Plan Your
Tanzania Safari
Clear answers for first-time travellers — how a safari works, what it costs, when to go, and how to get to Serengeti and the Northern Circuit.
If this is your first Africa trip, you usually need four answers before anything else: how a safari works, what it costs, when to go, and how you get there.
Januz Safaris specialises in Serengeti — and we also build classic Northern Circuit trips with Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara so your journey feels complete.
Use the guides below, then request a quote with your dates and group size. We reply with a clear itinerary — not a hard sell.
Fast path: Read How a Safari Works → check Safari Cost → pick a month → tell us your dates.
Will someone take care of everything?
Yes — guide, vehicle, park fees, and camps are arranged. You focus on the wildlife.
Is Serengeti the only option?
It is our specialty, not our limit. Most guests combine Serengeti with Ngorongoro and often Tarangire.
How long should the trip be?
7–10 days is the sweet spot for a first Northern Circuit safari with proper Serengeti nights.
When should I book?
Peak migration months sell out early. Even green season benefits from 3–6 months’ notice for good camps.
5–6 days
Ngorongoro + Central Serengeti — a strong first taste.
7–9 days
Add Tarangire or Manyara and more Serengeti nights.
8–10 days
Zone-matched Serengeti time for calving or river crossings.
