Your Signature Journey

Your journey with Back to Eden Adventures is designed around you. The itinerary below offers a glimpse of what your safari could look like, thoughtfully crafted to inspire a private journey tailored to your interests, pace, and preferences.

Arrival Day

Welcome to Tanzania — The Beginning of Your Journey

Arrive in Tanzania and meet your private safari team before being transferred to Arusha. Take time to settle into your accommodation and enjoy a relaxed first evening, giving everyone in the family an opportunity to rest after the journey and become familiar with the surroundings.

Your guide will meet with the family and make sure everything is ready for the adventure ahead. With the safari designed around your family’s pace and interests, there is no need to rush — tomorrow begins with a different kind of wildlife experience, on foot in Arusha National Park.

Day 1: Arusha National Park

Step Into the Wild — Discover Tanzania on Foot

Begin your safari with a guided walking experience in Arusha National Park, offering the family a completely different way to experience Tanzania. Accompanied by a trained walking guide and ranger, explore the landscape on foot while learning about animal tracks, plants, birds and the smaller details that are often missed from a safari vehicle.

The experience creates a wonderful sense of discovery, especially for families, as everyone becomes part of the environment rather than simply observing it from a distance. After the walk, enjoy the park’s beautiful scenery before returning to Arusha and preparing for your flight into the Serengeti the following day.

A Peaceful Journey Into Nature

Discover a quieter side of Tanzania as you glide across calm waters surrounded by beautiful landscapes and the sounds of nature. A canoeing safari offers a completely different perspective of the wilderness, taking you away from the usual safari roads and onto lakes, rivers, and waterways where wildlife and birdlife can be observed from the water. ...

Day 2 – Day 5: Serengeti National Park

Four Days of Discovery — Life Across the Serengeti

Fly from Arusha into the Serengeti, dramatically reducing the travel time and allowing the family to begin exploring the wilderness almost immediately. Over the following four days, enjoy private game drives across the park’s changing landscapes, searching for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, hippos and the great predators that make the Serengeti so extraordinary.

Having several days in the Serengeti allows the family to experience the park without constantly packing and moving on. Early morning drives, relaxed afternoons and exciting wildlife encounters create a natural rhythm, while your guide can adapt each day to the family’s interests, energy levels and the wildlife activity around you.

Explore Experience
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater

Descend Into a World of Wildlife — The Crater Experience

Leave the Serengeti behind and travel towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before descending onto the crater floor for a private game drive. The crater’s enclosed environment is home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife, giving the family opportunities to encounter lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, hippos and, with luck, the rare black rhino.

Surrounded by the towering walls of the ancient caldera, the crater offers a dramatic setting for one of the family’s most memorable safari days. After exploring the crater floor, ascend into the highlands and continue towards your accommodation, where you can relax and reflect on the day’s encounters.

Explore Experience
Day 7: Tarangire National Park

Giants of the African Bush — A Day Among Elephants

Continue to Tarangire National Park, where enormous baobabs, golden grasslands and ancient woodland create a beautiful setting for the family’s final full safari experience. Tarangire is especially known for its elephants, and the family may encounter large herds moving through the park alongside giraffes, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest and a variety of smaller wildlife.

The day offers plenty of opportunities to slow down and enjoy the details of the African bush, from watching elephants interact to spotting birds and smaller animals along the way. Your private guide can tailor the pace to the family, creating time for both exciting wildlife sightings and quiet moments in nature.

From the Wild Back to Arusha — A Gentle Return

Enjoy a relaxed morning before leaving the Tarangire area and travelling back towards Arusha. After several days immersed in Tanzania’s wilderness, this slower transition gives the family time to reflect on the experiences of the journey while enjoying the changing landscapes along the way.

Arrive in Arusha and settle into your accommodation for your final evening in Tanzania. Enjoy a relaxed family dinner or simply take time together to look back on the moments that have made the journey special, from walking in the forest to watching elephants and discovering the Serengeti.

Until We Meet Again — Carrying Africa With You

Enjoy your final morning in Arusha at your own pace, with time for breakfast, relaxation or a little exploration depending on your departure schedule. When it is time to leave, your private transfer will take you to the airport for your onward flight.

The safari ends, but the memories travel home with you — walking through Arusha National Park, discovering wildlife across the Serengeti, descending into the Ngorongoro Crater and watching elephants among Tarangire’s ancient landscapes. It is a journey designed not only to see Africa, but to experience it together as a family.

Questions Before You Go

Every journey with Back to Eden Adventures is thoughtfully designed around your interests, pace, and sense of adventure. Here you’ll find answers to the questions our guests often ask about planning, accommodation, activities, logistics, and what to expect along the way. If there’s anything you’re still wondering about, our team is always here to help you plan your journey with confidence.

