With so many remarkable safari destinations in Africa, choosing the perfect one often comes down to your dream experiences. If witnessing the Big 5 is at the top of your bucket list, Tanzania is a destination like no other. While countries like Kenya and South Africa offer fantastic wildlife encounters, Tanzania is unmatched in its diversity of safari landscapes, wildlife, and cultural immersion. Whether you're embarking on an intimate safari, a wildlife photography expedition, or a family adventure, I artist Adventure delivers unforgettable Tanzania-focused itineraries that bring you closer to nature in a personalized, eco-conscious way. The best time for a safari in Tanzania depends on your preferences. While the Green Season offers lush landscapes, sensational birding, and a quieter experience, the dry months (from May to November) offer perfect conditions for animal sightings, though they tend to attract more visitors. Regardless of the season, I artist Adventure's knowledgeable, local guides ensure your experience is both enriching and unique, showcasing the very best Tanzania has to offer. Here are our top safari recommendations for 2025, customized for an authentic and personalized experience with I artist Adventure:
