When designing a safari in Tanzania, there are a few important decisions to consider. The first is whether you prefer a private safari or a group safari. While shared safaris can be a good way to meet fellow travelers and reduce costs, at Claws of Africa we strongly recommend private safaris. The price difference is often minimal, and a private safari allows full flexibility — from customizing your itinerary to traveling at your own pace and enjoying more space and comfort in the vehicle. For this reason, we exclusively organize private, tailor-made safaris.
A lodge safari can provide some of the most luxurious experiences in the world while still maintaining its traditional allure.
The next decision involves choosing between budget camping in public campsites or staying in luxury tented camps and lodges. This choice depends on your budget and comfort preferences. When you contact us, we will recommend carefully selected accommodation options for each national park, focusing on the best quality within each price range. Camping safaris can be adventurous, immersive, and cost-effective, while private tented camps and lodges offer exceptional comfort, privacy, and luxury without losing the authentic safari atmosphere. You can explore some of the camps and lodges we frequently use for our Tanzania tours on our accommodation page.
Finally, the safari itinerary itself must be planned — including which parks to visit and the overall duration of the journey. To assist you, we offer a selection of standard itineraries ranging from 1 to 9 days, which we believe provide the best experiences for different travel lengths. However, every tour we offer is tailor-made. We take the itinerary that best fits your needs and refine it to create a truly unique journey. A private safari can last a single day or several weeks, include camping, lodges, or a combination of both, and explore parks across Tanzania’s Northern and Southern circuits.
For any questions or to build a fully customized private safari, please contact us through our contact page. We can design an itinerary that includes not only the safari itself, but also airport transfers, town accommodation before or after the tour, domestic flights, and extensions to Zanzibar or the Tanzanian coast. Within a short time, we will create a safari experience that offers outstanding value and aligns perfectly with your wishes, preferences, and budget.
At Claws of Africa, we prioritize our guests’ satisfaction and long-term trust over short-term profit. We choose high-quality binoculars to enhance your wildlife experience, employ experienced professional guides through a careful recruitment process, and use well-maintained modern safari vehicles. Every guest is unique, with different expectations and dreams. With us, private Tanzania safaris can be affordable and simple or highly luxurious, featuring exclusive services, scenic flights, and premium accommodations. We adapt to you — never the other way around.
Our guides are the true heart of every safari. Their knowledge, passion, and experience can transform a journey into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. This dedication is reflected in the excellent feedback we have received after organizing hundreds of safaris. You can also travel with confidence knowing that your investment is fair and that 5% of our profits support children in local schools.
Ultimately, this Tanzania safari will be your journey of a lifetime, and every detail — from the itinerary to the accommodation — should be designed around you and no one else.
