After reviewing our Tanzania page, below,
please feel free to drop us an email at: mail@safarinzuri.com If you would let us
know your party's size; your goals and expectations for your safari; when you'd
like to visit Tanzania; and whether you'd prefer an exclusive tented safari
(somewhat more expensive) or some of Tanzania's most highly regarded small,
permanent camps (somewhat less expensive), we would be glad to provide you with
particular guide or camp materials that should best meet your requirements.

Overview
___________________________
To the right: the great wildebeest migration snakes its way through the
southern Serengeti each December through March
____________________________________
While in the southern
Serengeti in December-March, or in the western Serengeti in, say, July, the
wildebeest migration is the greatest show on earth: 1.1 million wildebeest,
250,000 zebra and 125,000 gazelle.
Please
note that all rates quoted herein are based on double accommodations. Single accommodations will normally
entail a single supplement.
Also, note
that prices are for ground arrangements only. Air transfers between camps or safari
locales are additional, and will be quoted on an individual safari basis.
Finally,
Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) is considering significant increases in its
entry and conservation fees. These
fees currently average about $50/person/night, and may well double at some
point in 2010. Rates quoted here do
not include these fees. Bear in
mind that these fees, which are also charged (in one way or the other) by most
popular safari destinations, pay
the cost of preserving some of the greatest natural shows on earth.
Safari Season, and
“Green Season” Discounts
A Serengeti safari aimed at
the migration can be taken in the southern Serengeti in December through March,
when the plains are green from the short rains and you’ll often pay lower
shoulder season rates. Or, you usually find the migration in the northern and
western Serengeti in June through November. In the south, the Selous' peak
season runs from mid-June through October, and its “green season,”
when rates are lower (except during the Christmas and New Year’s
holidays) runs mid-October through mid-February.

TWO, Nomad's exclusive Serengeti tented camp
Nomad maintains a luxury,
12-bed isolated tented camp that also moves with the migration--from the
southern Serengeti in December-March, near the Grumeti River in June, and then
on to the northern Serengeti for July-November. The advantages of Nomad's camp
include:
- Authentic tented camps in the style of the
traditional East African safaris of the old days. Large well-furnished
tents with ensuite bathrooms, hot showers, fine food and great service.
- Expert guides with safari-equipped private Land
Rovers. Each group will have its own private vehicle and guide,
regardless of group size.
- Complete flexibility to game-drive at your own
pace and, in some areas the freedom to walk, picnic and enjoy sundowners
and alfresco bush meals.

2010 peak season rates run $740/person/night, plus park fees. The peak season in the Serengeti covers
about 7 months, with “low season” occurring in January through
February and again November 1 through December 20. Low season rates are reduced to $600
person/night, plus park fees, and February is a good time to catch the
Wildebeest Migration in the southern Serengeti.

Since 1979, Kenyan Richard
Bonham, son of an African game warden and who once organized a cross-continent
water safari, has been leading old-fashioned porter safaris across this great
nowhere. Today, Sand Rivers Selous is a base camp for walking safaris on which
the traveler will encounter no one except his own accomplished crew and a
diversity of wildlife nearly as abundant as when Georges Selous was shot by
Germans here in World War I. For a
detailed description of this exquisite Old Africa experience, Click Here.
1020 rates for these four-night safaris are $2400/person (for the
safari—not per night) for
an exclusive walking safari for your group (minimum: 2 guests; maximum: 6
guests), plus reserve entry and conservation fees.
