For people who want to experience Tanzania in their own way

A safari is not a trip where everyone needs the same thing. That is why Wildfinder plans differently, depending on who you are travelling with and what really matters to you.

Solo travellers

Even when travelling alone, you do not have to join a group. With a private guide, you experience Tanzania at exactly your own pace.

What guests say about their safari

In the end, what counts is not what Wildfinder says about the trips, but how they feel when you experience them yourself.

Guests talk about their safaris, their guides and the moments that have stayed with them most.

  • “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.”

Frequently asked questions about your Tanzania safari

When is the best time to visit Tanzania for a safari?

Tanzania can generally be visited all year round. Which months are particularly suitable depends on the regions and experiences that matter to you. The Great Migration also moves through different parts of the Serengeti depending on the season. The travel advisors take this into account when planning your trip.

How long should a safari last?

For the most important parks in the north, the team usually recommends around one week of safari. Depending on the route, time of year and desired pace, a shorter or longer trip may make sense.

Is a safari in Tanzania safe?

Trips are run with experienced guides, vetted partners and carefully planned schedules. During your trip, a team member is also on hand.

Can I combine a safari with Zanzibar?

Yes. A safari and Zanzibar go together very well. Wildfinder can build the safari as well as domestic flights, transfers and accommodation on Zanzibar into your trip.

Which accommodation can I choose?

You can choose from the Classic, Premium and Exclusive categories. From authentic safari camps to exceptional luxury lodges, the accommodation category is tailored to your expectations.

Which national parks should I visit?

The best-known safari regions include the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara. Which combination makes sense depends, among other things, on the time of year, the duration of the trip and your interests.

Can I go on safari with children?

Yes. Especially with families, the team pays particular attention to sensible driving times, suitable accommodation and a daily schedule that works for children and adults.

How much does a private safari in Tanzania cost?

The price depends in particular on the duration of the trip, the route, the travel season, the number of people and the level of accommodation. That is why Wildfinder calculates each trip individually. In your enquiry, you can state your approximate budget so that the team can plan appropriately from the outset.

Will I be travelling with other guests?

No. Wildfinder safaris are private. You travel in a private safari vehicle with a personal guide and do not have to fit in with a group of strangers during the trip.

When do I pay, and who is my contract with?

Your contract is with Wildfinder Tours & Safaris Limited, a tour operator licensed in Tanzania and based in Arusha (tour operator licence from TALA). When booking, you pay 40% as a deposit and the remainder no later than 8 weeks before the start of the trip. If you book less than 8 weeks in advance, you pay the full amount immediately. It only becomes binding with your signed booking form. The offer and the Terms and Conditions prevail.

Ready for your own safari?

Tanzania offers countless possibilities. What matters is not packing as much as possible into one trip, but planning a route that truly suits you.

Say how you would like to travel. Wildfinder will turn it into your safari.
