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

Amazing Kilimanjaro climb with this team My wife and I went on the Kilimanjaro climb, through the Machame route, and the Benson Safaris team, including the guides and the rest of the crew, were amazing people. We have traveled a lot and have been to many countries, but this team were the best. We felt very welcomed and supported throughout the multi-day hike. We had a great summit experience and a great celebration from the team after that. We will definitely go on the safari adventure with them. Genuinely great people.

Once in a lifetime safari We had a great time during our safari with Benson Safaris. From the very beginning Fortune was helpful and attentive, helping us to design our itinerary and adjust it to our budget and preferences. We did a cross country safari and had two guides, Edmund in Kenya and Carlos in Tanzania. They both were kind, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile to make our trip memorable. They have different personalities, naturally, but share the same sense of commitment and love for their work. I will always remember this experience and will be grateful to them for it.

four day safari across the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater As a trip of a lifetime for the family, this safari had to be extra special and Benson Safaris ensured that every step of the way we were given one of the most amazing experiences we will ever have. From shaping the right trip for us, to pre-planning check lists to the most wonderfully warm and experienced staff, I cannot speak highly enough of the service we had. We deliberately chose a local operator, not only to support local businesses but to also have a more personal touch. Dolphine was always on hand to answer any queries while our guide Liberatus was so friendly and immensely experienced (he's been driving safaris for more than 15 years) - giving us confidence that we would have the best wildlife sightings timed to avoid the larger crowds. He even managed to find us two sightings of leopards, which are notoriously hard to spot! The children gave up the count of the number of different species we saw at 30 plus but the incredible images and memories of four days on the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater will stay with us forever.

Ashrique & Krishna We travelled with Benson Safaris for our Kenya and Tanzania trip, and honestly, it was one of the best travel experiences we’ve had. From the start, the whole trip was very well planned. We crossed the Kenya–Tanzania border and then came back into Kenya, and all the immigration and border formalities were surprisingly smooth. The team was always there to guide us and help whenever needed, which made a big difference. The accommodations were another highlight. We stayed at some really beautiful places, but Olerai Lodge, Friends Camp and Khumbu Khumbu Luxury Resorts deserve a special mention. Each one had its own charm, and the food throughout the trip was genuinely excellent. After spending hours out on safari, coming back to a good meal and a comfortable place to stay was something we really appreciated. Our guides, Martin and Zab, were a huge part of what made the trip special. Martin was very knowledgeable and patient, and you could tell that he genuinely enjoyed what he was doing. And then there was Zab — the Mayor of Serengeti! Honestly, I’m not sure how the trip would have been without him. He talked constantly, cracked jokes, knew everyone we came across, and somehow always seemed to know where the animals were. But beyond being a great guide, he became a friend during the trip. Some of our best memories are simply from sitting in the jeep listening to Zab talk about life, the Serengeti and pretty much everything else. He has this wonderful way of looking at life — simple, positive and full of humour. By the end, it felt less like we had hired a guide and more like we were travelling around with a friend who happened to know the Serengeti incredibly well. The actual safari experience was unbelievable. The Great Migration, the river crossings, lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, hippos and all the smaller animals in between — there was something new every single day. What I really liked was that the guides didn’t just point out animals; they helped us understand what was happening around us and how the whole ecosystem fits together. We did this trip to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, so it was already going to be a special trip for us. But Benson Safaris and the team made it much more memorable than we expected. A big thank you to everyone at Benson Safaris, to Martin, and especially to Zab, the Mayor of Serengeti, for making this such an incredible experience. We would happily travel with Benson Safaris again. And if we do make it back to the Serengeti someday, I really hope the Mayor is still around to show us around.

Absolute Dream Safari! Flawless Logistics, Upgrades and the Best Guide Wow, what an absolutely mind-blowing experience with Benson’s Safari! From the very first email to our final goodbye, they were spectacular every single step of the way. Fortune was our superstar booking agent. She custom-crafted multiple incredible options for us and pulled off absolute magic by scoring us last-minute upgrades at three of our hotels! Our guide, Zablone, was a true legend. He drove us from Arusha all the way to the Northern Serengeti with so much pride and enthusiasm. He went completely above and beyond, working tirelessly to ensure we witnessed a breathtaking river crossing. It was unforgettable! We felt completely taken care of because Benson's had a dedicated representative with us at every single transition. We never had to stress about a single logistical detail. Do not hesitate for a second to book with them—they are the absolute best!

GREAT!!! HAKUNA MATATA! We had an extraordinarily valuable experience on this trip. Grace was highly responsible and responded promptly to all our inquiries. Mr. Benson was humorous and engaging, and our guide, Carlos, was a true professional with exceptional expertise. On top of that, their quote was completely transparent with no hidden fees. I highly recommend them!

The Safari of a Lifetime - thanks to Benson We would highly recommend Benson! At first, we were a little hesitant about booking locally and paying the full amount in advance. However, from the very first moment, all our concerns disappeared. The communication was excellent, friendly, and professional. Our itinerary was completely tailored to our wishes and exceeded our expectations. Our first meeting with our guide, Zablon, immediately gave us confidence. He is incredibly experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife and nature. Thanks to him, we enjoyed an unforgettable 9-day safari. The picnic lunches were perfectly arranged every day, and all of the accommodations were excellent. Everything was well organized and taken care of down to the smallest detail. Thanks to Benson and Zablon, we had the trip of a lifetime. If you're looking for a reliable company that creates a personalized safari experience with outstanding service, we can wholeheartedly recommend Benson.
