WE'VE GOT A SAFARI FOR YOU

The World’s Most Amazing and Sustainable Safari

Responsible and Authentic Tanzania Safari

Welcome to Safari ASAP

Join us and experience Tanzania safaris which will charm you, and leave the dust of Serengeti settled firmly in your heart.
Only a few countries in Africa offer wildlife holidays which can rival Tanzania safaris.

Safari ASAP can arrange safaris using permanent safari lodges or a less expensive and closer to nature experience of camping under canvas.

We have a small fleet of well maintained four wheel drive vehicles staffed by experienced driver/guides who have intimate knowledge of the National Parks in Tanzania. Safari ASAP own fleet of Land Cruisers makes it possible to provide reliable transport into the remote areas of National Parks and game reserves. They are all equipped with a roof hatch for optimum game viewing, charger sockets and a refrigerator. Each vehicle has seven seats but we recommend only six people for comfort and access to window seats.

Safari ASAP arrange safaris to all of the main parks, but of course we can plan anything from a two night visit to Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire to something much more extensive. Just let us know what you would like to do.

Travel With Safari ASAP

There are hidden forests where chimps rattle down the trees at great speed and mighty rivers where crocs lay in wait for their prey. The big 5, the small 5 and the pretty 5 all exist. There are vibrantly coloured birds and a snow capped mountain towering over the Masai steppe. Tanzania safaris offer a wide variety of exhilarating safari experiences, from the natural wonder of Ngorongoro Crater to the wide open plains of Serengeti. The forested slopes of Mahale and Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania’s deepest lake.

Serengeti wins the accolade of having the highest number of predators in one National Park. It is also the home of the wildebeest migration. Tanzania safaris offer wide ranging holiday options and opportunities for the first timer to the seasoned safari explorer.

You can explore and enjoy safaris in Selous and Ruaha, which offer you a unique and off the beaten track safari experience. You can visit Katavi in western Tanzania which is filled with wildlife and is often yours to enjoy in peace and tranquility and the only other human company you will have is your guide.

There are lots of child-friendly locations presenting the younger traveller with great learning experiences and interactions with wildlife and culture. There are luxuriously romantic safari camps and secret retreats for those looking for an extraordinary and indulgent honeymoon experience, just the two of you and sounds of the African bush. Tanzania safaris do offer you a world of wildlife in one country. Visiting Tanzania is not all about safari; it is also about people, culture and new experiences. Zanzibar has endless white sandy beaches, coral reefs and the warm Indian Ocean to enjoy.

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro with a Local Company

Ethical Kilimanjaro Climb Tours

Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the seven summits of the world and is a fantastic challenge. It is the highest free-standing peak and also the highest trekable one. An attempt on Kilimanjaro should not be taken lightly. It is physically demanding and definitely mentally challenging. The view from the top is incredible and worth the hard work.

You must be fit, well prepared and have a professional registered and licensed Kilimanjaro guide with you at all times. Kilimanjaro ASAP is both very professional, reputable, well organised and ethical.

Please contact Thomas on WhatsApp or ENQUIRE NOW. I am a mountaineer as well as enjoying all things African, and will be happy to let you know my thoughts and experiences.

Where Paradise Meets Culture

Visit Zanzibar After a Safari or Trekking

White sand beaches, coconut trees, translucent waters, magnificent lagoons, the Indian Ocean invites you to relax and be lazy… a stay in Zanzibar, Pemba, or Mafia is the ideal change of scenery after a superb safari in the savannah…

Whether it’s just for a few days of relaxation or for a week’s stay, the beaches of the Indian Ocean are a haven of peace!

A stay in Zanzibar is full of interest, it allows you to combine seaside pleasures with the discovery of the splendors of a vanished past, visit the old town, explore its typical alleys and stroll as you wish…

For all stays in Zanzibar, we strongly recommend a discovery of Stone Town with its very special charm and a seaside stay on the North or East coast of the island.

Responsible Tourism

”Naturally, it is impossible to ensure that every tour companies in Tanzania operates ethically even though registered with Western Project, but at Safari ASAP, we have made every effort to keep ethical and environmental concerns in mind while planning our trips to Mount Kilimanjaro and our Tanzanian wildlife safaris.”

With a contribution to GDP of 3,368.7 million in 2023, tourism is Tanzania’s second-largest source of income from outside. When properly managed, it may strengthen regional economies and even protect cultural practices that might otherwise be lost. Uncontrolled tourism, however, may have a negative impact on local populations and result in irreparable environmental harm.

