, your own 4x4 Land Cruiser, your own Karis guide, your own hand-picked camps and lodges.
If nothing on this page fits exactly, that is fine. Most of our guests end up with an itinerary that started as one of these and evolved from a single conversation. Use the filters above to narrow the list, then open any card for the full day-by-day plan, lodging tier and transparent pricing.
