What are the essentials of a bespoke stay in Tanzania?
The richness of Tanzania allows for varied trips according to your interests. The northern national parks concentrate the most beautiful wildlife reserves, while the island of Zanzibar offers a perfect complementary beach and cultural experience.
The legendary national parks
The Serengeti Park spans 14,750 km² and hosts the famous great migration. Between December and March, over 1.5 million wildebeests and 200,000 zebras traverse these plains in search of new pastures. This period offers one of the most impressive spectacles of nature.
The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, forms a natural caldera 20 kilometers in diameter. This African Noah's Ark concentrates an exceptional density of animals: elephants, lions, black rhinos, and buffaloes thrive in this preserved sanctuary.
The Tarangire National Park is known for its ancient baobabs and herds of elephants. More than 2,500 pachyderms find refuge during the dry season, creating unforgettable scenes along the Tarangire River.
Zanzibar and the beaches of the Indian Ocean
The Spice Island perfectly complements your trip to Tanzania. Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reflects the Swahili history with its narrow alleys and carved doors. This ancient city reveals the Arab, Persian, and Indian influence that shaped Zanzibar's culture.
The beaches of Zanzibar offer a paradisiacal setting with their coconut trees and crystalline waters. The east coast of the island, especially around Jambiani and Paje, features stretches of white sand fringed by a turquoise lagoon. These beaches are the ideal place to relax after the intensity of the safaris.
Climbing Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, attracts hikers from all over the world. Several climbing routes are available to you, from the more accessible Marangu route (5 days) to the more spectacular Machame route (6-7 days). This adventure traverses five distinct climatic zones, from the rainforest to the eternal snows of the Uhuru Peak summit.
How to organize your customized trip to Tanzania?
Organizing a tailor-made trip to Tanzania requires careful planning to optimize your experience. Our Travel Planners assist you in every step, from selecting the ideal period to choosing your accommodations.
Choosing the best period
Tanzania benefits from a tropical climate with two main seasons. The dry season, from June to October, offers optimal conditions for safaris with less dense vegetation, which facilitates the observation of wild animals. The temperatures range between 20°C and 30°C, ideal for exploring the national parks.
The December to March period also corresponds to a dry season, particularly suitable for observing the great migration in the southern Serengeti. This period coincides with the birthing season, offering touching scenes of young animals.

Selecting your accommodations
The type of your trip determines the choice of your accommodations. For a family safari, opt for spacious lodges with pools and child-friendly activities. Honeymooning couples will appreciate the privacy of luxury canvas camps with savannah views.
Authenticity enthusiasts may prefer mobile camps that follow the migration, while those seeking comfort might choose permanent lodges with spas and gourmet restaurants. In Zanzibar, beachfront hotels offer an ideal setting to extend your stay.
How much does a customized trip to Tanzania cost?
The budget for a personalized trip to Tanzania varies significantly based on your choices of accommodations, the length of your stay, and selected activities. A 7-day safari in the northern parks with mid-range lodging starts at about 2,500 euros per person.
For a 10-day trip combining safari and Zanzibar with charming accommodations, expect to spend between 3,500 and 5,000 euros per person. Luxury lodges and exclusive experiences can increase this budget to 7,000 euros or more.
Factors influencing the cost include:
- The type of accommodation chosen (camping, standard or luxury lodge);
- The travel season (higher prices during peak season);
- The number of participants (private safari more expensive);
- Additional activities (hot-air balloon ride, Kilimanjaro climb);
- The duration of the stay and international flights.
