Adventure Package
An adventure for life
This safari tour is perfect for those who don't want to sit too long in a jeep but want to get a bit more active. Here you will have unique adventures and experience things off the beaten track. You'll start by heading out to a coffee plantation to see the process from a bean to a steaming cup of coffee. Then you'll take a short hike to a waterfall.
This package also includes a full-day hike to the first base camp on the classic Mount Kilimanjaro. All national parks are a maximum of 2-3 hours away by car. The national parks complement each other well and you will have the chance to see "The Big 5" during these days.
Arusha National Park is relatively small in size and there are no big cats here, but you will get to go canoeing on a lake with hippos.
In Tarangire, you will start with a walking safari where, accompanied by an armed ranger, you will have the chance to see animals on foot on the savannah. You will also experience a classic jeep safari in both Tarangire and the magical Ngorongoro Crater. The crater is classified as the eighth wonder of the world, and you are guaranteed to see lots of animals there.
As you have a private safari jeep, you can travel at your own pace and stop along the way if there is something you want to see.
This package can be extended by one or more additional days.

Days included in the package
Day 1 - Departure from Sweden
Today your adventure begins as you fly from your chosen airport to Kilimanjaro or Arusha. We are happy to book your flight to Tanzania, but you can also choose to book it yourself.
Day 2 - Arrival in Moshi
Welcome to amazing Tanzania! Upon arrival, you will be met by one of our friendly guides waiting in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name. You will then be taken to your hotel to rest and recover from your journey. The area around Arusha is characterized by coffee and banana plantations and is located at a high altitude, which makes the climate pleasant all year round.
If you want to go directly to the national parks, this is possible at an additional cost.
- No meals included on arrival day
Day 3 - Kilimanjaro day trip
- Breakfast and lunch included
Day 4 - Arusha - Hike among zebras and buffalos
Arusha National Park is a fairly small park and is not nearly as well known or visited as the other parks. It is often called the green jewel because it is incredibly beautiful and surrounded by Mount Meru, Africa's fourth highest mountain. There are very few predators here, but you can see buffalo, giraffes, warthogs, and zebras, among other animals.
The highlight of this park is that you can go on an amazing walking safari in spectacular scenery and get really close to the animals. You are accompanied by a knowledgeable ranger.
- Breakfast and lunch included
Day 5 - Tarangire - Visit to the kingdom of elephants
In the morning, you will be picked up at your hotel and begin the journey to Tarangire. You will start with a walking safari of about 1.5 hours with an armed ranger. Walking on the savannah is a wonderful experience. Many customers consider this park their favorite because it is hilly and lush. Tarangire is known for its large elephant population, which you can often get very close to, but there are also a variety of other animals and all of the big cats. To make the most of the day, you will bring your own picnic, which you will eat at a suitable spot inside the reserve. At dusk, you will return to your accommodation for dinner.
- Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included
Day 6 - Ngorongoro - The eighth wonder of the world
Early in the morning, you will begin your descent into the Ngorongoro Crater. For many predators, this is the time of day when they are most active. The trip down to the crater itself is an exciting experience, with an elevation difference of almost 600 meters from the crater rim to the crater floor. The crater is called the Garden of Eden because there are between 25,000 and 30,000 wild animals in this area. With a little luck, you may see the endangered black rhino. Ngorongoro was once as high as Kilimanjaro, but three million years ago, the mountain collapsed after a volcanic eruption and formed this mighty crater.
After the safari, you will travel to Arusha and be dropped off at your hotel.
- Breakfast and lunch included
Day 7 - Return journey
Well in advance of your departure, you will be picked up at your hotel and driven to the airport. Depending on your flight time, you can spend your last day taking a final dip in the pool, enjoying a cup of coffee on one of the lovely rooftop terraces, or strolling around the shops to buy souvenirs and locally produced products.
- No accommodation
- Breakfast included
Day 8 - Return home
Today you will return home after your trip with many great memories.

Recommended accommodation
Good to know
Robust and reliable safari jeeps
We use four-wheel drive Toyota Land Cruisers for all our safari tours in Tanzania. To ensure high quality and reliability, each jeep undergoes servicing after every trip. The roads to the parks are often paved, but inside the parks the terrain is more uneven, which makes for a slightly bumpy ride. However, our vehicles are equipped with comfortable soft seats for the most pleasant experience possible.
