A luxury safari should feel like East Africa, not a package
Williamson Adventures designs private luxury Tanzania safaris and luxury Kenya safaris from our office in Arusha. Every journey is planned around you, from the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater to the Maasai Mara, with hand-picked camps, your own guide and vehicle, and a Tanzanian team on the ground from arrival to departure.
From the snow-capped summit of Kilimanjaro to the spice-scented shores of Zanzibar — add a mountain adventure or island escape to your luxury Tanzania safari.

"Our safari was magical — 6 days through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Ian's love for wildlife was infectious and we saw the Big Five. Williamson were extremely responsive from the first enquiry, and every lodge was stunning."

Everything you need to know before travelling — from the best time to visit and what to pack, to visas, vehicles and tipping.
A private vehicle and guide for your group only, small camps in the best wildlife areas, flexible days built around your interests, and a local team who plan every detail. See our Tanzania safari prices.
June to October is the dry season, with the easiest game viewing and Mara River crossings from July to October. January to March brings the calving season in Ndutu, and November–December offers lower prices with fewer crowds.
Pack lightweight, neutral-coloured clothing (khaki, beige, olive), a warm layer for early mornings and evenings, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars and a camera. Soft-sided duffel bags are recommended, especially if your itinerary includes light aircraft flights.
Entry and health requirements vary by destination and nationality. We recommend checking the latest official guidance before travel and consulting your doctor about recommended vaccinations, yellow fever certification and malaria precautions.
Yes. We regularly host families and tailor the pace, accommodation and activities to suit children of different ages. Private vehicles mean your schedule is flexible, and many of the camps we use offer family tents and child-friendly activities.
We use custom 4×4 Toyota Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs for game viewing, large windows, a fridge for cold drinks, charging sockets and radio communication. Every guest is guaranteed a window seat, and private safaris mean the vehicle is exclusively yours.
Our prices typically include private transport with a professional guide, accommodation as listed, meals on safari, park and conservation fees, scheduled activities, drinking water and airport transfers. International flights, visas, travel insurance, tips and personal expenses are excluded unless stated otherwise. See what a Tanzania safari costs.
Tipping is at your discretion, but as a guideline we suggest USD 15–25 per guest per day for your safari guide and USD 5–10 per guest per day for camp staff, usually given at the end of your stay.
Absolutely. Every safari we run is private and tailor-made. We can adjust the number of days, upgrade or change accommodation, add a beach extension in Zanzibar, or combine parks to match your travel dates, budget and interests — just ask our team.
