Tanzania is the heart of our luxury safaris, offering the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the remote southern and western parks. The Great Migration moves through the Serengeti ecosystem across the year, with timing varying by rainfall. Nearby Kenya, including the Masai Mara, which borders the Serengeti, can be added for travelers who want a wider East African journey. Your consultant will explain the best combinations and the travel time involved for each region. Our consultants always keep itineraries realistic and unhurried.

Luxury accommodation ranges from elegant permanent tented camps with private verandas to boutique lodges with infinity pools, spa treatments and sweeping views. Ultra-luxury camps may host only a handful of guests, with dedicated butlers and private vehicles. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris selects properties by location, service and atmosphere, so each night suits your taste. Rooms in the finest camps are limited, so we recommend planning early, especially for the dry season, the calving season and festive holidays. We can also arrange private dining and in-room experiences.

Private experiences make a luxury safari personal. Options include a sunrise balloon flight over the Serengeti, a bush breakfast, a walking safari with a licensed guide, a sundowner at a hidden viewpoint and a private dinner under the stars. You can also arrange cultural visits, photography coaching or a helicopter transfer in selected areas. Your own guide and vehicle mean you set the schedule, choose early starts or lazy mornings and spend as long as you like at each sighting.

The dry season from late June to October offers the best general wildlife viewing, with Great Migration herds in the north from July to October and crossings often peaking in August and September. January to early March is superb in the southern Serengeti for calving season. The green season from March to May is quiet and atmospheric, though some camps close. Rainfall varies each year, so your private plan stays flexible and focused on your priorities. Ask us which month best suits the experiences you value most.

Luxury safaris generally cost about $990 to $2,500 per person per day, while ultra-luxury experiences start from about $2,500. Costs depend on camps, season, flights and private extras. Most travelers choose seven to fourteen days and book six to twelve months ahead. Share your dates, interests and budget with Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris, and we will prepare a clear, itemized proposal that you can adjust until it feels perfect. We confirm all inclusions, flights and extras clearly before you commit to anything, so planning stays stress-free.

Tailor-made means your safari is designed specifically for you instead of following a fixed schedule. You choose the destinations, number of days, accommodation style and activities, and your private consultant builds the itinerary around your wishes. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris provides your own vehicle and guide, so you control timing and pace each day. You can change details before booking until the plan matches your vision perfectly. Our team stays available throughout your planning and your journey.

Our consultants will check availability for your preferred dates quickly and honestly.

Yes, Tanzania combines well with Zanzibar for a beach stay and with Kenya's Masai Mara, which borders the Serengeti. Flights connect Arusha, Kilimanjaro Airport, Zanzibar and Nairobi. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris focuses on privately guided Tanzania journeys and can advise on how to add nearby destinations sensibly. Longer combinations need more days, so we suggest allowing enough time to relax and enjoy each place. Our consultants will advise honestly on realistic combinations.

Yes, luxury safaris suit families, honeymoons, anniversaries and milestone celebrations. Private vehicles let you adjust game drive length for children or older travelers, and many camps offer family tents, private meals and activities. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris can add surprises such as bush dinners or cakes. Please carry travel insurance and consult your doctor or a travel clinic about health precautions before you travel. Tell us your interests and ages beforehand.

The best time for most luxury safaris is the dry season from late June to October, when wildlife is easy to see and weather is reliable. January to early March is excellent for calving season in the southern Serengeti. The March to May rains bring green scenery and quiet camps, though some close. Great Migration movements vary with rainfall, so your private itinerary is planned flexibly. Ask us about timing for your chosen priorities.

A tailor-made luxury safari normally includes accommodation in handpicked lodges or tented camps, meals, a private vehicle with an expert guide, park entry fees, airport transfers and game drives. Many itineraries add scenic flights, balloon rides or private dinners. International flights, visas, insurance and tips are usually separate. Because every journey is designed individually, Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris lists exactly what is covered in your proposal, so you can see the full picture before you confirm and focus on the experiences that matter to you. We tailor every detail around your wishes.

Pack lightweight neutral layers, a warm fleece for early drives, a sun hat, sunscreen, comfortable shoes and binoculars. Add smart-casual clothes for dinner and a swimsuit for camp pools. Choose soft-sided bags, because light aircraft between camps have strict luggage limits, and most luxury camps offer laundry service. Ask your doctor or a travel clinic about health precautions before you go. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris sends a tailored packing list for your private itinerary, adjusted to the parks and season you choose. Luggage is lighter than most people expect when laundry is included at camps.

Yes, a private luxury safari in Tanzania is considered safe with experienced, licensed professionals. Your private guide knows the terrain, reads animal behaviour and briefs you before each drive, while camps follow careful routines for guests after dark. Tanzania has a long tradition of welcoming visitors. For health questions, including malaria and vaccinations, speak to your doctor or a travel clinic well before departure, and arrange good travel insurance. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris stays in contact with your guide throughout your tailor-made trip. Your wellbeing always comes first on every drive and walk.

Most guests fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport near Arusha for northern parks, or into Dar es Salaam for southern ones, and many continue by light aircraft between camps. Zanzibar also has international connections. Your private driver-guide or pilot transfer meets you on arrival and stays with you through the journey. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris arranges airport meetings, domestic flights and all road transfers within your tailor-made itinerary, so every connection is smooth and you reach each camp rested and ready to enjoy it. Longer journeys can also link Tanzania with Zanzibar or other East African destinations.

Tipping is customary in Tanzania and is a kind way to thank guides, camp staff and drivers, although it is never required. Amounts depend on your satisfaction with the service. Many travellers carry small notes in US dollars or Tanzanian shillings and tip in person at the end of each stay, with a separate thank-you for the private guide. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris includes clear tipping guidance in your pre-departure notes, so you can plan your budget and thank your team with confidence. Gratitude is always appreciated and never expected beyond what feels right.
