What Sets Us Apart
Where Will Your Private Luxury Safari Take You?
Tanzania is home to some of Africa’s most celebrated wilderness areas. A private luxury safari with Climb and Sum It Africa can take you to any combination of the following:
Serengeti National Park Tanzania’s crown jewel. Over 14,000 km² of open savanna where the Big Five roam freely and the Great Wildebeest Migration — the largest mammal movement on earth — unfolds each year. Stay in an exclusive tented camp deep inside the park for unrivalled game viewing.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area Descend into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, a 260 km² natural enclosure sheltering one of Africa’s highest densities of wildlife. Black rhino, lion, elephant, and flamingo coexist in a landscape unlike anywhere else on earth.
Tarangire National Park Famous for its ancient baobab trees and some of Tanzania’s largest elephant herds. An off-the-beaten-track alternative that rewards those who venture beyond the Northern Circuit’s most visited parks.
Ruaha National Park Tanzania’s largest national park and one of Africa’s best-kept secrets. Ruaha delivers wild, remote game viewing with exceptional numbers of lion, leopard, wild dog, and elephant — and far fewer visitors than the Northern Circuit.
Selous / Nyerere National Park The largest game reserve in Africa. Home to massive hippo populations, Africa’s largest wild dog population, and extraordinary boat safaris along the Rufiji River.
Zanzibar Extension Complete your luxury safari experience with a few nights on the spice island of Zanzibar — white sand beaches, turquoise Indian Ocean waters, and world-class resorts just a short flight from the mainland.

Best Time for a Private Luxury Safari in Tanzania
Tanzania’s wilderness is remarkable year-round, but certain seasons offer distinct advantages:
June – October (Dry Season) — Peak Safari Season This is widely regarded as the best time for game viewing across all of Tanzania’s parks. Vegetation thins out, animals concentrate around water sources, and dust-free skies make for exceptional photography. The Great Wildebeest Migration is typically crossing the Mara River between July and September — one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles.
January – February (Green Season) Often called the “secret season” by experienced safari-goers. The short rains have ended, the landscape is lush and photogenic, lodges are quieter, and rates can be lower. Calving season in the Serengeti (January–February) attracts enormous concentrations of predators.
November – December The short rains arrive but rarely disrupt game drives. Birdlife is extraordinary during this period, with migratory species filling the parks. A wonderful time to travel with fewer crowds and competitive lodge pricing.
Our safari specialists will help you identify the ideal travel window based on your goals, whether that means witnessing the Wildebeest Migration, photographing lion cubs, or combining a safari with a Kilimanjaro climb.
