How a safari with Ahsante comes together
Nothing here is a fixed departure. You tell us the dates, the budget and what you most want to see, and we build the route around where the animals will actually be that month.
Tell us the shape of the trip
Dates, how many of you, rough budget per person and whether you care most about big cats, the migration or getting away from other vehicles.
We draft the route
Within four hours you get a day-by-day itinerary with named lodges, driving times and an itemised price. We say what we would change and why.
You change it freely
Swap lodges, add a night, drop a park, bolt on Zanzibar or a Kilimanjaro climb. Redrafts are unlimited and cost nothing.
We hold the bookings
A 30% deposit secures lodges and park permits. Balance is due 30 days before arrival, and we meet you at Kilimanjaro airport ourselves.
Where you will be going
The northern circuit is the classic first safari. The southern and western parks are wilder, quieter and reached by light aircraft.
Serengeti
14,750 km2 · Northern circuitEndless plains, the highest lion density in Africa and the stage for the migration.Best: Jun to Oct, Jan to Mar
Ngorongoro Crater
260 km2 · Northern circuitA collapsed caldera holding 25,000 animals, including black rhino you are unlikely to see elsewhere in Tanzania.Best: Year round
Tarangire
2,850 km2 · Northern circuitBaobabs and the largest elephant herds in the north. Dramatically underrated.Best: Jun to Oct
Lake Manyara
330 km2 · Northern circuitGroundwater forest, huge baboon troops and tree-climbing lions if you are lucky.Best: Jun to Oct, Nov to Dec
Nyerere (Selous)
30,893 km2 · Southern circuitThe largest protected area in Africa, with boat safaris on the Rufiji and walking safaris.Best: Jun to Oct
Ruaha
20,226 km2 · Southern circuitBaobab country with exceptional leopard and wild dog, and greater kudu. Very few vehicles.Best: Jun to Nov
What a day actually looks like
Early starts and long afternoons. The timings shift with the park and the season, but the shape of the day rarely changes.
05:45 Coffee and out
Hot drinks at the vehicle and on the road by first light, which is when cats are still moving.
09:00 Breakfast in the bush
A proper cooked breakfast set up somewhere with a view, usually two hours into the drive.
11:00 Back to camp
Midday heat pushes animals into shade, so you do too. Lunch, a swim, a couple of quiet hours.
16:00 Afternoon game drive
Out again as the temperature drops and predators start to stir.
19:00 Sundowner and dinner
Drinks as the light goes, then dinner and a briefing on the morning plan.

Camps and lodges, three tiers
Accommodation is the single biggest lever on the price of a safari. We quote named properties, never “or similar”.
Tented camps
Walk-in tents with real beds, en-suite bucket showers and a mess tent. Closest to the wildlife and the best value.Included in the prices above
Mid-range lodges
Permanent lodges with pools, hot water and buffet dining. The tier most of our guests choose.Adds roughly $90 per person per night
Luxury camps
Small, private, and positioned where the game is rather than where the road is.Adds roughly $420 per person per night
The Ahsante safari packing list
Two pages on what to wear, what camera kit is worth carrying and the soft luggage limits on light aircraft. Written by our guides.
One email with the PDF. No newsletter unless you ask for one.
What guests say afterwards
Questions about a Tanzania safari
Park fees alone run $70 to $80 per person per day, plus concession and crater fees, which is why credible mid-range safaris start near $350 a day. Our prices include park fees, accommodation, all meals on safari, a private 4×4 and your guide. Flights, visas, drinks and tips are extra.
June to October is the reliable dry season and the window for the Mara River crossings. February is the best month for the calving and predator action. April and May are wet but cost far less and the country looks extraordinary.
Northern for a first safari: the Serengeti and the Crater in one loop, driveable, and the migration. Southern for a second visit or if crowds bother you, with boat and walking safaris in Nyerere and superb cats in Ruaha.
Every itinerary on this page is private. You have your own vehicle, your own guide and your own timings. We do not pool strangers into a Land Cruiser unless you ask to join a shared departure to cut the cost.
Most of our guests do. A three or four day safari sits naturally before a climb as gentle acclimatisation, and Zanzibar afterwards is a one hour flight from Arusha. We book the internal flights and transfers.
Yes, from around six upwards in our experience. We shorten game drives, pick lodges with pools and family rooms, and brief the guide accordingly. Some luxury camps have minimum ages, which we flag in your quote.
Yellow fever is required only if you arrive from an endemic country. Most travellers take malaria prophylaxis, which is a conversation for your doctor. Travel insurance covering medical evacuation is a condition of booking.
We publish a guideline per vehicle per day for your guide, and per stay for lodge staff, and hand you a written breakdown at your arrival briefing. Nothing is expected beyond it.
