Shared paths, new friends

Group joining safaris

Iconic wildlife encounters at a shared price. Why explore alone when you can share the magic?

Our Group Joining Safaris bring together travellers from around the world to experience the Serengeti and beyond. By sharing the vehicle and the expertise of our local guides, you get a front-row seat to the Great Migration and the Big Five at a fraction of the cost of a private tour.

Professional, social and perfectly planned, it's the ultimate way to make new friends while checking off your bucket list.

Whether you are joining a shared safari or travelling as a private group of friends or colleagues, we create well-organised and engaging experiences that combine adventure, connection and value.

Which trip suits you?

  • The quick escape: our 2-day safari is a high-impact blast through Tarangire and Ngorongoro, perfect for a tight schedule.
  • The essential highlights: the 4-day safari covers the Big Five and the crater's majesty on a focused circuit.
  • Into the Serengeti: the 5-day safari goes deep into the world's most famous plains.
  • The complete explorer: the 6-day safari gives you more time to track predators and soak in the starlit bush.
  • The ultimate expedition: the 7-day safari is the full Northern Circuit across four iconic parks.

Questions travellers ask

How does a group joining safari work?

You join other travellers in a shared vehicle on a set itinerary. Sharing the vehicle and guide brings down the cost compared with a private safari. Tell us your dates and we will let you know what is available.

Are group safaris good for solo travellers?

Yes. They are one of the most affordable and sociable ways to travel on your own in Tanzania.

Can my friends and I book as a private group?

Yes. We also arrange private group safaris for friends, families and colleagues who would like a vehicle to themselves.
