Very experienced, perfect planning and execution of an unforgettable Safari. Safari ASAP put together an amazing Safari, with Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national parks, Arusha, Moshi, great lodges, phantastic safari vehicles, perfectly equipped , and last but not least very experienced, fast but careful drivers who were trained rangers at the same time, and great story tellers! Their radio contact made sure that we didn’t miss crucial events, like the Mara river crossing of the wildebeests during their great migration, or any top spot for the observation of any wild animals, incl. birds, hippos, crocs, lions, etc. etc. We would use their experienced, efficient and friendly services at any time.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An unforgettable experience > This was truly a cherished experience and one I will remember forever. The sheer number of animals we saw was fantastic, but it was the close encounters that made the safari especially unforgettable—giraffes, elephants and impalas in their natural habitat were simply breathtaking. Witnessing the wildebeests make their crossing was a highlight; only when you see it firsthand do you gain a real respect for the scale, difficulty and wonder of animal migration. > The beauty of nature throughout the trip was humbling and certainly not something to be taken for granted. We were incredibly grateful for our guide, Vincent, whose knowledge, patience and enthusiasm made every sighting more meaningful. His explanations were clear and engaging, and his book on the animals of the safari was extremely useful. > Although we were excited to spot the animals, the guides matched our enthusiasm every step of the way. We loved the exhilarating rush to the different sites, the shared anticipation, and the genuine friendships we formed with the local guides. A heartfelt thank you to Thomas, Vincent and the entire team for such an exceptional adventure. We will cherish these memories forever. SourcesPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

An unforgettable Tanzania safari! 🦁🐘🌍 We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience with Safari ASAP. From the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater to Tarangire, every day was filled with incredible wildlife — we saw the Big Five, flamingos, magnificent baobab trees and so much more. But the absolute highlight was witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration crossing the Mara River. Our guides found us a fantastic viewing spot, and when the herd came thundering across, we could actually feel the ground shake as thousands of wildebeest galloped right past us! Truly an unforgettable experience. (Check out the photos!) A huge thank you to Thomas and his team. Our guides were knowledgeable, experienced and, most importantly, genuinely passionate about sharing their country and its wildlife with us. An awesome adventure from start to finish. Asante Sana, Safari ASAP! ❤️Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Professional, fun, safe and exciting tour, we would do it again! We didn't know anything about Safari ASAP when we booked the tour but we wanted to give it a try because they had interesting tour offers. Thomas was always very responsive and courteous whenever we had a question regarding the adjudtments for our tour. Our five tour days were very different and each day had it's own high lights. We did one day of local coffee experience and cooking, two days of Safari, one day of community work in Mto wa Mbu and one day of visiting some tribes. A big advantage is for sure the company's structure. You can really feel with Safari ASAP that they are working with their partners close and in detail. For different subjects and activities, different guides were organised. In this way, you have experts knowing what they are talking about. A special thanks to all the guides included in our trip, especially to our driver Hussein who is as professional, kind and knowledgeable about the wild life as you can wish for. We are 100% happy with the outcome and are glad to have supported a small scale company (it felt more sustainable than with one of the big players out there which try to get customers with cheap prices). It was a lot of fun, worth every memory! Asante sana.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

