Self-Drive Safaris

A self-drive safari in Tanzania offers an adventurous way to explore the country’s stunning national parks and wildlife reserves at your own pace. This type of safari allows travelers to experience the beauty of Tanzania’s landscapes, discover hidden gems, and engage with nature on a more personal level. However, it also requires careful planning and consideration of safety and logistics.

self-drive safaris are the ultimate type of safari to explore a country or national park. Taking a self-drive safari puts you behind the wheel of your own vehicle, dispensing with guide, driver, and crowds


Self-Drive Safaris

Whilst some people can be put off doing a self-drive safari because of worries about self-catering and accommodation, with a little planning ahead you can easily arrange a self-drive safari that involves either camping and BBQs each night or top-end luxury safari lodges

There are a number of positives to driving yourself on safari: You have the freedom and flexibility to choose where you go how to pace your day. This means that you don’t have to conform to a strict daily schedule – if you want to stop by a watering hole to have a picnic and watch game, you can. Self-drive safaris are much cheaper than a guided safari as you don’t have to layout for a guide or driver. The only cost is your park entrance – usually charged on a daily basis – and your accommodation. Self-drive safaris are easily combined with many other types of safari to allow you the best of both worlds and optimal game viewing. For example, you can do a few days of self drive and add a guided walking safari one morning and a balloon safari in the afternoon…you have the flexibility as you’re in charge of your itinerary.
