Which Tanzania safari package fits your trip?
For a first Tanzania safari, most travellers compare the same questions: how many days, which parks, what price level, and whether to add Zanzibar or Kilimanjaro. This page puts those answers beside every itinerary, so you can compare private safari packages before speaking with Don.
The safest default is a 6–8 day Northern Circuit safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti. Shorter trips work if you focus on Ngorongoro and Tarangire; 10–14 days makes room for the Great Migration, a beach extension, or a climb-and-safari combination.

“We brought our three kids aged 6, 9, and 12. Our guide was incredible with children — patient, educational, and genuinely fun. The kids still talk about the lions on the way home. Best family trip we have ever taken.”
The Whitmore Family
Bristol, UK · Family Safari
“Booked for our 10th anniversary. Don arranged a private sundowner on the Ngorongoro rim with champagne and a picnic. The kind of moment you dream about for years before it actually happens.”
James & Fiona M.

“Never imagined we would see the Great Migration river crossing. Then we did — thousands of wildebeest thundering across the Mara River. We were speechless for a full ten minutes.”
