Information - Tanzania & Zanzibar Safari
Planning a luxury safari and beach escape with Hike Kilimanjaro Ltd? We provide everything you need for a seamless, high-end travel experience from thrilling wildlife encounters in Tanzania’s top national parks to barefoot luxury on Zanzibar’s white-sand beaches. This itinerary combines private game drives in iconic safari destinations like Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, followed by a relaxing beach retreat at a handpicked Zanzibar resort.
Our private safaris operate year-round, but the best time for optimal game viewing is during the dry season from June to October and the calving season from January to March. For those seeking to witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti, the most dramatic river crossings occur from July to early September in the Northern Serengeti. If you’re interested in a River Crossing Migration Safari, we can tailor your itinerary to place you in the heart of the action typically along the Mara River, where herds of wildebeest and zebra brave crocodile-filled waters in one of nature’s most powerful spectacles.
You’ll travel in a private 4×4 Toyota Land Cruiser, custom-designed for luxury and comfort, complete with pop-up roof, six window seats, USB ports, phone charging cables, cooler box with drinks and snacks, and a pair of binoculars (additional pairs available for $30 or bring your own). Your safari is led by a professional, English-speaking guide with years of experience in wildlife tracking and guest care.
All national park fees and daily game drives are included in your package. To enrich your experience, you can add optional activities such as a hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti, a visit to a traditional Maasai village, a guided nature walk, or an excursion to Olduvai Gorge available at an additional cost and bookable in advance or during your trip.
You also have the option to extend your stay for more days in Zanzibar or on safari. Whether this is your first African adventure or a special occasion like a honeymoon or anniversary, Hike Kilimanjaro ensures a personalized and unforgettable journey.
