Tanzania Safari
Exclusive & Private Safaris in Tanzania
Tanzania is a country of extraordinary beauty, where volcanic mountains rise above sweeping plains and golden beaches stretch along the coast. From the northern highlands to the southern wilderness, and from the eastern shores to the western forests, Tanzania offers an unmatched East African safari experience, complete with Big Five encounters, luxurious lodges, and immersive cultural experiences.
Home to some of the world’s most iconic wildlife spectacles, Tanzania hosts the awe-inspiring Great Migration, drawing visitors from across the globe to witness thousands of wildebeest and zebras journeying across the plains in a timeless rhythm of life.
The north features the famous “Northern Circuit,” including Mount Kilimanjaro, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park, while nearby Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and the Rift Valley provide equally stunning scenery and exciting wildlife adventures.
On the western edge, along Lake Tanganyika, forested sanctuaries give travelers the rare opportunity to see chimpanzees in their natural habitat. In the south, remote parks like Nyerere and Ruaha offer untouched wilderness, from serene boat safaris on the Rufiji River to unique research-focused expeditions.
Finally, unwind on the idyllic beaches of Zanzibar, the renowned “Spice Islands,” where pristine white sands, turquoise waters, and a rich cultural history create the perfect ending to your Tanzanian journey.

Tanzania Safari FAQs
Hiking Mount Kilimanjaro is not technically difficult. With the support of guides, you’ll only need to carry a day pack and drinking water.
The real challenge lies in coping with the altitude. Your fitness level, time spent acclimating, and choice of route will significantly impact your chances of reaching the summit. However, it’s impossible to predict how your body will respond to altitude until you’re actually on the mountain.
Yes! The abundant wildlife and Big Five will captivate your children, bringing their favorite storybooks and movies to life. However, keep in mind that Tanzania safaris often involve long game drives, and some camps may not have swimming pools or a wide range of activities, which is why we typically recommend safaris for children aged six and older.
If you’d like to go on safari with younger children under five (which is completely doable!), reach out to a 7daysadventure family specialist who can provide first-hand insights and recommendations for making the experience enjoyable for the whole family.
Yes, malaria is present in Tanzania. For travelers visiting areas below 5,905 feet (1,800 meters) above sea level, the CDC advises taking anti-malarial medication. 7daysadventure can provide further guidance on precautions to take during your trip.
Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) in Arusha is the main gateway to Tanzania’s famous Northern Circuit safari destinations, including Mount Kilimanjaro, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
On the coast, Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) serves Dar es Salaam, Tanzania’s busiest international airport. In Zanzibar, Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) connects the archipelago with both domestic and international flights.
The Great Migration is often depicted as a simple clockwise circuit, where wildlife moves between Tanzania’s Serengeti in the south and Kenya’s Masai Mara in the north from May to December. But in reality, it’s far more complex than this portrayal suggests, with wildlife remaining in the Serengeti from December to April.
As with all natural phenomena, the Great Migration follows nature’s unpredictable rhythms, so it’s best understood as a pattern rather than a fixed timeline. However, there are still general guidelines that can help you plan the best time and place to witness this incredible spectacle. For more insights, 7daysadventure can guide you on the ideal timing and locations for your visit.
Mobile camps are lightweight, temporary safari setups that change locations (pre-selected) one or more times each year to “follow” the Great Migration. Since herd movements are unpredictable and influenced by weather conditions, mobile camps aim to position guests closer to the action.
While these camps are designed for flexibility and may lack certain amenities like swimming pools, star beds, dedicated spa facilities, bathtubs, and running water, you won’t be roughing it. Expect luxurious tents equipped with comfortable beds, ensuite bathrooms featuring hot showers and flush toilets, and gourmet meals served in dining or lounge areas—all nestled in a beautiful wilderness setting. With 7DaysAdventure, you can experience the thrill of being in the heart of the safari while enjoying modern comforts.
