Ready-made safari & Zanzibar packages

All itineraries

Five real proposals we've quoted travellers flying in from Zanzibar — the exact routes, lodges and inclusions, priced per person. Every one is still a starting point we'll adjust to you.

How it works

From a rough idea to a real trip

01
Tell us your dream trip

Rough dates, group size and the kind of trip you're after — safari, Kilimanjaro, the coast, or all three.

02
We build a real itinerary

A specialist in our Arusha office writes back within 24 hours with routes, lodges and prices — not a brochure.

03
Fine-tune everything

Change the pace, the lodges, the length — as many times as you need, at no cost, before you commit to anything.

04
Travel with confidence

A deposit confirms the trip. From there, our own guides and vehicles carry it through, door to door.

Your Tanzania holiday starts here

A Tanzania vacation is the ultimate once-in-a-lifetime holiday. Watch the Great Migration cross the Serengeti plains, track elephant herds through Tarangire and tree-climbing lions at Lake Manyara, or stand on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Climb Mount Kilimanjaro, or do nothing at all on the white sand of Zanzibar. We design every one of these Tanzania safaris from scratch, fully tailor-made, at the pace you actually want to travel.

Wakali Safaris is a locally owned tour operator based in Arusha, the gateway to East Africa's most iconic safari destinations. Our own guides, our own vehicles and our own office, which is how we hold the price and the quality at the same time, and why someone answers when you call.

Our Tanzania safari exceeded every expectation, and a huge part of that came down to our guides, Johny Agre and Eric. From the first day, they showed genuine care for our family, especially that one of us had a disability. They made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, and treated us less like clients and more like people they truly wanted to take care of. Their knowledge of the wildlife and terrain was outstanding — they spotted animals and showed great skill and patience reaching them, explained behavior and ecology with real depth, and answered every question with patience and enthusiasm. Professionalism was evident in every detail: punctual, well organized, and always thinking a step ahead. Johny Agre and Eric turned a great trip into an unforgettable one — we started out as a group and guides and ended up as friends.

We were a family of 15 and spent six incredible days traveling from Arusha to the northern Serengeti. Wakali assigned us three jeeps with three amazing drivers: Eric, Johnny, and Agrie. The trip was absolutely excellent, with countless wildlife sightings and unforgettable, dramatic scenes of nature. Eric, Johnny, and Agrie were incredibly knowledgeable about the routes, the animals, and the best places to find wildlife. They were patient, attentive, and always made sure everything was well organized. A special thank you to Adi and Jonathan for putting everything together so professionally and making this family trip such a memorable experience. We highly recommend Wakali for an unforgettable safari experience!

We had an absolutely incredible safari with Wakali Safari! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations. Our guide and driver, Agrey, was outstanding — extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife. He answered every question with detailed explanations, and took wonderful care of our family, especially our kids. Thanks to his incredible tracking skills, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, along with countless other amazing animals. This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we couldn't have asked for a better safari experience.

From our very first conversation to our farewell after 10 days, we felt truly cared for. Every part of the trip was thoughtfully tailored to our interests, creating the perfect balance between breathtaking wildlife, stunning landscapes, and authentic cultural experiences. Adi and Jonathan are amazing people whose love for Tanzania, its nature, and its people is evident in everything they do. Our guide, Agre, was outstanding — knowledgeable, professional, patient, and always enthusiastic. We also traveled on a kosher trip, and it was impressive to see how flawlessly all the complex logistics were managed. A special recommendation: don't miss the cultural experiences — the visit to the Maasai village, the bike tour, and the visit to the local farm added a unique dimension to the trip.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience — if I ever do it again, it will only be with Wakali. The tour was perfect. Johnny, the guide, had an incredible amount of knowledge and explained everything in a pleasant and engaging way. He was very attentive to our needs, and thanks to his knowledge, we saw all the animals that were there to see. Excellent hotels, a comfortable jeep, and great food. I highly recommend it without hesitation.

We went on a 5-day safari trip in Tanzania guided by Johnny. Johnny is a guide with a captivating personality — humble, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. At every single moment, he made sure we were comfortable, well-fed, engaged, and having a great time. Most importantly, he expertly maneuvered the jeep so we could get the closest possible view of all the safari wildlife, all while showing the utmost respect for the animal kingdom. I highly recommend anyone planning a trip like this to request Johnny as their guide!

Four absolutely incredible days! An organization that is top-notch, an exceptional guide, always smiling, attentive, and passionate. Thanks to him, we experienced an unforgettable adventure and had the chance to observe an impressive number of animals in incredible conditions. He was able to adapt to our daughter's pace, always with a smile — she got to see 'the Lion King' for real, up close. I recommend this company with my eyes closed, and especially our guide, Joshua.
