Shared Safari Tours: A Social & Budget-Friendly Adventure
Experience Tanzania’s incredible wildlife with Zanzi Trekking and Safaris
At Zanzi Trekking and Safaris, we understand that not every traveler wants or needs a private safari – and that’s why we also offer shared tours, a more affordable and sociable way to experience Tanzania’s incredible national parks.
Here’s how our shared safaris work and why they might be the perfect fit for your adventure.
What is a Shared Safari Tour?
A shared tour is a safari experience where travelers from different bookings or tour companies are grouped together in the same vehicle to explore Tanzania’s national parks. This is a popular and budget-friendly way to enjoy an authentic safari without the cost of a private trip.
This setup allows travelers to split the cost of the vehicle, guide, and fuel, while still following their individual itineraries and accommodation bookings.
Even though guests come from different sources, the entire journey is professionally organized and led by an experienced guide – just like a private safari.
How the Shared Tour Works
- One safari vehicle typically carries 6 to 7 travelers, ensuring everyone has a window seat and enough space for comfort and viewing.
- You’ll be grouped with other travelers whose itineraries closely match yours in terms of park visits and safari dates.
- Though you share the vehicle, each client is accommodated according to their own itinerary. Whether you’re staying at a budget campsite, mid-range lodge, or luxury tented lodge, you’ll be dropped off at your specific hotel or camp.
- The tour is fully guided by a professional driver-guide provided by Zanzi Trekking and Safaris or Partner Company.
You get all the benefits of a guided safari experience – at a more accessible price.
Why Choose a Shared Safari?
Cost Savings
Split the cost of transportation and guide services with others. This is especially ideal for solo travelers or couples who want to keep costs down without compromising on the experience.
Social Experience
Meet fellow travelers from around the world. Exchange stories, share the excitement of wildlife sightings, and make new friends during your journey.
Avoid Being Alone
Traveling solo? Experience the journey with others, making it more fun, engaging, and safe. You’ll likely make new friends and never feel isolated.
Stay Independent
Your accommodation, meal plan, and travel schedule are still based on what you booked – so there’s no need to compromise on your preferred level of comfort.
Travel with Confidence
At Zanzi Trekking and Safaris, we carefully coordinate all logistics to make your shared tour smooth, respectful of your individual itinerary, and enjoyable from start to finish. You can expect the same professionalism, safety standards, and local expertise we provide on all our safari experiences – in a shared format.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Shared tours are well-organized, but do involve a bit of flexibility with pickup times and coordination.
- While you share a vehicle, you’ll still enjoy your own room and lodge, based on your booking level (budget, mid-range, or luxury).
- Safari activities, meals, and accommodations are tailored to your itinerary – you don’t lose your personal experience, you just share the ride!
