Thinking of spending your honeymoon against the backdrop of the Serengeti? Or just a getaway with the love of your life? Tanzania Safari packages for two can be the perfect choice.
Safaris for two in Tanzania are generally private, offering personalized, couple-friendly itineraries. Choosing the right option before booking can make a world of difference. With a private safari, you control your itinerary. However, a scheduled small group can help cut costs and add social elements to your travel experience.
At Proud African Safaris, we design luxury Tanzania safaris that are best suited to small tours for couples. We can arrange private safaris designed exclusively for you, or you can join a scheduled small-group departure with other travelers.
This guide explains both options so you can choose the best Tanzania safari for couples.
Your Two Options as a Couple
Before you book a safari tour in Tanzania, decide whether you want the vehicle and itinerary exclusively yours, or a great experience with other travelers.
Here’s what you can check out:
Private Safari for Just the Two of You
Safari in Tanzania largely involves discovering wildlife and capturing scenic views and landscapes in 4×4 Land Cruisers. On a private safari, this 4×4 Land Cruiser is yours alone, accompanied by your driver/tour guide.
At Proud African Safaris, we take you a step further with our Private Custom Safaris. We offer Unlimited Game Drives, without any mileage restrictions. So that you can enjoy exotic Tanzanian views without a clock ticking or a scheduled tour. Moreover, we take you to off-beaten tracks to avoid congestion during peak seasons, without compromising tour quality or safety.
Join a Scheduled Small-Group Departure
Scheduled small-group safari tours let you travel with a few other guests, typically two or four additional travelers, depending on the departure.
The obvious strength of this safari is that it saves on cost, as it costs less to travel in a group, where costs such as car hire and hiring a guide are split among the group. Thus, this safari becomes a viable alternative for couples who want a Tanzania safari trip but do not want to pay the full cost of a private safari.
However, the limitation is flexibility, since departure dates and the itinerary are fixed. Scheduled departures follow predetermined dates and itineraries, which means you have less freedom to change activities in your trip.
Cost Comparison for Two Travelers
The exact cost of a Tanzania Safari depends on factors like the accommodations you choose, the activities you take part in, the sites you visit, and the transportation you prefer in this African destination.
The following table can be used to plan your Tanzania trip:
| Option | Per Person/Per Day | Flexibility | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private safari for two | From $1,950/day | High | Couples wanting privacy, flexibility, and a personalized itinerary. |
| Joining small-group departure | From $980/day | Low | Budget-conscious couples comfortable traveling with other guests. |
Please note: When comparing quotes, consider more than the daily rate. Even a cheaper headline quote may include other factors in the total package. At the time of booking, our team will assist you; you should ask for a detailed price and experience breakdown.
What’s Included When You Book
Our Tanzania safari itineraries mostly focus on tours across Serengeti National Park, Tarangire National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater & Reserve, with a focus on the wildebeest migration.
A small group safari for 2 can include:
- Unlimited game drives in 4×4 Land Cruisers and no mileage restrictions.
- A professional safari guide
- Accommodation during the entire tour
- Twin/double room accommodation for the couple
- Meals depending on the chosen safari package
- Park charges and conservation fees
- Game drives as per the itinerary
- Transfers as per the itinerary
The fact that two persons are staying in one twin or double room does not necessarily mean that you will need to pay the single supplement since two persons are using the same room.
This may vary depending on your accommodation and package arrangement, so make sure you know what is included in your quotation before paying the deposit.
When choosing between different Tanzania safari packages, don’t consider only the price; compare the itineraries as well.
How to Book Your Small Group Safari
Once you have decided how you want to travel, what you want to experience, and where you want to go, the safari across Tanzania becomes easier.
The following guide gives a step-by-step idea of how to book a small group safari:
Step 1 — Choose Your Dates and Format
First, decide when you would like to go and whether you prefer a private safari or a scheduled small-group trip. For more flexibility, choose a private safari. If you want to keep costs down, check the scheduled departure for that time.
Step 2 — Tell Us Your Preferences
When you request your safari, share as much information as possible about what you want for your trip.
This helps us understand your budget estimates, desired travel dates, interest in wildlife, preferred parks, accommodation preferences, and any special occasion you’re celebrating. You can also communicate your preference for a less hectic program or your desire for maximum game drives.
This information makes it easier to design an itinerary that matches your preferences for a Tanzania safari for couples.
Step 3 — Confirm with a Deposit
Once the program and quotation are finalized, confirm your booking with a deposit.
Depending on your safari arrangements, the required deposit amount may change, so it’s best to confirm the amount. Once you pay the deposit, we’ll confirm your booking based on the agreed booking conditions. Remember to check the policies before paying.
Step 4 — Final Details Before Departure
The process doesn’t end after your safari booking is confirmed.
Prepare documents such as your passport, tickets, insurance, entry permits, and any other important documentation before traveling. You can review your final itinerary, accommodation, transportation, and any remaining payments.
Your safari operator can provide all of this, including the meeting point and other information you need for your Tanzania safari trip.
Which Option Is Right for You?
The choice largely depends on what you want from a Tanzania safari as a couple.
- Private Safari for two
A private safari for two is appropriate if you need privacy and a customized tour. This type of safari is ideal for occasions such as honeymoons and anniversary celebrations. In some cases, when you have specific destinations you want to visit, this option is a great fit.
- Scheduled Small Group Safari
A scheduled small group safari in Tanzania for two can be a good option for cost-sensitive travelers who don’t mind being part of a group. This lets travelers socialize while exploring Tanzania’s wildlife and natural scenery.
Neither format is automatically suitable for every couple, as each has unique dreams and desires. As your experienced Tanzania safari tour operator, we’ll ensure that whichever tour you book offers you the best trips, keeps you secure, and gives you the best time of your lives.
Pre-Arranged Small Group Safari in Tanzania for Two
Each safari season in Tanzania attracts particular attention, whether for migration and calving in the dry season or birding in the green season. Joining a pre-arranged safari is a great option for couples who’d like to:
1. Travel alone
2. Meet other travelers.
Pre-arranged safari itineraries help you spot exotic wildlife, see scenic sites, and experience the best of Tanzania without hassle. Moreover, a pre-arranged small group safari allows you to check the possible climate or weather patterns in that place, particularly festivals and likely peak or lea season that can occur at that time.
