Tanzania Safari Packages from Australia Overview
Our Tanzania Safari Packages from Australia are designed for travellers who want a smooth, well-planned and unforgettable African safari. Tanzania is home to some of the best wildlife destinations in the world, including Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park and Nyerere National Park.
These safari packages are ideal for Australian couples, families, honeymooners, solo travellers, senior travellers, photographers and small groups. Each package can include airport transfers, accommodation, park fees, meals, private 4×4 safari vehicle, professional safari guide and optional beach extensions to Zanzibar.
Because flights from Australia to Tanzania are long-haul, most travellers prefer safari holidays of 8 to 14 days. This allows enough time to enjoy the best national parks without rushing. Many visitors also add 3 to 5 nights in Zanzibar after safari to relax before flying home.
Why Choose Tanzania Safari Packages from Australia?
Australian travellers choose Tanzania because it offers a classic African safari experience with excellent wildlife viewing all year round. The country is famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration, Big Five animals, beautiful lodges, friendly guides and dramatic landscapes.

Best Time for Tanzania Safari Packages from Australia 2026, 2027 & 2028
The best time to book Tanzania Safari Packages from Australia depends on what you want to see. Tanzania is a year-round safari destination, but each season offers a different wildlife experience.
January to March – Calving Season
This is one of the best times to visit Southern Serengeti and Ndutu. Thousands of wildebeest calves are born during this period, attracting lions, cheetahs and hyenas. It is a fantastic season for photography and predator action.
June to October – Dry Season Safari
This is the most popular safari season. Wildlife is easier to spot because animals gather near water sources. July to October is also the best period for travellers who want to see the dramatic Mara River crossings in Northern Serengeti.
November to December – Short Rains and Green Season
The landscapes become fresh and green, birdlife is excellent and tourist numbers are lower. This is a good time for travellers looking for better value and beautiful scenery.
April to May – Low Season
April and May are usually quieter months with lower accommodation rates. Some roads may be wet, but this season can be rewarding for travellers who prefer fewer crowds and lush landscapes.
