Why Choose a Tanzania Safari?

Tanzania is considered one of the best safari destinations in the world because of its incredible wildlife density, protected conservation areas, and unique ecosystem diversity.

Travelers visiting Tanzania can expect to see the famous Big Five animals, seasonal wildlife migration, and rare bird species across different habitats.

Unlike standard holidays, a safari in Tanzania is about immersion in nature. Early morning game drives, sunset wildlife viewing, and expert-guided excursions create unforgettable memories.

At Benson Safaris, we focus on responsible tourism, wildlife conservation awareness, and authentic cultural experiences.

Serengeti Safari Experience - The Heart of African Wildlife

The legendary Serengeti is home to one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth.

Every year, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes move across the plains in search of fresh grazing and water sources. This natural migration is one of the most dramatic wildlife events globally.

Visitors can enjoy:

  • Early morning game drives
  • Hot air balloon safaris (premium experience)
  • Predator sightings including lions and leopards

Our fly-in safari packages allow travelers to reach remote safari camps quickly and comfortably, maximizing wildlife viewing time while minimizing long travel distances.

Ngorongoro Crater - Nature’s Wildlife Sanctuary

The Ngorongoro Crater is often called the world’s largest natural wildlife amphitheater.

Inside the crater, visitors can see dense concentrations of animals in a relatively small area. This makes wildlife viewing easier compared to larger national parks.

Game viewing inside the crater may include:

  • Elephants
  • Rhinos
  • Lions
  • Flamingos near crater lakes

Because of its unique ecosystem, the Ngorongoro area is a must-visit destination for first-time safari travelers.

Tarangire National Park - The Land of Giants

Tarangire is famous for its large elephant populations and iconic baobab trees.

During the dry season, wildlife congregates near the Tarangire River, making animal sightings highly predictable and rewarding.

This park is perfect for travelers who want:

  • Quiet safari experiences
  • Excellent photography opportunities
  • Close wildlife encounters

Fly-In Safari Adventures - Luxury Travel Made Easy

One of the best ways to experience Tanzania is through fly-in safari packages.

Instead of spending long hours driving between parks, travelers can fly directly between safari destinations. This is especially useful for luxury travelers and honeymoon couples.

Fly-in safaris provide:
✔ More time for wildlife viewing
✔ Comfortable travel experiences
✔ Access to remote luxury camps

Benson Safaris carefully plans flight logistics to ensure smooth transfers and premium comfort.

Zanzibar Beach Holidays - The Perfect Safari Ending

No Tanzania safari is complete without relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar Island.

After days of wildlife adventure, Zanzibar offers:

  • White sandy beaches
  • Clear turquoise ocean waters
  • Cultural heritage tours

Visitors can explore historic Stone Town, enjoy fresh seafood, or simply relax by the Indian Ocean coastline.

Zanzibar is the perfect fly-out destination after a safari adventure.

Best Time to Visit Tanzania for Safari

Tanzania offers excellent safari experiences year-round, but timing affects wildlife viewing and pricing.

High Season (June – October)

  • Best time for Great Migration viewing
  • Cooler and dry weather
  • Higher accommodation prices

Green Season (November – May)

  • Lower prices
  • Beautiful green landscapes
  • Fewer tourists

Shoulder seasons often offer the best balance between value and experience

  • Exclusive lodges

Mid-Range Safaris

good safari experience Very professional team, Daphne is the sales she is very helpful and thoughtful, always respond fast even on weekends. Charles is very experienced tour guide, he can spot lions on the tree from hundres meters away with his eagle eyes. He can also detect animals simply by his nose which is amazing to us. During the safari, we saw a pride of over 20 lions, which is extremely rare, and we saw a leopard and a lion lying on the same tree... Overall I'm glad to choose Benson safari especially with the help from Daphne.

