7- Days Budget safari through Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

A safari can be one of the most sociable holidays you will ever take! So why not head out to Africa with your friends and family, making up a small group or joining a group led by a renowned guide! There are a number of different group holiday safaris we operate across Tanzania.

1) You can join a Small private group safari These are tailor-made safaris for small private groups, so they’re ideal for friends and family members wishing to go on safari together. Group sizes are usually between three and six in one car. Our small group holidays can be some of the most affordable trips we operate

2) Pre-arranged group joining safari This type of safari involves joining a pre-arranged safari and it’s shared with other travellers in one safari vehicle and in the lodge, you may opt for the room arrangement as per you choice and we can craft for you. The experience is offered to single travellers, couples, and any number of persons making up a group. The advantage of this kind of safari is that it reduces the cost as much as the group became big.
