Unhurried wildlife encounters. Your own guide. A private journey shaped entirely around you. Explore our collection, then let our team help shape the details.
We believe the best safaris feel personal. A guide who knows when to pause. A route that follows your curiosity. The freedom to take it all in.
From our home in Dar es Salaam, we create private journeys through the Tanzania we know and love — from the quiet southern parks to the shores of Zanzibar.
Meet the people behind the journeyBased in Dar es Salaam, our team helps connect your plans with the places and experiences in our Tanzania collection.
Your vehicle, your guide and your own travel party, with room to discuss the pace and details that matter to you.
One team to discuss the route, accommodation and practical details, from your first enquiry to your final arrangements.
A few of our favourite ways into the wild. Compare the routes, time in the parks and experiences included, then explore the details of the journey that speaks to you. Each itinerary can be the starting point for a private safari shaped around your plans.
3 daysFrom US$798A private first taste of Nyerere — game drives over open floodplain, an afternoon on the Rufiji by boat with a spot of fishing, and a stop at a Maasai village on the way back. Explore the day-by-day plan below, then speak with our team about your dates, group and preferred accommodation.
1 dayFrom US$352Catch the standard-gauge railway out of Dar es Salaam and you’ll be on a private game drive inside Mikumi National Park by mid-morning — a complete big-game day out, with no overnight stay required. Review the route and inclusions below to see how this short escape fits into your time in Tanzania.
2 daysCombine a Mikumi game drive with a hike up into the Uluguru Mountains near Morogoro — savannah wildlife one day, cool highland forest the next, all in a single trip. Read through the two-day programme and tell us how you like to travel, so we can discuss the details of your private escape.
Follow the river, the open plains or the pull of the ocean. Discover what gives each destination its character and the journeys that take you there, from Tanzania’s southern parks to the islands of Zanzibar.
Tanzania’s biggest park — river boat trips, guided walks and big cats along the Rufiji. Pair time in the vehicle with a different view from the river, and let us shape the visit around the experiences that interest you most.
The nearest big-game reserve to Dar es Salaam — reachable by road or the new SGR railway. Choose a focused day trip or a longer stay, with a private guide helping you make the most of your time in the park.
Tanzania’s most untamed frontier — sizeable elephant herds and uncommon predator encounters. It is a rewarding choice for travellers who want a different side of the southern circuit, with room to take in the landscape at an unhurried pace.
Drift along the Rufiji. Follow a trail through the bush. Watch the landscape unfold from a train window. Each perspective brings something different to the journey. Tell us which experiences interest you and we will help connect them with the places you would love to visit.
Explore our experiencesYour safari does not need to begin in the same place as someone else’s. Choose an island, city or personal idea as your starting point, then let us help bring the route together.
Begin on the islands and continue to the southern parks. Tell us your arrival plans so we can discuss how a safari fits around your beach stay.
02Start with wildlife and finish with a gentler island rhythm. We will help you balance time in the parks with the coastal stay you have in mind.
03Make Dar es Salaam the beginning of your journey. Share your hotel or arrival details and we will discuss a suitable route into the southern parks.
04Bring us your ideas, whether they are a complete wish list or just one place you dream of seeing. We will work through the itinerary and practical choices with you.
A journey is remembered through its moments: the guide beside you, the wildlife you watch and the care behind the arrangements. Here are a few guest stories from the Humbaro collection.
“Everything ran smoothly, and our driver-guide clearly knew the bush inside out. We saw far more wildlife than we’d imagined possible in just three days.”
“The SGR train trip out to Mikumi was the most effortless big-game outing I’ve ever had. Humbaro had every detail sorted before our plane even touched down.”
“A private vehicle, no rushing around, and a village visit that felt authentic instead of staged. That was exactly what we’d hoped for.”
“We added on the Ruaha extension with barely two days’ notice, yet it still felt custom-built. They stayed reachable on WhatsApp throughout the whole trip.”
“We wrapped up our safari with a stretch on Zanzibar, and the handover was effortless — the same crew looked after us from the bush all the way to the beach.”
