Overview
Experience Comfort Safari in Tanzania
The Comfort Safari is our most-booked itinerary. You'll sleep in full-service lodges and permanent tented camps — restaurants, lounges, hot showers, and often a pool overlooking the plains — while your days are spent among monkeys in the forest, lions in the trees of Lake Manyara, elephants weaving through the acacia of Tarangire, and inside the great collapsed volcano of Ngorongoro.

Questions
Frequently asked
What are the lodges like?
Two- to three-star full-service lodges — restaurants, lounges, hot showers, some with pools overlooking the plains. Comfortable, characterful, and Tanzanian-run.
Can we combine this with Zanzibar?
Yes — a 3- or 4-night Zanzibar beach extension is our most popular add-on. We handle flights and transfers.
How much time is spent in the vehicle?
Transfers are 3–5 hours between parks; once in a park, game drives are broken up with picnic lunches in the bush.