Incredible experience! We had the most incredible safari in Tanzania with Benson Safaris, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they tailored the entire trip exactly to what we wanted. They were always available to answer our questions before and during the trip, constantly checking in and making sure everything was perfect. That level of care and attention made us feel completely at ease. Exploring the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, we saw more animals than we could have ever imagined — lions, elephants, giraffes, and so much more. Our guide, Liberatus, was truly fantastic — so knowledgeable, and passionate. He made every game drive exciting and shared incredible insights about the wildlife and surroundings. We especially loved that Benson is locally owned. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and we can’t recommend them highly enough.

Begeistertert! Wir haben im Februar eine einwöchige Safari mit Bensons gemacht und sind hoch zufrieden! Die Safari hat all unsere Erwartungen übertroffen, wir haben alle dort vorkommenden größeren Tierarten gesehen und viel über die Tiere, die Natur und deren Schutz in den Nationalparks gelernt. Dabei geht ein großes Dankeschön an Simba, unseren hervorragenden Guide! Er wusste unglaublich viel und hat all unsere vielen Fragen geduldig und mit viel Hintergrundwissen und Erfahrung beantwortet. Auch die Lodges waren ausnahmslos super, mitten drin in der Natur, alle mit wlan, Heißwasser, Moskitonetzen in Mückengebieten und bequemen Betten. Das Personal war sehr bemüht und meist gab es abwechslungsreiche Buffets. Unsere Tour beinhaltete die Nationalparks Tarangire, Ndutu, offene Serengeti und den Ngorongoro-Krater. Alles sehr zu empfehlen, Bensons hat uns eine super Route zusammengestellt und all unsere Wünsche möglich gemacht. Ganz vielen Dank, wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!

Once in a lifetime experience. From the initial contact to the final drop off Benson Safaris were friendly, helpful & professional. Every effort was made to unsure our comfort & enjoyment of our safari & stay in Tanzania. Zablon worked hard to find us not just the ‘big five’ but also the birds & small animals to show the full ecology of the area. The hotels they chose for our mid-level pricing were very comfortable & clean. The food was fairly basic at the tented safari camps especially the lunches but this may be a common theme due to their resources. I would definitely recommend Benson Safaris.

Perfect tailor-made moneymoon safari! ​We chose Banson Safari for our 6-day honeymoon tour through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, including amazing stops at Lake Manyara and Kilimanjaro. It was an incredible experience from start to finish. Benson was fantastic and surprised us with a lovely and much appreciated gift for our honeymoon, but a special mention must go to our guide, Liberatus. ​Liberatus is truly "number one"—his knowledge of the local flora and fauna is unmatched, and his ability to spot wildlife is legendary. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, including the black rhino and the leopard. As a photography enthusiast, I also truly appreciated how he positioned the vehicle to ensure I got the perfect shots. If you want a professional and personalized safari in Tanzania, we cannot recommend Banson Safari and Liberatus enough!

