What people love about touring Tanzania solo
- Simba Classic Adventure Safari **Sustainable Approach to Travel
Mine brødre og jeg gik på en velorganiseret tur til Tarangire og Serengeti. Vi var heldige at se den store gnumigration i Serengeti - Det er det smukkeste, jeg nogensinde har set. Vi så også andre dyr, men den store migration var speciel. Alle indkvartering var store, og vi havde en fantastisk tid
- 5-Days Tanzania Luxury Safari & Experience Materuni waterfall
An amazing 5 day private safari that was organized and hosted by Zara Adventure Tanzania. This company is very professional and experienced in organizing safaris that they have everything in place, starting with a good pool of professional safari guides, great vehicles, staff to plan and organize the logistics and even operate very nice lodges that we stayed in. We saw all the big 5 and many more animals, and also enjoyed the great outdoors plus an infusion of local culture visiting the Hadzabe bushmen. We really enjoyed the trip and will live to remember it for a long time to come.
- 11 Days Tanzania Wildlife Cultural Safari*
We had such an amazing time in Tanzania with Zara Tours that we would love to do it again. The entire trip was well organized and it exceeded all our expectations. Frazier was our guide/driver, from the moment he picked us at the airport I somehow knew that my family was in safe hands. We had his whole attention and he made sure that we saw all the animals in our wish list plus much more. His knowledge of the animals, their habits and the parks was immense and he readily shared it. I could not detach Stefan my son from his side. Frazier was in regular contact with other guides to get us to where the action was, then position us in the best way to view the wildlife encounters. We also visited the Hadzabe people which is a must do. Its a bit pricey but very interesting. Olduvai gorge was another interesting place that Frazier organized for us. We enjoyed a really interesting and well organized trip
What our customers ask about Tanzania Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the typical group size for Tanzania tours suitable for solo travelers?
Tanzania tours keep groups small and manageable usually between 6 to 12 people. The Northern Circuit safari tours maintain a strict limit of 6 travelers per vehicle which gives everyone a clear view of wildlife. For those interested in climbing Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route groups usually include 8 to 10 climbers plus guides and porters. This size makes it easy to get to know your fellow travelers.
How experienced are the guides with solo travelers?
Tour guides in Tanzania come with extensive training in managing group dynamics and working with solo travelers. They're fluent in several languages including English German French and Spanish. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our guide Maxwell turned our safari into an exciting odyssey through Tarangire Serengeti parks and Ngorongoro Crater. He was knowledgeable about all the animals and helped us communicate with the Maasai people."
What are the typical costs of single supplements on Tanzania safari tours?
Single room charges in Tanzania cost between 200 to 400 USD varying by accommodation quality. Some places like Serena Safari Lodge and Kibo Palace Hotel have rooms designed for solo guests. Several operators including Almighty Kilimanjaro don't charge extra for single tents. As one traveler noted on TourRadar: "I had my own spacious tent throughout the trek with no additional charges."
How are meal arrangements handled for solo travelers?
Group dining is standard practice in Tanzania creating natural opportunities to meet other travelers. At Millennium Camp on Kilimanjaro everyone eats together in a shared tent while places like Lake Burunge Tented Lodge set up group dining experiences. The kitchens adapt well to different dietary needs. One TourRadar review noted "the cook prepared excellent vegetarian options throughout the trek."
Which areas of Tanzania are most welcoming for solo travelers?
Tanzania's Northern Circuit especially around Arusha and Moshi offers a welcoming environment for solo travelers. Places like Serengeti Wild Camps and Highview Hotel in Karatu feature social spaces where travelers naturally gather. A TourRadar guest noted: "The staff at the camps/lodges was exceptional. They treated us like royalty attending to our every need." The village of Mto wa Mbu gives visitors chances to connect with locals through activities like banana beer tasting and cooking classes.
What kind of accommodations can solo travelers expect on Tanzania tours?
The best times to visit are June through October and December through March. During these months the weather suits outdoor activities and wildlife viewing is at its peak in places like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. These busy seasons bring more travelers making social connections easier. A TourRadar visitor who went in July shared: "The weather was perfect while we were there and we saw all the Big 5 plus incredible migration scenes."
