Taste of Tanzania Safaris

A Taste of Tanzania safari is a private, tailor-made trip that samples the country's most famous highlights in one journey, usually the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara, often with a Zanzibar beach extension. With Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris, every trip is individual and private, with your own 4x4 vehicle and expert guide, and can be designed at budget, mid-range or luxury level around your dates and interests.

Five to seven days is ideal for tasting Tanzania's northern highlights: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. Three or four days covers Tarangire and Ngorongoro if time is short. Eight to twelve days allows more Serengeti time, Ndutu during calving season or southern parks, and 12 to 15 days lets you add Zanzibar's beaches or a Kilimanjaro climb to your trip.

June to October is the dry season, with excellent game viewing and Great Migration river crossings in the northern Serengeti. January to March brings calving season in Ndutu and the southern Serengeti. November and December offer green scenery and fewer vehicles, while the long rains usually fall from March to May. Tanzania offers rewarding wildlife year-round, and our local team helps you choose the right month.

Yes. Every Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris tour is an individual private safari, with your own vehicle and professional guide, never shared with strangers. You choose when to start each day, how long to stay at sightings and when to rest. When family or friends travel together in one private vehicle, the cost per person is lower.

Prices depend on trip length, season, accommodation level, internal flights and the number of travelers sharing your private vehicle. Budget camping safaris are the most affordable, mid-range lodge safaris offer strong value, and luxury safaris with exclusive camps and flights cost more. Park and conservation fees are set by the authorities and can change, so we provide a free, itemized quote for each itinerary.

Tours typically include a private 4x4 vehicle with pop-up roof, a professional English-speaking guide, park and conservation fees, accommodation, most meals, drinking water and airport transfers. Internal flights, balloon safaris and Zanzibar stays can be added. International flights, visas, travel insurance, tips and personal expenses are usually excluded. Every quote lists inclusions and exclusions clearly, with no hidden costs.

Lodge safaris use comfortable lodges or permanent tented camps with en-suite rooms, restaurants and often pools. Camping safaris use public or seasonal campsites with simple dome tents and shared facilities, offering an adventurous, budget-friendly way to see the same parks and wildlife. Both include your private vehicle and guide, and we can mix both styles in one itinerary.

Yes. Many travelers finish with three to five nights on Zanzibar's beaches, reached by a short flight from the Serengeti or Arusha. Others climb Kilimanjaro before or after their safari. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris arranges all flights, transfers, lodges and rest nights so every part of your Tanzania holiday connects smoothly.
