Itineraries

Wildlife Safaris

When people think "Safari", this is what they had in mind -- big cats, elephants, zebras and million-strong herds of wildebeest.  

There is no better place in the world for wildlife safaris -- let Black Mamba take you there.  Tanzania is arguably the best place to go to see the big game.  We have more national parkland set aside for wildlife than any other place in Africa.  From the endless plains of the Serengeti in the north to the great Selous in the south, Tanzania has what you're looking for in a wildlife safari.

Black Mamba has guided safaris throughout Tanzania since our founding in 1994.  We strive to give every client the very best journey possible.  Our itineraries are fully customizable.  We will work with you and your timeframe to create a once in a lifetime experience.

Destinations

Depending on your budget and your preferences, you can either camp, stay in a luxury tented camp or at a lodge:

Camping
Camping on the Serengeti, or along the rim of Ngorongoro is quite different than camping back home...Where else can you fall asleep with the sound of the zebras and wildebeest drifting through camp?  Campsites are fairly basic affairs, but that doesn't mean that your experience will be.  Do the animals only show themselves to those who stayed at the five-star resort?  No!  Your game drives will be every bit as exciting as those in the lodge.   While you are out on a game drive, our cooks will prepare your meals and a campfire.  All campsites have showers and bathrooms available.

Luxury Tents
Luxury tented campsites are very much like full-service hotels, except that you sleep in large tents and dinner is typically held outdoors under the African sky.  Each tent is large enough to stand up, walk around and has a comfortable bed.  It gives you the comforts of a hotel, but adds a bit of the excitement of camping on the Serengeti.  Some luxury tented camps have lighted watering holes to view the wildlife at night. 

Lodges
The lodges of Tanzania's National Parks are very comfortable, luxurious oases in the wilds of Africa.  Between game drives, you can relax by the pool, play a game of tennis, or get a massage.  Most lodges will also have a lighted watering hole where you can view the wildlife as it congregates at night.
