Tanzania Classic & Unique Safari Packages
By Africa Pathways Expedition – Timeless Journeys, Tailored Uniquely
Explore Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations and hidden gems with Africa Pathways Expedition’s Classic & Unique Safari Packages — expertly crafted for travelers seeking the perfect blend of tradition, authenticity, and off-the-beaten-path adventure. These are among our most celebrated and top-selling itineraries, offering a rich and diverse safari experience across Northern and Southern Tanzania, with the option to begin or end your journey on the pristine beaches of Zanzibar.
Our Classic Safaris follow well-loved routes through legendary parks like the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire, ideal for first-time safari-goers who want to experience the best of Tanzania’s famed Northern Circuit.
Our Unique Safaris, on the other hand, take you into the wild and less-traveled regions of the Southern Circuit — including Ruaha National Park and Nyerere National Park (Selous) — where you’ll enjoy boat safaris, walking safaris, and fewer crowds in remote, untamed landscapes.
Together, these custom itineraries combine world-class wildlife encounters, local cultural experiences, and the flexibility to create your own unforgettable journey — whether you seek luxury, adventure, or a deeper connection with nature.