We at Safari ASAP are fervently devoted to travel to Tanzania and Zanzibar. We strongly believe that traveling is the best way to properly comprehend the world we live in and the people we share it with. Additionally, during the past several decades, tourism has significantly benefited developing economies all over the world.

However, the remarkable increase in tourism has also caused irreparable harm to some locations, and it goes without saying that most modes of transportation, notably flying, promote climate change. This means that in order to get the most out of your journey and ensure that the most beautiful parts of the earth are preserved for future generations to enjoy, it is more crucial than ever to travel deliberately, ethically, and with respect for the cultures, you encounter.

Eco Credentials

Consider how much you and the services you use contribute to the local economy, whether it’s through booking and hiring local guides and team crew, purchasing locally produced food, or any other means. Instead of merely checking off things from your bucket list, try travel with a purpose. Take into account staying longer in a location to get to know it and its inhabitants.

Keep them free of wrongdoings including racism, physical mistreatment of employees, miserly donations to local communities, and participation in any corruption. Please, as a visitor, take your duty seriously. At Safari ASAP, we treat every member of our crew as if they were a single unit, and we distribute any donation made from the trip to all of the participants.

Take into account both the atmosphere at home and when traveling. In many developing nations, water is in short supply, and tourism can have a negative impact on the biodiversity of the local flora and wildlife. Try to support companies who consider this. Make your excursions climate-neutral and when feasible.

Safari ASAP also recruits employees from the nearby community as far as possible. This contribution is then dedicated to social development projects in the community.

Guests from time to time help with donations and contributions and Safari ASAP channels them to their appropriate causes.

Tanzania Adventure

”Alive with history, wildlife, Maasai warriors, a sun-drenched coastline and towering Mount Kilimanjaro, luxury vacations in Tanzania offer an intoxicating African experience. Explore Ngorongoro, the largest volcanic crater on the planet, and discover why over 25,000 significant African animals make it their home. Game drives, guided walks and VIP safari lodges make the world-famous Serengeti a spectacular stage, second-to-none for the sheer magnitude of ‘Big Five’ animals. Designing the ideal luxury tour of Tanzania has to include meeting the Maasai people, taking a hot-air balloon ride, and soaking up the blazing sunsets.”

Tanzania Safari Regions

Tanzania is the largest of the countries in East Africa, 3 times the size of the United Kingdom with 63 million people. A third of the country’s area is devoted to the conservation of nature.

This shows the importance Tanzania places on tourism and wildlife conservation.

The Great Migration

Dubbed the Greatest Show on Earth, to rival any of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s famous West-end musicals, the migration of millions of wildlife in the Serengeti ecosystem (comprising Serengeti and Maasai Mara), is a spectacle like no other in the world. Read more about the great migration here.

Mount Kilimanjaro Treks

Very few people haven’t heard of this majestic and mysterious snow-capped mountain, Africa’s highest peak, standing 3 degrees south of the Equator. Read more about our trek tours here. With over 120 indigenous tribes, Tanzania has an incredibly rich cultural as well as natural heritage. With such massive land areas to cover, Safari ASAP has divided the sections covering Tanzania into four main areas:

By far the most famous landmarks and wildlife spectacles in the world are concentrated in this area – Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, Kilimanjaro and Olduvai Gorge to name a few. The region is also famous for it massive coffee, maize and banana plantations with its rich and fertile volcanic soils providing the country’s biggest bread basket. It is also in Northern Tanzania that one of the world’s most precious gemstones is mined – TANZANITE, at the Mererani hills between Kilimanjaro and Arusha.

This region is home to the largest wildlife reserve and national parks on the continent – Selous and Ruaha, home to over 150,000 elephant, over 40,000 hippo and a great number of Big Cats, gazelle and bird species.

It is also one of the most beautiful and rugged landscapes with the Udzungwa mountain range and the Rufiji and Great Ruaha Rivers providing permanent water sources to the game parks and villages. For ease of navigation, Safari ASAP has also included the eastern areas in this part, including East Africa’s onlyh coastal national park – Saadani, a small but unique park where bush meets beach.

A truly unspoilt part of Tanzania, this region is home to Africa’s deepest lake, Lake Tanganyika and the Mahale mountain range where different primate species are found, including habituated groups of chimpanzees made famous by Jane Goodall and her research team back in the 1970s.

