Tanzania Overland Safari

10 days/9 nights

ACCESSIBILITY: This journey can be tailored for those that have physical and/or neuro-diversity needs. We’ll collaborate with you to modify the itinerary as needed to turn your trip into a reality.


Experience Tanzania’s diverse landscapes on an overland safari that captures the dramatic, ever-changing scenery. With a dedicated private guide, you have the freedom to travel at your own pace—within park regulations. 


A hallmark of any safari is the trip's pacing. This is even more so on overland trips. A well-structured itinerary ensures comfort while maximizing time when you are in each destination. This trip has been strategically designed to limit transit times to under two hours.


Advantages of an Overland Tanzania Safari:


• Spend time at a sighting of your favorite species without adhering to flight schedules.


• Generally, driving is more affordable for groups of four or more, as the costs of a private vehicle and guide are shared, avoiding the expensive bush flights.


• No luggage restrictions for your luggage or personal weight. Unlike small bush flights with strict safety weight limits for personal and luggage weight, driving allows you to bring more gear, including hard-shelled suitcases.


Overland safaris are especially recommended for the avid photographer taking heavy camera equipment..


Born Free meticulously designs driving safaris to limit transit times, aiming to keep travel between destinations to under two hours whenever possible. However, regardless of how strategically itineraries are planned, safari travel inevitably involves navigating long, uneven, and sometimes dusty roads.


Key considerations for maximizing game viewing:

  • December- March:        Southern Serengeti/Ndutu (Calving season, less crowded).
  • Late May-July:              Western Corridor/Grumeti section of the Serengeti.
  • July-September:           Excellent resident wildlife Central and Northern Serengeti.            
  • October-December:     Northern Serengeti when herds return from the Mara.
