"A Tanzanian Wildlife Safari with us & a lifetime of memories "

Providing safaris of varying destinations specially designed for the clients.
The safari is put together on the basis of interests of the clients from birding, wildlife,botanic, culture......etc





Accommodations ranges from Luxury Hotels & Lodges, Luxury Tented Camps to Select Camping "Out of Africa Style"  to budget camping safaris according to the desires of the clients.  Utilizing the knowledge gained through years of experience, we are able to offer a well balanced, enriching and rewarding experience

 

Tanzania Private Select Safaris was founded in the year 2003 by Aafeez Jivraj, who had then been working as a freelance & full time safari guide in various safari companies for more then 14 years. The time had come to change and give clients something very different from what the other safari outfitters were offering.

 

It was time to bring clients closer to nature and to give them a True African Experience.

 

The idea for Select Camping Safaris was born out of a desire to make it easier to follow the Great Migration. By conducting these type of mobile camping safaris, with small yet very inviting camps, we are able to set up and break down quickly when moving from one place to the other,giving clients freedom of movement and the authentic experience of Living Outdoors (bringing the clients closer to nature) without sacrificing clients true comfort.

 

Select Camping Safaris are a replica of the “OUT OF AFRICA” style, which take the clients back in time to the 1930’s and The Early Days of African Safari.

 

The camps are set up in secluded areas of the National Parks. There are no fences, and Elephants, Buffalo,Hyena, Baboons, Zebras, Jackals and sometimes even a Pride of Lions may pass though the camp. It is Africa at it’s best!!!!!!!!!!!

 

“OUT OF AFRICA” Style clients will have their own Personal Chef, Personal Waiter & Personal Camp Assistant, Private W/C’s and Separate Showers.
It brings the Old African feeling back to life !!!!! when on safari.

Would not recommend Tanzania Private Select

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
I traveled on Tanzania Private Select Safaris with my family. Aafez Jivraj did a good job before we gave him the money, he was prompt with his emails. Once we arrived in Africa it was a different story. PIck up was two hours late when we arrived and three of the hotels we booked under the premium package were changed on the itinerary we received the day upon landing and we were put in 3 star accommodation. This is despite us paying for the premium package. This is completely unacceptable. The only bright spot was Bongo Tours in Tanzania, they did a great job. tanzania private select actually sub contracts the trip to other safari providers, they are a middle man, I would not recommend them at all.

Safari – Was great and well organized. Meals were yummy and plentiful. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The only negative thing is that we would have liked to get started earlier the first day. Besides that, EVERYTHING was perfect! Highly Recommended!!!!!

6 Day Kilimanjaro Marangu Route – Wonderful staff, amazing food. Very well organized. No problems at all!! Bring hand & feet warmers!
