From elephant encounters in Tarangire to game drives across the Serengeti and wildlife viewing inside Ngorongoro Crater, your adventure begins with an itinerary built around your interests.

At Kilipath African Safaris, we help you choose a route, accommodation and safari style that fit your budget. Whether you are travelling as a couple, a family, with friends or on your own, our team can help turn your ideas into a practical safari plan.

Why Start Your Tanzania Safari in Arusha?

Arusha offers a useful starting point for journeys to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Staying here before departure gives you time to rest, meet our team and prepare for the journey ahead.

We can arrange airport transfers and help coordinate your safari with your arrival plans. Your collection time depends on the first destination, so sharing your flight details early helps us organize a smooth start.

Choose Your Safari Experience

Shared group safaris: Join other travellers and share vehicle costs on a scheduled route. Our shared safari vehicles carry a maximum of seven guests, with guaranteed window seats. This option suits travellers who enjoy meeting others and are comfortable following a fixed itinerary.

Private safaris: Travel with an exclusive vehicle and guide. A private safari offers greater flexibility over your route, daily pace and wildlife interests, making it a good choice for families, photographers and couples.

Camping and lodge safaris: Choose camping for a closer connection with the outdoors, or select lodges and tented camps for additional comfort. We explain the accommodation options clearly so you can choose with confidence.

Destinations to Include

Tarangire brings together baobab landscapes and opportunities to observe elephants alongside other wildlife. It can be included at the beginning or end of a longer northern circuit itinerary.

Serengeti offers open plains and rewarding wildlife viewing. Allowing enough time here helps balance the journey with time exploring the park. Tell us if you have a particular wildlife interest so we can discuss a suitable route.

Ngorongoro Crater adds a distinctive landscape and varied wildlife habitats to your journey. Lake Manyara can also be considered, depending on your available time and preferences. Wildlife sightings vary, and specific animals cannot be guaranteed.