Mahale, Gombe and Katavi national parks are truly exclusive areas ideal for the safari connoiseur seeking a rugged experience with diverse landscapes and wildlife species. The third largest national park in Tanzania, Katavi has great numbers of wildlife such as topi and buffalo as well as the endangered wild dog (or African hunting dog).

Bordering the Indian Ocean, Tanzania’s historical past has brought settlers from all over the world particularly from Arabia, India, Portugal, Germany and England.

The Swahili Coast has remnants of the country’s infamous past steeped in the history of slave trade, however there are also beautiful parts some of which remain unspoilt such as the white (in some parts golden) sandy beaches, beautiful coral reefs, protected areas offering refuge to numerous endemic species such as red colobus monkey, green turtle and even the ancient coelecanth.

Tanzania is therefore the country that most discerning visitors will want to visit if not once, then at least two or three times in their lifetime. Having the biggest, best, most diverse and enviable landscapes and cultural heritage makes those who have visited the country yearn to return for more.

Safari at a Glance

We can answer your travel questions such as; When is the best time to go to Tanzania? What is the right children’s age to travel with? Where to see the big 5? These are all questions we love and we can answer them.

Tanzania is an easy country to reach. There are daily flights from most regional airports in Europe and the rest of the World. There are two main international airports in Tanzania, Kilimanjaro and Dar es Salaam. From either airport you can be in a National Park within two hours, sitting and watching amazing wildlife spectacles.

We are passionate about minimising the impact of tourism on the land and people in Tanzania, we will help you find camps and lodges which promote sustainable tourism and help you to plan your activities while you’re away.

Best time to travel to Tanzania

Tanzania is excellent to visit year-round. Peak season for a Tanzanian safari is December-March (warmest season, temps ranging between 20-25 deg C inland and 32-39 deg C on the coast) and June-August (mainly due to the Great Migration in the Serengeti; temps ranging from 10 deg C at Ngorongoro Crater and 15-18deg C in Serengeti to about 25 deg C on the coast).

Shoulder seasons for a Tanzania safari (ideal times to visit outside peak times) are March, September-November. Low season for a Tanzanian safari is between April and May mainly due to the long rains at that time of year, however the area is green and wildlife flourish during this time, so it is a good time to visit (especially good to visit south-western Serengeti, Maswa plains as this is where the wildebeest young start their first of many migrations with the rest of the herds across the Serengeti).

The advantage of visiting in April-May is that you can make full use of massive price discounts for lodge accommodations (camping isn’t suitable in this season) as well as great international flight deals. Contact us for more information on when you wish to visit Tanzania or to book a Tanzanian safari. Note that most camps and lodges in southern and western Tanzania are closed for renovations and staff holidays during April-May as those areas tend to get water logged making accessibility more difficult.

We also do not conduct any mountain treks in April-May as the trails are quite treacherous at that time of year. However Northern Tanzanian safaris (as well as those in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda) continue to operate throughout the year and you may opt to drive or fly in light aircraft between parks.

Safari Accommodation

Accommodation in Tanzania varies from luxurious to simple, with luxury mobile camping on safari being especially attractive and more exclusive. For those on a tight budget, we can arrange Tanzanian safaris with basic mobile camping; other accommodation options whilst on a Tanzanian safari include mid range lodge accommodation or semi luxury camping (mobile camping).

All of our camping safaris include three meals a day on safari (plus snacks and hot beverages) prepared by a professional camp cook. More luxurious accommodations on safari in Tanzania include treetop lodges as well as permanent tented camps and luxury mobile tented camps which tend to be more exclusive and offer a more personalised service. Likewise at coastal and beach destinations in Tanzania, there is a wide range of accommodations from simple beach hotels to larger resorts or the more exclusive beach properties with private villa and bungalows.

Accommodations before and after a Tanzanian safari can be arranged in Dar es Salaam, Arusha or Zanzibar in various city hotels or quaint, charming lodges just outside the main city centres.

A range of accommodation choices in Tanzania can be found on our accommodation pages.

Sustainable Safari Tours

During the safari with Safari ASAP, we make sure our clients are spending nights in the eco-lodges that protect the environment. We strongly encourage not using single plastic products like straws or plastic bags.

In addition, we travel while doing different activities that impact the community like school visiting, involve in local food classes, village walks, market tours, city walk tours or visiting community centres and projects like tree planting, together these can minimise the impact on the environment and ecology at the same time get to understand better the local culture and enjoy your travel more authentically.

We make sure all our tours contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals at the same time leaving the clients with unforgettable experiences.
