Travelling solo?

Group safaris are an easy way to meet fellow travellers and share the experience.

Tanzania’s Northern Circuit for less

A group joining safari puts you in a shared vehicle with other travellers on a fixed route, starting and ending in Arusha.

You still get a professional driver-guide, a pop-up roof for game viewing and comfortable lodges or camps. It is the best-value way to see the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire.

Planning your trip

The practical details, so you can decide how to travel and where to stay.

Good to know

Before you book.

  • Your own room: you share the vehicle, not your room, unless you choose to.
  • Best season: June to October for dry-season game viewing, and January to March for calving in the southern Serengeti.
  • Money: US dollars are widely used, with Tanzanian shillings for small purchases.

What to pack

Pack light for the road.

  • Soft bag: soft luggage fits best in safari vehicles.
  • Layers: warm clothes for chilly crater mornings and sun protection for the day.
  • Camera and binoculars: for wildlife, landscapes and big skies.

Park fees in Tanzania are set by TANAPA and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority. We confirm what is included when you book.
