Seven shared-vehicle itineraries covering Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara. Expert guides, guaranteed departures, and live seat availability — the most affordable way to experience Tanzania's Northern Circuit.
A group joining safari is the smartest way to experience Tanzania without paying for a private vehicle. You share a dedicated 4×4 Land Cruiser — maximum six guests — with like-minded travellers from around the world, splitting the cost without compromising on anything that matters.
Our camping safaris start from $300 per person per day. Lodge-based group tours run $400–$550 per person per day — inclusive of meals, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater park fees, transport in a pop-top 4×4, and a professional TANAPA-licensed guide.
We operate daily departures across all seven itineraries. Every date on our calendar is a guaranteed departure — we do not cancel. If you want to travel solo, as a couple, or need to fit a set date, group joining is the answer.

Over 1,700 verified reviews from travellers who joined our group departures.
"Joined the 4-day group safari as a solo traveller. The guide Emmanuel was extraordinary — patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. We saw all five Big Five on day one. Unbelievable value."
"We were two couples and picked the 7-day Safari + Zanzibar. The transition from Serengeti to the beach was seamless — everything was arranged perfectly. Best holiday of our lives, and the price was incredible."
"The 5-day camping safari was beyond my expectations. Sleeping under a billion stars in the Serengeti, hearing lions in the night — this is what travel is for. Absolutely book the camping option."
Everything you need to know before booking your shared Tanzania safari.
A group joining safari is a shared-vehicle safari where individual travellers, couples, or small groups join together in a dedicated 4×4 Land Cruiser (maximum 6 guests). You share transport and guide costs with fellow travellers, making it the most affordable way to experience Tanzania without compromising on the quality of parks visited, accommodation, or guiding.
Our camping group safaris start from approximately $300 per person per day (total from $990). Lodge-based group joining safaris range from $400–$550 per person per day, depending on itinerary length and accommodation standard. All prices include park fees, accommodation, full board, transport, and a professional TANAPA guide — there are no hidden extras.
Yes — our group joining safaris are guaranteed departures. We do not require a minimum group size to confirm your booking. Once you're booked, your seat is confirmed and the safari will depart on your selected date. The live availability calendars on each package show remaining seats for any given date.
You'll share your Land Cruiser with up to five other travellers — typically a mix of solo adventurers, couples, and small friend groups from around the world. Our guests tend to be aged 20s–50s, travel-minded, and here for the wildlife. Many group safari guests become friends for life. We never mix different safari products in the same vehicle.
Camping safaris use public campsites inside the national parks — shared facilities, canvas tents, and meals cooked by your safari cook over a campfire. It's raw, authentic, and the lowest price point. Lodge safaris use guesthouses, tented lodges, or luxury camps with en-suite bathrooms, buffet meals, and often a pool or bar. The wildlife experience is identical — the difference is where you sleep and how you pay for it.
The 4-Day Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro lodge safari is our recommendation for first-timers. It hits Tanzania's three iconic parks — Tarangire's elephant families, the Serengeti plains, and the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater floor — in a well-paced four days at the fairest group joining price. It's consistently our highest-rated itinerary.
Group joining safaris operate on fixed routes and depart daily — you choose your preferred date from the availability calendar. If you'd like a customised route, different parks, or a private vehicle, we can build a private or mid-range itinerary for you from our Tanzania safari catalogue. Contact our planners with your dates and preferences.
