Planning a Tanzania safari should be exciting, not complicated. With an all-inclusive safari package, you can explore some of Africa’s best wildlife destinations without having to arrange every part of your trip separately. From airport transfers and accommodation to national park fees, meals, and guided game drives, a well-organized safari package brings the main travel arrangements together under one booking.
At Eddy Tours & Safaris, we organize private Tanzania safaris for couples, families, groups of friends, and individual travelers. As a local tour company based in Arusha, Tanzania, we help visitors plan wildlife holidays that match their interests, travel dates, and budgets. Whether you want to spend three days exploring nearby national parks or enjoy a longer Serengeti safari, our team can help you choose a suitable itinerary.
Our Tanzania safari packages cover popular destinations such as Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara National Park. Travelers can choose budget camping, comfortable mid-range lodges, or luxury accommodation, depending on their preferences.
If you are planning to visit Tanzania in 2027, 2028, or 2029, you can contact Eddy Tours & Safaris to discuss your preferred travel dates and request a personalized quotation.
What Is an All-Inclusive Tanzania Safari?
An all-inclusive Tanzania safari is a travel package that brings together the main services required for a wildlife holiday. Instead of booking your safari vehicle, accommodation, park permits, meals, and transfers separately, you receive one itinerary and a quotation showing the services included in your trip.
A typical all-inclusive safari package covers transportation in a safari vehicle, a professional driver-guide, national park entry fees, accommodation, and meals during the safari. Airport transfers and drinking water may also be included, depending on the arrangements. Optional activities such as hot-air balloon flights, cultural visits, and domestic flights are usually quoted separately unless they are specifically included in the package.
The meaning of all-inclusive can vary between operators. For this reason, travelers should always review the written inclusions and exclusions before confirming their booking. At Eddy Tours & Safaris, we encourage guests to discuss their expectations in advance so that the final itinerary reflects their preferred accommodation, destinations, and travel arrangements.
Why Book an All-Inclusive Tanzania Safari?
One of the main advantages of booking an all-inclusive safari is convenience. Tanzania’s national parks cover large areas, and traveling between destinations requires careful planning. A well-organized itinerary takes into account driving distances, park entry arrangements, accommodation locations, and the time available for game drives.
Booking a complete package also makes it easier to understand the overall cost of your holiday. Rather than comparing separate accommodation, transport, and park expenses, you can review one quotation that identifies the main services. This is particularly useful for international travelers who may not be familiar with the distances between Tanzania’s wildlife destinations.
Another advantage is having a local team available to assist with your arrangements. When you book with Eddy Tours & Safaris, you can discuss your safari directly with a Tanzania-based company and receive advice about the most suitable parks for your travel period.
Explore Tanzania’s Best Safari Destinations
Serengeti National Park
Serengeti National Park is one of Tanzania’s most famous wildlife destinations and a major attraction for travelers visiting East Africa. Its wide grasslands, scattered acacia trees, and varied habitats support large populations of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and different antelope species. The park is also known for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration, during which large herds move through the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing and water.
A Serengeti safari is suitable for travelers interested in wildlife photography, predator sightings, and spending several days exploring the African savannah. Depending on the season, visitors may travel to different parts of the park to look for migrating herds. However, the migration is a natural event, and the exact location of the animals cannot be guaranteed for any particular date.
For a more relaxed experience, we generally recommend allowing at least two or three nights in the Serengeti. This provides more time for game drives and reduces the pressure of traveling long distances within a short itinerary.
Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater is another major highlight of a northern Tanzania safari. The crater is part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and contains grasslands, woodland, wetlands, and a soda lake within its volcanic caldera. These habitats support a wide range of wildlife, including lions, buffaloes, elephants, hippos, zebras, and several antelope species.
A game drive on the crater floor offers the opportunity to observe different animals within a relatively concentrated area. The surrounding crater walls also provide impressive views, making Ngorongoro popular with travelers who want to combine wildlife viewing with dramatic natural scenery.
Ngorongoro Crater is frequently included in three-, four-, five-, and seven-day Tanzania safari itineraries. Visitors normally travel from Karatu or the surrounding highlands before descending into the crater for a guided game drive.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park is particularly well known for its elephant populations and large baobab trees. The park lies southwest of Arusha and is a popular first destination for travelers beginning a northern Tanzania safari. Its varied habitats include riverine vegetation, open grassland, and woodland, creating opportunities to observe different wildlife species throughout the year.