Ein wahrlich wahnsinnig schöner Urlaub Bei Benson Safaris haben wir für Silvester eine außergewöhnliche Safari gebucht. Die freundliche Mitarbeiterin Dolphine hat uns eine mega Reise geplant. Neben den tollen Parks u.a.. Serengeti konnten wir den Massai, einem Jägerstamm im Busch und einen Schmied besuchen. Dank ihrer zuverlässigen Unterstützung fühlte sich die Expedition von Anfang an perfekt betreut an, und selbst nach dem ersten Tag stand sie bereit, um Fragen zu klären und den Ablauf reibungslos zu gestalten. Z.B. haben wir spontan ein tansaniisches Restaurant besucht - klasse Essen in sehr schönem Ambiente. Unser Urlaub war eine unvergessliche Erfahrung, dank ihres Engagements und ihrer Kompetenz sowie unserem Guide, der ihre Planung und unsere zusätzlichen Wünsche ( lokalen Markt besuchen, gutes Restaurant heraussuchen und uns hinfahren, denn 10000 Elefanten und Löwen beachten, die Big 5 suchen und finden und und und) umsetzte. Unser Guide Francis war einfach super. Er hat uns sehr viel auf Deutsch erklärt und Informationen nachgeschlagen, wenn er sie nicht auf deutsch sofort wusste (englisch geht aber auch) Sehr erfahren in allen Parks, ein toller Fahrer, der Tiere entdeckt hat, die wir so nicht gefunden hätten. Er hat unsere Wünsche wahr werden lassen ( big5 finden) und die Safari dadurch besonders unvergesslich gemacht. Francis ist sehr fleißig und überraschte uns jeden Tag mit neuem Wortschatz. Seine Bereitschaft, Neues zu lernen, motiviert uns alle Tausende von Fragen zu stellen, die er uns dann auf deutsch beantwortete. Mit seiner freundlichen und lustigen Art erklärte er Zusammenhänge verständlich und sorgte dafür, dass jeder Schritt der Reise lehrreich und spannend blieb. Trotz jeden Tag stundenlanges Tiere jagen, war die Zeit sehr kurzweilig. Wir schätzen seine Begeisterung und das Engagement, das er jeden Tag für unsere Safari zeigte. Die geplanten Lodges auf unserer Reise sind für jeden ein Traum gewesen. Wir wurden kulinarisch sehr verwöhnt, der Ausblick auf die Natur war grandios und wir kamen aus dem Schwärmen überhaupt nicht raus. Die Kombination aus super Essen, Komfort und mega Ausblicken machte die Reise unvergesslich. Wir mussten nicht einmal auf eine warme Dusche in der Serengeti verzichten. Vielen Dank an Dolphine, Francis, unserem lokalen Guide bei den Jägern und allen, die uns so einen tollen Urlaub ermöglicht haben.

Een geweldig Tanzania-ervaring! We hebben een heerlijke trip naar Udzungwa en Mikumi gehad. Het contact en de adviezen per mail vooraf waren zeer goed, vriendelijk, efficiënt en zeer service-gericht. Dankzij een hele fijne gids, Abelli👌, hebben we supertrip gehad. Abelli had duidelijk plezier in zijn werk, was een zeer goede chauffeur (niet onbelangrijk als je zoals wij vanaf Dar es Salaam naar Udzungwa rijdt en weer terug), had veel kennis en luisterde goed naar onze wensen. Top! Absolute aanrader en voor herhaling vatbaar. Wij hebben bewust gekozen voor een lokale reisorganisatie, we reizen veel door Tanzania en ook dit keer was het een geweldige ervaring, dank daarvoor Benson Safaris!!!

Fantastic tour, highly recommend! We had excellent and professional service from Benson Safaris. Our driver and guide made sure we had everything possible to facilitate our stay throughout the trip. Even when we had some travel hiccups at the end of our trip (NOT Benson's fault), the company worked with us directly to develop alternative plans - always keeping our safety and enjoyment first. Our trip was spectacular from start to finish. The accommodations were beautiful and truly more luxurious than I could have expected. The daily visits in the incredible parks were filled with animals and finding and spotting interesting creatures was a special talent of our guide, Zablon. We always felt very well taken care of. The overall experience was a fantastic one - highly recommend this tour and Benson's Safaris for your next trip!

Safari und Strand – eine wunderbare Kombination Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Tansania. Über Benson Safari haben wir eine Safari im Tarangire-Nationalpark gemacht – inklusive Transfer und einem sehr schönen Mittagessen. Die Safari war ein echtes Highlight mit tollen Eindrücken und vielen besonderen Momenten. Im Anschluss waren wir im Kipepeo Beach nahe Dar es Salaam. Auch hier hat BensenSafari alles organisiert: den Transfer, die Betreuung vor Ort und die Übernachtungen. Wir hatten jederzeit einen festen Ansprechpartner, haben uns immer gut betreut und sicher gefühlt. Der Aufenthalt am Meer war einfach großartig, die Fahrt dorthin angenehm und gut organisiert. Auch der Rücktransfer zum Flughafen lief völlig unkompliziert. Insgesamt ließ sich alles entspannt und zuverlässig über BensenSafari planen und buchen. Eine rundum gelungene Reise mit vielen schönen Erinnerungen – wir können Benson Safari absolut weiterempfehlen.
