Game Drives

The Quintessential African Safari Experience

Overview

A game drive is the classic safari experience. You'll venture into Tanzania's national parks and reserves in a custom-designed 4x4 vehicle with a pop-up roof. This offers you 360-degree views of the landscape and wildlife, ensuring you don't miss a moment of the action. Guided by our expert driver-guides, who have intimate knowledge of animal behaviors and habitats, you'll search for the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—and witness the incredible diversity of life in the African bush.

Best Time to Go

Game drives are excellent year-round. The dry season (June to October) is best for spotting wildlife as they congregate around water sources. The wet season (November to May) offers lush landscapes, newborn animals, and birdwatching.
