Our Tanzania safari was incredible from start to finish. The luxury accommodations exceeded expectations and the views were breathtaking every single day. Our guide Nixon’s knowledge and ability to spot wildlife were truly impressive — easily one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had.

“Referred by a friend in the USA, we booked 12 days on safari and in Zanzibar. Evance customized it beautifully, the accommodations were first class and our guide so professional. We’ll be back.”

Jimmy · Tanzania & Zanzibar · Verified on Trustpilot

“We contacted Jenny & Evance at NndeeAfrika, who were different from other tour companies. They were fast, patient, and modified our itinerary to meet our needs. The itinerary was perfectly laid out, and the team was highly professional and available.”

Luxury African Safari FAQs

For the Great Migration in East Africa (Kenya & Tanzania), June to October is ideal. For dry-season game viewing in Southern Africa (Botswana & South Africa), travel May to September.

Most private journeys begin at USD 12,000 per person. Final pricing depends on season, destination, camp selection, internal flights, party size and the level of private access requested.

We recommend booking 12 or more months ahead to secure the most exclusive lodges, private camps and peak-season dates.

Every journey is privately designed and built from the ground up around you — never a fixed group schedule. Private guides and vehicles are included where specified; at some Southern African camps, game drives may be shared unless a private vehicle is reserved.

NndeeAfrika is registered in California as a Seller of Travel (CST 2173450-50), so you plan in your own time zone, pay a US company under a written contract, and reach us on US hours from your first email to your flight home — while our co-founder’s Tanzanian roots and network on the ground shape every itinerary.

Yes. We pair every safari with beach extensions in Zanzibar, Seychelles, Mauritius and Mozambique for the perfect bush-and-beach escape.
