Kenmerken & FAQ
A safari and stay in Tanzania is completely safe. All our drivers and guides are experts in this field and have undergone extensive training to properly handle nature and animals. All necessary precautions are also taken at our accommodations to provide you with a safe place to stay.
No, this is unfortunately not possible. Due to the safety of you and the wildlife, it is not allowed to drive around on your own. A specialized guide and driver is therefore always included in our tours.
You can choose this for yourself. We offer tents or bungalows at all our resorts with private bathrooms, good beds and electricity. We also offer budget-proof safari tents at some resorts. These are more basic and have a shared bathroom. In addition, many of our resorts feature a swimming pool, restaurant, gym and public area with Wi-Fi.
Yes, there are differences in animals between northern and southern Tanzania, although they largely overlap. Both regions offer impressive wildlife experiences, but the type of landscape, concentration of animals and the way you experience them differ. Here's a clear overview:
- In northern Tanzania, you'll find iconic nature reserves such as the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Here you will see large herds of wildebeest and zebra during the Great Migration, impressive lion prides, and have the best chance of spotting the rhinoceros, one of the few places in Africa where you can complete the Big Five.
- Southern Tanzania is loved precisely for its tranquility, vast landscapes and adventurous safari style. In parks such as Nyerere and Mikumi you will encounter few other vehicles, but you will see many elephants, hippos and unique species. In particular, the rare wild dog is regularly seen here, something almost unheard of in the north.
In Tanzania, the Big Five: lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino, are best spotted in northern Tanzania.
You go on a private trip, alone or with your travel company. So you will not travel in a group. Our experienced and knowledgeable driver, who is also your guide, will proudly show you Tanzania.

For ages 5 and up, everyone is welcome to join the safari!