During the drier months, animals often gather around the Tarangire River and other remaining water sources. Visitors may encounter elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, and several antelope species. Lions and other predators also occur in the park, although sightings depend on wildlife movements and conditions.
Tarangire is suitable for both short and extended safaris. It can be visited on a day trip from Arusha, but an overnight stay nearby or within the park allows more time for wildlife viewing.
Lake Manyara National Park
Lake Manyara National Park is located near the town of Mto wa Mbu, beneath the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Although smaller than Serengeti and Tarangire, the park offers a varied environment that includes groundwater forest, open grassland, wetlands, and the lake itself.
Visitors may encounter elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, baboons, and different bird species. The park is also associated with tree-climbing lions, although these animals are not guaranteed to be seen during a visit.
Lake Manyara can be included in a short Tanzania safari or combined with Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti on a longer itinerary. It is especially convenient for travelers moving between Arusha, Karatu, and the northern safari circuit.

Sample 7-Day All-Inclusive Tanzania Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Tanzania – Transfer to Arusha
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, you will be met by your arranged driver and transferred to your accommodation in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you may have an opportunity to relax at the hotel or explore a small part of the town. Your safari guide will explain the travel arrangements for the following day and answer any questions about the planned itinerary.
Arusha is the main starting point for many northern Tanzania safaris because of its location near Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and the roads leading toward Serengeti National Park. Spending the first night here allows travelers to rest after their international journey before beginning the safari.
Day 2: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, you will depart Arusha and travel toward Tarangire National Park. The journey passes through rural landscapes and local communities before reaching the park entrance. Once the necessary entry procedures are complete, your guide will begin the game drive, searching for wildlife along the park’s established roads.
Tarangire is particularly attractive because of its large baobab trees, elephant populations, and varied wildlife habitats. You may encounter giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, and different antelope species during the drive. Your guide will select suitable viewing areas according to wildlife activity and the time available. Later in the day, you will travel to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 3: Tarangire Area to Serengeti National Park
Following breakfast, you will begin the journey toward Serengeti National Park, traveling through the highlands and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The route offers changing scenery, from cultivated land and forested slopes to the open plains that characterize the Serengeti ecosystem.
After entering Serengeti National Park, your guide will begin a game drive while traveling toward your accommodation. Depending on the area and wildlife movements, you may encounter zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, and predators. The afternoon provides an introduction to the park’s landscapes before you continue to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 4: Full-Day Serengeti Wildlife Safari
Today is dedicated to exploring Serengeti National Park. After an early breakfast, you will depart for a morning game drive when temperatures are often cooler and many animals are active. Your guide will search for wildlife in areas known for recent animal activity, while also allowing time for photography and observation.
The Serengeti supports a wide range of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, and numerous herbivore species. If your travel dates coincide with the movement of the Great Migration herds through the area you are visiting, you may also have opportunities to observe large groups of wildebeest and zebras. However, migration sightings depend on natural movements and cannot be promised in advance.
You will enjoy lunch according to the day’s arrangements before continuing your afternoon game drive. Later, you will return to your accommodation for dinner and another night in the Serengeti.
Day 5: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highlands
After breakfast, you will enjoy a final game drive in Serengeti National Park before beginning the journey toward the Ngorongoro highlands. The morning provides another opportunity to observe wildlife as you travel through the park and surrounding conservation landscapes.
The drive toward Ngorongoro offers a change in scenery as the open plains gradually give way to higher elevations and greener landscapes. Depending on your accommodation arrangements, you may stay near the crater rim or in the Karatu area. After arrival, you will have time to rest and prepare for the following day’s visit to Ngorongoro Crater.
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive
Following an early breakfast, you will travel to the Ngorongoro Crater entrance and descend to the crater floor for a guided wildlife safari. The crater contains several habitats within a relatively small area, creating opportunities to observe different animal species during the same game drive.
Your guide will explore the crater’s grasslands, woodland, and wetland areas while looking for lions, buffaloes, elephants, hippos, zebras, and other wildlife. The crater is also one of the places in northern Tanzania where visitors may have an opportunity to see a black rhinoceros, although sightings are never guaranteed.