OUR SAMPLE SAFARI ITINERARIES
BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO EAST AFRICA
The best time for an African safari is when wildlife is abundant and easy to spot. The ideal season depends on the country you plan to visit, but with East Africa offering different climates, you can enjoy an incredible safari almost any time of the year by choosing the right destination.
To witness the Great Migration, visit Tanzania’s Northern Circuit, especially the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Late December to early March is one of the best times to see wildebeest and zebra calving, attracting large numbers of predators and creating exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities. From June to October, Tanzania’s dry season offers excellent game viewing across the country, as animals gather around water sources. It’s also a great time to explore the Southern Parks or combine your safari with Kenya’s Maasai Mara to follow the Great Migration and river crossing.
Every year, around 1.5 million wildebeest, 300,000 zebras, and thousands of antelope migrate in a spectacular circular journey between Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara in search of fresh grazing and water. Covering nearly 1,800 miles, the migration is one of nature’s greatest spectacles, with dramatic river crossings at the Grumeti and Mara Rivers from July to September providing unforgettable wildlife encounters.
SERENGETI MIGRATION SAMPLE ITINERARIES
Follow the Serengeti Migration in December-March
From February to April, the Great Migration settles in the southern plains of the Serengeti National Park, particularly around Ndutu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Follow the Serengeti Migration in May-June
From May to June, the Great Migration begins moving north and west through the central and western corridors of the Serengeti National Park. As the rains come to an end, the herds gather in large numbers and start their journey toward the Grumeti River.
Follow the Wildebeest Migration in July-September
From July to September, the Great Wildebeest Migration reaches the northern part of the Serengeti National Park, moving toward and across the famous Mara River into the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
Follow the Wildebeest Migration in October-November
In October–November, the Great Wildebeest Migration begins its journey back south as the short rains start in the region. The herds gradually leave the northern plains of the Masai Mara National Reserve and move into the northern and central areas of the Serengeti National Park.
SAFARI ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation in Tanzania ranges from simple budget camping to luxury lodges and exclusive mobile camps. For travellers on a tighter budget, we offer basic mobile camping safaris, while mid-range lodges and semi-luxury mobile camps provide added comfort and style for a more elevated safari experience.
All camping safaris include three meals a day, plus snacks and hot beverages, all prepared by a professional camp cook. More exclusive options include treetop lodges, permanent tented camps, and luxury mobile camps, offering a personalised and intimate safari experience. Along the coast and on Zanzibar, accommodation ranges from simple beach hotels to luxury resorts and private villas. Before and after your safari, stays can be arranged in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, or Zanzibar, with a variety of city hotels and charming lodges available near the main centres.

WHAT TO BRING/WEAR ON AN AFRICAN SAFARI
Packing for an African safari is different from most trips. Dusty roads mean you’ll get dirtier than expected, while early morning game drives can be surprisingly chilly, so pack layers. If you’re flying between camps, baggage is usually limited to 10–15 kg (20–33 lbs), making a small soft duffel bag the best choice.
If you’re staying in a city before or after your safari, you can often leave larger luggage at your hotel or our office. Essentials include binoculars, a hat, sunglasses, and a camera with spare batteries. Many lodges offer laundry services, and clothes dry quickly in the African sun, so you can pack light for a comfortable 7–10 day safari.
SUSTAINABLE ADVENTURES
Variety is the spice of life, and no two safaris are ever the same at Safari ASAP. We don’t believe in “one size fits all” travel, instead, we design personalised safari experiences tailored to families, groups, photographers, birders, and every kind of traveller. We also create bespoke itineraries for those seeking something truly unique.

SUSTAINABLE SAFARI TOURS
THE CLASSIC SAFARI IN TANZANIA NCLUDES VISITS TO:
Arusha National Park, near Kilimanjaro International Airport, offers savannah wildlife and rare black-and-white Colobus monkeys. Tarangire National Park is famous for its stunning baobab landscapes and large elephant herds. Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Africa’s top wildlife sanctuaries and a stronghold for the rare black rhinoceros. The vast Serengeti National Park spans over 5,000 square miles and hosts the Great Migration of over 1.5 million wildebeest and 250,000 zebra. Lake Manyara National Park is a compact, scenic park known for its rich wildlife and tree-climbing lions.
Hot Air Ballooning in Serengeti
A hot-air balloon ride over the Serengeti is an incredible and unforgettable experience. Launch points vary within the park, depending on where the wildlife migration is expected to be.
A balloon safari over the Serengeti plains in Tanzania offers a truly magnificent perspective of the landscape. Since visitors typically spend many hours on game drives in the Serengeti, a balloon flight provides a refreshing change of pace and a completely different way to experience the wilderness.
As the Serengeti is a national park, walking safaris and off-road driving are strictly prohibited. This means that activity options are more limited compared to private game reserves, making the balloon safari one of the most unique highlights of the visit.
There are several balloon safari operators in the Serengeti, and flights depart from different locations within the park, often depending on the movement of the Great Migration. A Serengeti balloon safari must be booked in advance or at least one day prior. Payment is usually possible by card at lodges or at the Serengeti information centers while you are in the park.
SAFARI ASAP IS A BEST CHOICE FOR YOUR AFRICAN SAFARI
Tanzania is a vibrant and breathtaking destination, where stunning landscapes, rich wildlife, and the warmth of its people create unforgettable memories. From thrilling safaris and exceptional birding to romantic escapes, family adventures, Kilimanjaro trekking, and luxury beach stays, we craft tailor-made experiences for every kind of traveller.
