5.0 from 46 reviews on Tripadvisor · local operator in Arusha
Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire in a private safari vehicle, with no other travellers and no fixed itinerary. The guide speaks English, the route follows the animals, and the accommodation ranges from tented camps to lodges with pools. Extended versions such as luxury safari, family safari or honeymoon in Tanzania follow the same basic structure.
The team in Arusha recommends 7 days on safari followed by 7 days in Zanzibar as the best combination. The island is a flight of 1¼ to 2 hours from Arusha, depending on the airline. Wildfinder Safaris books flight, transfer and hotel all from one source.
Machame, Lemosho, Marangu, Rongai, Shira, Umbwe and the Northern Circuit: Wildfinder Safaris runs all seven routes with licensed mountain guides, its own kitchen crew and porters from the region. The choice of route determines acclimatisation and chances of reaching the summit, which is why every plan begins with a conversation.

“This was by far the most wonderful holiday we have ever had. […] A special highlight was our guide Erik. It really could not have been better: competent, patient, warm-hearted and with an incredible instinct for where the animals are. Thanks to him we were always in the right place at the right time and were able to experience the wildlife up close. […] Vegan food was no problem at all […]”
“The trip was dreamlike! We saw an extreme variety of animals and nature. Our guide was super, spoke very good German and knew everything about the wildlife. The chosen accommodation and the programme were perfectly tailored to us and everything ran smoothly. […] the trip can be designed entirely according to one's own wishes and the mixture of personal advice and the great safari with good guides guarantees an awesome experience.”
“It was important to us not to do this safari with a large operator, but with a smaller company. We have NEVER regretted this decision. […] Not only travelling on the so-called main roads, but also on the side roads. There we were very often on our own. That way, besides the Big Five, we were also able to see very many other animal species, which was very interesting. […] we are already planning our next safari, which will take us to the south of Tanzania.”

People · Mount Meru
The Nkoaranga orphanage at the foot of Mount Meru has existed since 1997; around 30 children up to the age of three live there with 12 carers. Instead of a fixed contribution, Wildfinder Safaris regularly buys supplies for the orphanage: groceries, toiletries and similar items.
Wildlife · Mkomazi
WildlifeNOW is a Kora Project programme at Mkomazi National Park: it protects black rhinos and African wild dogs, maintains their populations through breeding and safeguards the ecosystem. It also raises awareness in the surrounding communities, and Wildfinder Safaris supports the programme.