After completing the game drive, you will ascend from the crater and continue toward your accommodation in Karatu or the surrounding area for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 7: Return to Arusha – End of Safari
After breakfast, you will begin the return journey to Arusha. Depending on your departure schedule, there may be time for a short stop along the way before continuing to your hotel or airport.
Your driver will transfer you to the agreed drop-off location, marking the end of your seven-day Tanzania safari. If you would like to extend your holiday, Eddy Tours & Safaris can also help you plan additional days in Tanzania, including a Zanzibar beach holiday or a separate Kilimanjaro climbing expedition.
Budget, Mid-Range and Luxury Tanzania Safari Options
Budget Tanzania Safaris
Budget safaris are suitable for travelers who want to experience Tanzania’s national parks while keeping accommodation costs relatively low. These trips may use public campsites, simple lodges, or other affordable accommodation arrangements. The main focus remains wildlife viewing, with a professional guide and a suitable safari vehicle.
Budget packages can be especially attractive to travelers who are comfortable with basic facilities and prefer spending more of their travel budget on game drives and park visits.
Mid-Range Tanzania Safaris
Mid-range safaris offer a balance between comfort and overall cost. Accommodation may include comfortable lodges and permanent tented camps with private rooms, meals, and other facilities. This category is popular with couples, families, and small groups who want a comfortable place to relax after spending the day exploring national parks.
The exact accommodation depends on the selected itinerary, travel season, and availability at the time of booking.
Luxury Tanzania Safaris
Luxury safaris are designed for travelers who prefer higher-end accommodation and more personalized arrangements. Depending on the package, accommodation may include luxury lodges, exclusive tented camps, and properties located in attractive wildlife areas.
A luxury itinerary can also include domestic flights between selected destinations, additional private activities, and more flexible travel arrangements. These services should be confirmed in the quotation rather than assumed to be included automatically.
What Is Included in an All-Inclusive Tanzania Safari?
A typical all-inclusive safari package arranged by Eddy Tours & Safaris can include a private safari vehicle with a professional driver-guide, national park entrance fees, accommodation during the safari, meals according to the itinerary, and transfers between the agreed destinations.
Depending on the selected package, drinking water during game drives and airport transfers may also be included. Accommodation can be arranged in budget campsites, mid-range lodges, or luxury properties according to your preferences.
Services commonly excluded unless specifically stated include international flights, Tanzania visa fees, travel insurance, tips, personal purchases, alcoholic drinks, optional activities, and domestic flights. Your written quotation will identify the services included in your specific package.
How Much Does an All-Inclusive Tanzania Safari Cost?
The cost of a Tanzania safari depends on several factors, including the number of travelers, trip duration, accommodation category, travel season, and national parks included in the itinerary. A private safari for two travelers generally has a higher cost per person than a similar trip shared by a larger group because vehicle and guide expenses are divided among fewer guests.
Accommodation also makes a considerable difference. Budget camping packages normally cost less than mid-range lodge safaris, while luxury camps and lodges can increase the overall price. Longer itineraries involving Serengeti and Ngorongoro also include additional transport, accommodation, and conservation-related expenses.
For 2027, 2028, and 2029, exact prices should be confirmed through a personalized quotation. Park fees and accommodation rates may change before your travel dates, so publishing a fixed future price without confirmation could be misleading.
You can request an all-inclusive safari quotation by sharing your preferred travel dates, number of guests, accommodation category, and destinations.
Best Time to Book a Tanzania Safari
Tanzania offers wildlife viewing throughout the year, but the experience changes with the seasons. The drier months, generally from June to October, are popular because vegetation is often less dense and wildlife may gather near remaining water sources. Tarangire is particularly attractive during parts of the dry season when animals move toward the river and surrounding areas.
The months from January to March can also be rewarding, especially for travelers interested in the southern Serengeti ecosystem and the wildebeest calving season. However, the exact movement of migration herds depends on rainfall and grazing conditions, so visitors should not assume that the animals will remain in one location throughout the season.
The greener months can offer attractive scenery, birdwatching opportunities, and different photographic conditions. Your preferred travel period should therefore depend on the wildlife experience you want, rather than simply choosing the busiest safari season.
