Secluded Tanzania Safari

Limited to 12 Travelers
A very important feature of our Secluded Tanzania safari is the limited group size, as wildlife encounters are far better when experienced in an intimate, non-obtrusive setting.

Our guests have the option to take this trip on a private basis, traveling with just their selected travel companions. Refer to the Trip Pricing section above for details.

As with all of our global adventures, our focus is on wildlife and nature viewing, and in Africa a big portion of that happens during our wildlife drives. Our Tanzania safari vehicles are specially adapted, reinforced Land Cruisers that seat seven travelers each, although we limit each vehicle to just six travelers, ensuring a window seat for every person. The custom-installed bucket seats have superior-quality spring cushions and adjustable lumbar support for incomparable comfort. Since each row has its own roof hatch and sits slightly higher than the row in front of it, all guests enjoy excellent viewing opportunities. In certain areas we use open-sided vehicles with a canvas roof, offering an open field of view while still offering some protection from the elements. With no middle seats, there is plenty of room for gear and extra leg room. Refrigerators/ice boxes keep drinks cool for our guests and an onboard library of mammal and bird books offers insight into Tanzania's diverse array of species and natural history. As is the case with all of our vehicles, these safari trucks are enhanced with extra suspension to ensure the most comfortable ride possible in the wilds of Africa.

Easy to Moderate
To participate in this trip, you must be able to walk unassisted at a steady pace for at least one mile over uneven terrain, climb steps to get into and out of our raised safari vehicles, and be able to tolerate daily outdoor excursions that may last 4-5 hours or even a full day at a time, sometimes in hot, windy and/or dusty conditions. Wildlife drives pose a particular type of physical demand on the body, as they require long hours of sitting and take place over terrain that is often very rough and bumpy, including dirt roads with many ruts and potholes. Travelers with back or neck problems, or other health issues that could be exacerbated by such conditions, should take this into consideration. While any walking safaris are considered optional, travelers must be able to walk unassisted to and from the vehicle to our camp accommodations, sometimes walking over uneven ground or on boardwalks. Days spent on safari are often long, as mornings typically start before daybreak and evening meals are served after sundown. Safari accommodations and vehicles are not climate-controlled and, depending on the season, temperatures can range from quite cold to extremely hot, so it is critical that travelers come prepared.

This safari is designed to showcase the finest wildlife areas of Tanzania. We strive to create a well-rounded safari experience that carefully complements wildlife viewing with scenic highlights and interesting features of the different ecosystems we visit. After years of tailoring this itinerary, including the securing of various permits, we have created an itinerary that incorporates the best wildlife spots while maintaining the seclusion and atmospheric accommodations that make an Natural Habitat trip so special. Add an extension to the mountain gorillas of Uganda or Rwanda to make this a truly all-encompassing African wildlife experience.

Please plan to arrive in Arusha, Tanzania by 5 pm on Day 1 in order to attend a 7 pm welcome dinner. You are free to depart from Arusha after 5 pm on the final day.