All our jeeps offer:
- seating for up to 7 passengers, all with their own window seat
- retractable roof offering unobstructed views of the savannah
- power outlets for charging mobile phones, cameras, and other equipment
- cool box where you can store any beverage
We are happy to help you book your airline tickets.
We have access to a system where we can compare a large number of flights and come up with several options based on your preferences, such as departure date, airline, number of stopovers, or departure city. We can book flights from most countries, not just Sweden.
The journey from Sweden usually takes around 14 hours, depending on the route.
If we find an option that suits you, we can also reserve the tickets, which means that the price is locked in for a short period while you consider your options. A reservation is not binding and can be canceled at any time if you decide not to proceed.
You are also welcome to book your own flight if you prefer.
- For a pure safari trip in Tanzania, it is easiest to fly to and from Kilimanjaro (JRO).
- If you combine a safari with Zanzibar, we recommend a multi-city ticket: fly to Kilimanjaro and home from Zanzibar (or vice versa if you want to end with the safari).
During certain periods in high season, we also have pre-booked airports on selected dates, which usually makes the price a little cheaper.
We usually book domestic flights between the mainland and Zanzibar, but you can also choose to do this yourself.
Currency & payment in Tanzania
Tanzania primarily uses Tanzanian shillings (TZS), but USD is sometimes accepted. However, it is often more expensive to pay in USD.
- Withdrawing money
Tanzanian shillings cannot be exchanged in Sweden, so you will need to withdraw money locally. There are ATMs at the airport, in Arusha, and in Moshi. - Card payments
Most restaurants and hotels acceptcard payments, but there are still places where you can only pay in cash or where the card machine does not work. Therefore, it is important to always have cash as a backup. - Small bills
It is smart to have small bills for buying fruit, water, snacks, or souvenirs. Therefore, be sure to ask for small bills when you shop at the beginning of your trip. A good plan is to withdraw a small amount at the airport when you arrive, and then withdraw more as needed after the safari. - Haggle with consideration
Prices are often negotiable, but do so with respect. Avoid haggling just for the sake of it, as many sellers operate on very small margins.
Clothing tips for your safari in Tanzania
This may be good to keep in mind before going on a safari
- The roof of the safari jeep provides good sun protection, so full-coverage clothing is not necessary. Feel free to choose light, airy, and loose-fitting garments.
- Avoid bright colors, black, and dark blue, as these can attract insects.
- The Ngorongoro area is located at high altitude and can be quite cold, especially in the mornings and evenings. Therefore, bring a warm sweater or jacket.
- When visiting Moshi, Arusha, or other cities, it is advisable to dress respectfully.
- Bring shoes with thick soles that can handle uneven terrain and protect against sharp thorns.
Tanzania offers unique and fascinating wildlife experiences all year round
.webp){kind=small}
January - March
This is a fantastic time to travel. The lush, green landscapes create beautiful contrasts with the savannah, and the abundance of newborn animals attracts many predators. Temperatures are at their highest during these months. January and February are often dry, while the long rainy season usually begins at the end of March. If you travel in early March, you will usually experience the parks at their best, as it is beautiful, peaceful, and there are fewer tourists than during the high season.
April - May
This is the long rainy season, when it can rain for several days at a time. The parks are at their greenest and most lush, and the temperature is pleasant. The advantage of traveling now is that there are very few tourists. The disadvantage is that the roads can be difficult to navigate, and during heavy downpours, the car's roof and windows must be kept closed, which affects the experience. Many animals also seek shelter when it rains the most. Therefore, we do not recommend this period.
June - September
The long dry season is considered one of the best times for safaris. The vegetation is low, making it easier to spot animals, and many gather at waterholes. The weather is clear and dry, and this is the coolest period of the year. In Tarangire, this is a fantastic safari season as large numbers of animals make their way to the Tarangire River. During July and August, there are many visitors to the parks, so if possible, June or September is preferable.
October - December
Autumn is an excellent time to travel, with relatively few tourists and wonderful wildlife experiences. The migration returns south and the animals are often seen entering the Serengeti. There may be short rain showers, but they usually fall in the evening and disappear quickly, leaving a greener landscape and pleasant temperatures. The October break is a perfect week for a safari. December is also good, but Christmas and New Year's Eve are peak season with more tourists. If you can travel in early December or early January, that's even better.
