Private, tailor-made safaris · Arusha, Tanzania
Unleash the Explorer in You with Discover Tanzania
We design private, tailor-made safaris across the whole of Tanzania, from the Serengeti’s great herds to the Ngorongoro Crater, the roof of Africa and the Swahili coast.
No two of our journeys are ever the same. Yours will be built for you alone.
Why Discover Tanzania?
More than a safari company.
We are storytellers and lifelong explorers who build journeys around the people in them. We have a deep, lived love for Tanzania’s wildlife, cultures and landscapes, and we turn them into something you carry home for good: the hush before a lion moves, a child’s face at the crater rim, a dinner under the Milky Way that no one wants to end.
“Anyone can take you to Tanzania. We design the one you will never stop talking about.”
What Sets Us Apart
Four things we never compromise
Tailor-made, always
No two journeys are the same. Every trip is drawn by hand around who is travelling and what they came to feel.
Guides who know the bush
Tanzanian naturalists and trackers who grew up reading this land, and who turn a sighting into an understanding.
Considered comfort
Camps and lodges chosen for place over polish, low-footprint, beautifully run, exactly where you want to wake up.
Exclusively yours
A private safari, never shared. Your own guide, your own vehicle, and camps chosen for where they sit and how few people share them.
The Northern Circuit
The legends, and a country beyond them
The icons most journeys are built around, the names you already know. They are where Tanzania begins, a doorway to a country far larger than its headlines.

The Showpiece
Where the herds are right now
A million and a half wildebeest never stop moving. Our live map models their position from the seasonal pattern of the Great Migration, so you can plan a journey around the herds, not the calendar.
Short rains pull the herds back south through the north-east.
Guest Stories
The trips they never stop talking about
“From start to finish, Discover Tanzania offered a brilliant service. With the help of the DT team, we were able to plan our dream safari holiday, incorporating everything we wanted to do and more. From Tanzanite experiences in Arusha and hot-air balloon safaris over the Serengeti to snorkeling in the Indian Ocean whilst in Zanzibar- it really had it all. The hand-picked safari lodges were stunning, and the staff at every location were welcoming and attentive to our every need. Discover Tanzania was also immensely accommodating of changes to our itinerary to suit what we wanted to do. Meaning we didn't need to worry about anything from touch-down in Arusha to departure. I really couldn't recommend Discover Tanzania enough. We will most definitely be using them on our next trip to Tanzania!”

“I had the most incredible experience with Discover Tanzania Limited on a 5 day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti. Every part of the trip was excellent and seamlessly organized, from start to finish. The personal touches made all the difference; from thoughtful details in the planning to the warm hospitality throughout the journey. The balloon safari over the Serengeti was truly a once in a lifetime highlight, and everything else, from the game drives to the lodges, exceeded expectations. I can't recommend Discover Tanzania enough if you want a safari that's not just well run, but also made special with care and attention. Thank you for such a memorable adventure!”

“My trip with Discover Tanzania was nothing but the best and smoothest experience as someone who has never travelled to Africa or the exciting safari exploration. The team at Discover Tanzania were very thoughtful in providing a tailored itinerary based on my requirements, and was also constantly checking in once I was on the ground in Tanzania. I cannot recommend a better company than Discover Tanzania to experience this once in a lifetime experience.”
