To spice up your wildlife safari we also arrange affordable beach vacation extensions to the ‘spice islands’ of Zanzibar (the legendary semi-autonomous archipelago). This is the most magical beach destination in Africa! In addition to Zanzibar Island, we also plan beach vacations in the less visited Pemba Island, Mafia Island, for the best beach vacations, diving, deep sea fishing, or Whale Shark watching.
We offer both Budget Tanzania safaris as well as luxury safari tours in Tanzania and Luxury Zanzibar beach vacations.
We have our headquarters located in Arusha; the base town for tours and safaris in Northern Tanzania so there is no ‘middle-man’ between you and us your premier Tanzania safari company. We arrange the most intriguing and awe-inspiring trips to national parks in Northern Tanzania, Southern Tanzania safari packages as well as the Western Tanzania Safari Circuit where you can visit to track the Chimpanzees in their natural habitat.
In addition to Tanzania safaris, we also arrange Mt Kilimanjaro climbing tours through all routes, both as independent tours or as combined trips that can include safari tours in Tanzania national parks, and even together with Zanzibar Island for beach holidays. We can easily tailor-make a great combined tour for you that includes all those highlights of any trip to Tanzania.

Very friendly and knowlagebleVerified Perfect and memorable hunting trip to Kenya and Tanzania kenyaWe recently completed a 13-day tour of Kenya and Tanzania, which was planned at the last minute, and the result was the most relaxing, eye-opening and enjoyable trip we've ever had. From start to finish, Lucas from Safari Desire was patient, kind, flexible and helpful. As a somewhat discerning traveller - especially my 80-year-old father, who is curious but also needs comfort and security - we are meticulous in every detail. Lucas understood that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime hunting trip for my father, and he did everything he could to make everything perfect.We consulted several hunting travel companies before booking, but Lucas stood out. He worked closely with us to review and confirm each destination and each hotel and camp. We made several changes during the program and he never pressed us. When it came time to pay, we initially hesitated because it was our first time working with Safari Desire. But Lucas allayed our concerns by providing a booking ID for each booking and sharing the company's registration and licensing information. This transparency allows us to move forward with confidence.Our adventure began in Nairobi, where we arrived after midnight for a quiet night in a comfortable, modern hotel, where we were greeted by the hotel driver. The next morning, we met Moses, a tour guide on a tour of Kenya. From the moment he greeted us with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm, we knew we were in reliable hands.Our journey in Kenya includes:• Amboseli National Park (2 days): Spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro and large herds of elephants.• Lake Nakuru National Park: A short stop filled with vibrant birds.• Maasai Mara (2 days): We witnessed an unforgettable lion hunt - a raw moment of life and death in the wild.Moses is simply fantastic. He is professional, attentive and committed to our safety and comfort. He never eats a meal on duty, is on high alert and meticulously maintains his vehicle. Every day he gets up early to give us the best chance of spotting wildlife. His enthusiasm and care made our trip to Kenya truly unique.After seven memorable days, Moses drove us to the Kenya-Tanzania border, where we met Charles, our Tanzanian guide. We were immediately impressed by Charles' calm, trustworthy demeanour and his pride in the country's natural beauty and cultural harmony.We explored it with Charles:• Serengeti National Park (3 nights): Extensive and full of wildlife, foggy mornings and endless plains leave us holding our breath.• Ngorongoro Crater: A tranquil paradise that feels like a dream, where nature is perfectly balanced.• Lake Manyara National Park: Known for tree-climbing lions and abundant wildlife, from monkeys and giraffes to elephants and exotic birds.Charles also satisfied our interest in the local arts and culture by taking us shopping - both to the local handicrafts market and to the more upscale arts centres. Our last night was spent near Mount Kilimanjaro, where we spent six good days and persevered to say goodbye to Charles.Throughout the trip, what really moved us was the deep respect and love for nature. We were moved by the importance that both countries attach to protection. National parks are sacred spaces where ecosystems flourish and are protected. It is also encouraging to see everyone in the tourism industry acting so professionally. We later learned that many people have undergone rigorous training to ensure that they provide world-class service.The hotel and camp far exceeded our expectations: clean, well-equipped, delicious food, attentive service with mosquito nets on the bed. Surprisingly, we hardly encounter mosquitoes - even in the wild.One of our most cherished memories is of the drive-through itself - sliding across the golden grasslands at sunrise, the early morning breeze blowing across our faces, watching wildlife coexist peacefully and harmoniously. We also enjoyed the magical sunset, the red sun shining on our shoulders - a moment that made us reflect deeply on the beauty and fragility of life.Getting to Africa once seemed like a daunting task. But with the right guide, it became a journey of wonder, serenity and deep connection.We extend our deepest gratitude to Lucas, Moses and Charles for making this adventure so extraordinary. We don't hesitate to recommend Safari Desire - and wholeheartedly.Verified 13 Days Across Kenya & Tanzania: Flawless Planning and Unforgettable Moments We recently completed a 13-day journey through Kenya and Tanzania, planned at the very last minute, and it turned out to be the most relaxing, eye-opening, and heart-freeing trip we’ve ever taken.

Our guide Charles was there to pick us up from the airport and made us comfortable the entire trip. Food and drinks were well arranged as well as the hotel for the stay overnight. We visited the Tarangire park as well as the Ngorongo crater. Both parks were amazing and we were lucky enough to spot almost all animals including lions, giraffes, hippos and rhinos. Charles was amazing in teaching us about the animals, the parks and Tanzania in general besides being a great person to be around.