Tanzania Safari holidays are good all-year-round. Because of such close proximity to the equator, Tanzania undergoes two distinct dry and wet seasons. But the best-best time depends on the type of Tanzania safari activity you choose. However, the dry season of June to October is considered to be the best time to go on the Tanzania safari.
Ideally, there is no fixed price range for Tanzania safari. There are several factors such as time, numbers of days, and accommodations types that influence the Tanzania safari cost. However, the average cost of Tanzania Safari per day can come down to $400 (dollars) per head for a lodge safari and around $200 (dollars) per day for camping.
Yes, Tanzania is a fairly safe country. Every year millions of tourists visit this beautiful country in the hopes of a thrilling Tanzania travel experience. And, the statistics say that maximum tourists leave the country with their heart bubbling with joy and a secret promise to visit again.
Tanzania offers a great range of lodges and tented camps. However, your Tanzania accommodations depend on the type of packages you have purchased like budget safaris, standard or luxury Tanzania safari.
The duration of an ideal Tanzania safari can take between 5 to 10 days, to ensure you hit all the top spots on your safari. The length though can depend on how long you’d like to stay and enjoy a specific place, hotel, park on your itinerary.

Incredible experience with Back to Eden Adventures As the Great Migration season kicks off in June, I'm excited to share my unforgettable Safari experience in Tanzania with Back to Eden Adventures. Their expert guide Hassan took us on thrilling game drives, bringing us face-to-face with incredible wildlife. We savored every moment, eagerly awaiting sightings of lions and cheetahs in action. The highlight of our trip was a luxurious 2-day glamping adventure deep in the middle of forest, with impeccable service from the staff. Special thanks to Laurent and Gift and for their exceptional customer service, which truly made our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend Back to Eden Adventures to anyone planning a Tanzanian adventure.

The entire team, from our guides to the porters, were exceptional. The itinerary was well-paced and allowed us to acclimatize properly. We enjoyed stunning views throughout the trek, and the campsites were well-chosen and offered incredible vistas.

Great safari experience! Planned a trip for my parents and another couple, and they had an amazing time! They mentioned Laurent specifically took very good care of them during the whole tour and to their particular needs whether it was the food, their medical conditions etc. I definitely recommend this tour for safari in Serengeti. Reach out to Laurent! He's so easy to get along with and communicate with so that you can plan in advance with him before your trip.

Kilimanjaro Hiking – 9 Days Northern Circuit

For those who wish to experience Kilimanjaro beyond its familiar trails, the Northern Circuit offers an extraordinary journey around the mountain’s quieter northern slopes. The adventure begins in the western rainforest before climbing onto the vast Shira Plateau, where open moorland and volcanic landscapes reveal sweeping views of Kibo. From there, the trail leaves the more frequently travelled routes behind and follows the remote northern side of the mountain, passing beneath the Lent Hills and across high-altitude terrain with distant views towards Kenya. Each stage reveals a different character of Kilimanjaro, making this route especially rewarding for travellers who value solitude, varied scenery and a more gradual approach to the summit.

With nine days on the mountain, the itinerary allows more time to experience the changing elevations and prepare for the final ascent. The journey passes through alpine desert towards School Hut, where the summit attempt begins during the night. Reaching Uhuru Peak requires endurance, careful pacing and attention to altitude, but standing at 5,895 metres offers a remarkable opportunity to appreciate the scale of Africa’s highest mountain. After the summit attempt, descend towards Millennium Camp before continuing to the park gate. Back to Eden Adventure coordinates the arrangements throughout the journey, allowing you to focus on the mountain, the experience and the achievement of travelling across one of Kilimanjaro’s most distinctive routes.

Kilimanjaro Hiking – 8 Days Northern Circuit

For travellers who want to experience Kilimanjaro beyond its most familiar trails, the Northern Circuit offers a remarkable journey around the mountain’s quieter northern slopes. Beginning on the western side, the route passes through lush rainforest and across the expansive Shira Plateau before reaching remote valleys beneath the rugged Lent Hills. As the landscape changes from dense forest to open moorland and high alpine desert, the mountain reveals new perspectives at every stage. The northern traverse is especially rewarding, offering expansive views towards Kenya, dramatic volcanic scenery and a sense of solitude that makes this route distinct from the busier approaches.

The journey gradually leads towards the eastern side of Kibo before turning towards the summit. With several days spent exploring different elevations and landscapes, the Northern Circuit provides valuable opportunities for acclimatisation, although altitude sickness remains a risk and summit success is never guaranteed. The final ascent to Uhuru Peak is demanding, requiring patience, determination and careful guidance from your mountain team. After the summit attempt, descend through the southern slopes to Mweka Camp and continue to the park gate the following day. Back to Eden Adventure takes care of the arrangements so you can concentrate on the experience, the changing scenery and the extraordinary achievement of climbing Africa’s highest mountain.
