Planning your Safari

Planning & Inspiration

Planning your Safari

We design all of our safaris so that our guests have an unparalleled experience., typically doing a morning and afternoon game drive in comfortable, well-supplied and expertly guided safari vehicles. Normally the drives are done in our jeeps, however there is the possibility to fly from one camp to another thus saving time. Depending on the camp or accommodation, we can choose from a wide range of activities, from classic game drives, bush picnics, cultural exchanges, bush walks, candlelight dinners to optional balloon rides and that rare luxury in modern life: deep, peaceful rest. And as an African-born company, our inspiration is endless. You Dream it, We Plant it, we will find the right safari for you.

What kind of safari do you want?

Private Classic Safaris – Classic safaris that are completely privatized, ideal for families, friends, lovers and with anyone who wants to enjoy Africa. Depending on your budget, you can choose the type of Safari you want, Standard, Semi-Luxurious or Luxurious, all of them are sublime and guarantee a Once in a Lifetime Experience. And in all cases – whether it is a luxury Safari, small group safari or a personalized, totally private, handcrafted Safari – you will be treated the same way… for us each client is unique and this leads to Unique Experiences. 

Custom Safaris – Fully private, individually planned, short, long, the sky is the limit.

How much time do you have?

Of course, we recommend that you take as much time on safari as possible, so wonderful is the African experience. Our Classic Safaris vary in the number of days and our Custom Safaris can be any length, from a week to a month or more. As always, your schedule and preferences dictate our planning.

Where would you like to Safari?

There are countless parks and each park has its own specificity and beauty, here our Safari specialists will help you to choose the best solution.

When is the best time to safari?

A major question. But not so easy to answer. Our Classic safaris operate throughout the year and our Custom Safaris launch whenever you want them to. Our safari experts will offer detailed suggestions based on your schedule and preferences—and, only a click away, we discuss weather in the varied regions in which we safari, along with many commonly asked safari questions.

What are the camps and lodges like? And what’s the difference between a camp and a lodge?

Each one has a colorful personality and a lovingly chosen location. In all of them you will experience Africa in its splendor.
Lodges typically consist of permanent cottages and a traditional manor house, or individually decorated rooms in that
welcoming house, which often has multiple dining areas, outside and inside, and lush landscaping for carefree walks.
Without losing a smidgen of quality, camps usually feature a main house, and a number of luxuriously appointed,
refreshingly airy tents (with en suite bathrooms, verandahs, and sitting areas).

How much does a Safari cost?

Our answer to “How much does a safari cost?” is probably the most complicated of all. Further questions we need to ask to work out the cost of your safari include:

Some key questions will need to be asked before we can design an itinerary and get its value, small details can make all the difference. All itineraries will be carefully handled in consultation with the client to ensure that the itinerary is ideal, desired and meets the client’s budget.

And what about African culture?

We have a saying, tried and true: People come to Africa to see its wildlife, but they leave in love with its people. We were born here and we have the deep knowledge of the local life and its rich culture, you will have contact with our people and feel like one of our people, from the Maasai tribe to the Hadzabe, you will be welcomed with a happy “Jambo”.

What should I do now?

After reading the above, you should already have some insight into what you want in a Safari. Let’s start planning your Dream Safari?

Os nossos guias Jackson e Isaac foram impecáveis! Fomos muito bem recebidos pelo Zacharia! De referir também que, o Rui esteve sempre disponível para responder e esclarecer todas as nossas dúvidas desde o momento em que entrámos em contacto com ele até ao fim da nossa estadia na Tanzânia! Asante sana!

Sonho Realizado Desde o primeiro momento que entramos em contacto com o Rui que os nossos sonhos se tornaram realidade. O Safari, todo ele planeado, desenhado e criado com toda a atenção, carinho e dedicação. As mil e uma surpresas, a dedicação do nosso guia e condutor Jackson pela procura de todos os animais, paisagens, fotos e momentos únicos elevaram este Safari aos nossos sonhos. Seguidos de paisagens azuis turquesa e areia branca em Zanzibar com os nossos guias Hafizi e Nasri que procuraram sempre e deram-nos sempre o seu melhor e o melhor de Zanzibar. Sem dúvida foi melhor do que tudo o que podíamos ter sonhado. Obrigado Rui e obrigado a todos da Time For African Adventures por nos terem marcado para a vida.

Perfect Safari! The hard task to make this dream come true was only possible due my Dear Super Guide Denis Sedrick. He was a super nice guy, and since the first second we had that feeling. He received us with a huge smile and kindness, giving us the necessary “Hakuna Matata” to be relaxed after the long travel. This reception allow us to start with the proper mood to make the dream come true. After this perfect introdution, Denis guided us to the first visit, throuth Kilimanjaro experience, with his kind way, he understood how tired we were, and he kindly lead all the communications with the guide of the Kilimanjaro tour. Here we saw a beatifull waterfall and we learn the typicall way to make caowa. After we experienced the real deal Safari. Here we saw how experient Denis is. He made us feel the wildlife of the jungle and savana, from Tarangire, to Mayanara, to Norongoro, to Seringheti and Crater of Norongoro. The eagle’s eyes of Denis lead us to see the big 5 in the first day of 2 in Seringheti. He makes it look easy. This long journey was always done with super professional explanations. One feels like a BBC Wildlife documentary. All this amazing Safari was always with a super smile from Denis since the 1st second until the last second. Even when we were super tired. So Denis is the perfect guide to lead and accomplish your Safari dream!!! “You Will Have Your Own Story To Tell”.

Amazing safari experience! Our experience with Time for African Adventures was really great. They adjusted our trip according to what we wanted, making our dream trip a reality. Arriving at Tanzania, we met Denis Sedrick, our guide throughout the safari. He was very enthusiastic and took us on an incredible safari journey, answering all our doubts, all our questions about the parks, the animals, the Tanzanian culture. Waiting for us every morning with the same good energy and stopping to see the animals whenever we asked. We really appreciate his dedication and spent memorable moments with him. Thank you Denis. The safari was really the best experience, we saw the big five, we learned so many things, we are passionate about all the animals (lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, elephants...) and we already know a few words in Swahili. I recommend Time for African Adventures if you want to experience an incredible safari adventure.

Amazing Safaris Denis was amazing. Always smiling and laughing. Stop a lot of Times to explain our doubts about safaris, animals, the great migration, sharing his books sometimes for more imagens. It really was amazing being guided by Denis. In the end i think that he was part of the group and Will BE missed. Thank you so much Denis!!!

Incredible experience with the best! The safari experience exceeded our very high expectations, it was just amazing. We saw the big 5, among other incredible animals in their natural habitat. We were able to see very closely to our car lions, elephants, zebras, and buffalos - a real life experience. Denis was our guide and we couldn’t ask for a better one! His happiness, knowledge, and patience were crucial to make every day a special adventure. He explained us the animals behaviors, clarified our doubts, showed examples and curiosities in books. And he stopped the jeep all the endless times we asked him - thank you again Denis, hope you see this message. In summary, incredible days (and nights in Serengeti) and I highly recommend Times for African Adventures for a safari adventure!

Great safari experience The experience of doing a 5-days Safari with a guide was amazing. Denis Sedrick was a really helpful person, special for me that have reduced mobility. He always helped me with every difficulty, which included sometimes to lift me to the Jeep. He is a really nice guy, and as a guide he always tried to meet our expectations regarding animals to see. He was tireless 🙂 I definitely recommend doing a Safari with Time for African experience!
