Tanzania Safari
Traveling to Tanzania Safari takes you to the heart of the African wilderness. Picture a cheetah feeding her fuzzy cubs, a herd of elephants grazing with snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, and a thousand-strong herd of wildebeest roaming the African Savannah. While Tanzania safari has a most famous park is the Serengeti, you’ll also find superb smaller reserves like Tarangire, Nyerere National Park, and Lake Manyara. Within the immense volcanic caldera of the Ngorongoro Crater, a vibrant ecosystem thrives with predators and their prey.
In this land teeming with wildlife, where do you begin or end your journey? As Tanzania safari specialists, African Diurnal Safaris can help design your perfect holiday in Tanzania. From the best time to visit to the must-see attractions, we’ll guide you at every step and create an action-packed itinerary. African Diurnal Safaris will plan every early morning and evening game drive in open-sided vehicles with experienced local guides who ensure you see everything on your bucket list and more. Whether you’re tracking chimpanzees in the Mahale Mountains or witnessing the Great Migration, we’ve got you covered. After a day of safari adventures, relax with sundowners in comfortable camp chairs overlooking the escarpment of the Rift Valley.
Off Tanzania’s coast, the Zanzibar archipelago awaits, rich in nature and culture. Spend an afternoon exploring the World Heritage Site of Stone Town before heading back to the coral-filled waters of the Indian Ocean and its pristine beaches. Join the most discerning travelers who seek post-safari pampering in this idyllic setting.

Excellemg I had a wonderful 3.5 day experience. My guide, Lameck, picked me up promptly and was attentive and very knowledgeable. He tailored thr trip to my interests and gave me just the right about of info. We travelled from Mwanza to Arusha. The route and timings were well.chosen , and accomodation good. I was upgraded to the Hhanda Coffee lounge which was excellent. The vehicle was comfortable and well maintained (and clean at the start!!). We got very close to all the big cats and i saw plenty of all the other animals and many birds. I would really recommend this company ..my experience was very special!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A Perfect, Once in a Lifetime Experience My husband and I spent two weeks in Tanzania and Zanzibar. Since the first contact with Janeth from African Diurnal Safaris and during the whole trip, we have received good advice and clear explanations. They have always been present when we needed and all the steps of the trip have gone smoothly. In other words, we have felt accompanied and supported by African Diurnal Safaris along our trip and that clearly contributed to having an extraordinary experience. The safari was an everyday amazement with the richness of Tanzanians fauna and scenery. Our accommodation throughout the trip was top notch. Lameck our safari guide, was an extremely reliable, supportive, knowledgeable and trustful companion. He has been understanding and accommodating of our needs, adjusting our day by day itinerary as required and trying his best for us to get all the photography opportunities and animal sightings. Al at African Diurnal Safaris made our Tanzania safari memorable and we thank all for that. I highly recommend this company to anyone planning a Tanzania trip.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Excellent and Outstanding Trip Our 5 day safari with African Diurnal Safaris exceeded every expectation. The communication with Lameck was fast, clear, and professional from the very first message. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. Every detail was perfectly organized — hotels, meals, routes, game drives — everything was handled with care and precision. We saw the Big Five, stunning landscapes, and experienced Tanzania in the most authentic way. Truly great value for money and a company you can fully rely on. Highly recommend African Diurnal Safaris.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

*A wonderful 8- day safari with our guide Elisante" African Diurnal Safaris is exceeded our expectations in every way, the booking process was smooth, with the team consistently responsive, accommodating, and tailoring our trip the way we wanted it. From the moment we landed in Kilimanjaro airport, everything went according to our plans. Our guide Elisante was exceptional - friendly, punctual, patient, highly knowledgeable, and a true professional. He ensured our safari through Tarangire, northern Serengeti for the great migration, and Ngorongoro crater.Thanks to Elisante's expert guidance, we had the privilege of witnessing breathtaking wildlife including the great migration at the Mara river, as well as lions, cheetahs, leopard, rhinos, buffaloes , elephants, the fascinating African "ugly 5", countless other species roaming the plains and Highlands, along with a incredible variety of birds - the wonders were endless.We are deeply grateful to African Diurnal Safaris and special thanks to Lameck who suggested a wonderful itinerary for us, as well as our guide Elisante for crafting such unforgettable experience for our family. These cherished memories will last a lifetime.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Amazing Safari An amazing experience in Kenya on safari. African Diurnal were great from the beginning booking to the end of the trip. They offered fantastic payment and cancellation terms that really made us feel comfortable. They were very clear with their communications beforehand and had everything prepared for our arrival in Kenya. Their driver (Robert) was truly fantastic, with local knowledge and a calmness that put us at ease straight away. His wildlife knowledge enabled us to have really close encounters with all of the big five! We also witnessed a cheetah and lion double kill on our last game drive! Amazing! Would highly recommend this company for an East African safari experience!Posted on Google![]()

Very knowledgeable about wildlife and a perfect and safe driver who pays respect to wildlife 🐆 Lameck is the owner of this wonderful safari agency. He is born and raised a little outside Serengeti and knows tremendous much about the wildlife in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. He speaks perfectly English and during our shared dinner, we have talked about nature, politics, culture, religion, history - we have learned so much! Very importantly he is an experienced and safe driver who also takes care of the animals e.g. waiting for animals to cross roads in contrast to many other drivers we saw on our way. We experienced a flat tire on night - but no problem! Lameck could fix it right away 🙌 We are so happy, that we consider to hire the company next year for a safari in Uganda and/or Kenya 🦒Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
