Hello safari lovers! Last week I had an inspiring conversation with a guest who will be going on safari with us next year. He asked me, quite rightly, why we are different from other safari providers in Tanzania or in other words: Why go on safari with Caracal Tours & Safaris? I didn’t have to think about it for long, but I thought it would be a good idea to answer this question in a blog. Here are the most important reasons why you should choose Caracal Tours & Safaris for your Tanzania trip!
Our Expertise: Specialist in Tanzania Travel
I have been living with Ben and our children at the foot of the majestic Kilimanjaro for over 14 years now, and this gives me the unique opportunity to not only know Tanzania from the inside, but also to constantly discover new places in the country. My world travel experience helps me to see the country in a broader perspective. This knowledge, combined with Ben’s deep expertise, makes us true specialists in Tanzania travel.
Ben regularly joins our clients on safari, and I also regularly inspect new lodges and routes. This way we always stay up to date with the latest developments in the region. This ensures that we can offer you not only the most popular safari experiences, but also insider tips for unique places that are often overlooked by other providers.
Small scale and Quality over Quantity
At Caracal Tours & Safaris, everything revolves around quality. We are not a large safari factory that puts you in a mass tourism system. Instead, we create tailor-made trips, especially for you. We believe that small-scale accommodations are the best for an authentic and personal experience. We like to work with small-scale lodges, hotels and tented camps that are owned by the local population or that contribute directly to the local community.
With this approach, we support the development of the country and ensure that your trip contributes to sustainable tourism. We work with a small, carefully selected pool of guides that we know personally and who share our standards of excellence. We may not be the cheapest provider, but we can offer you the best quality and an unforgettable experience.
With our local knowledge, we can also suggest undiscovered places in Tanzania that other tour operators often skip. This means that your safari will not only include the famous parks such as Serengeti and Ngorongoro, but also hidden gems that you will not find anywhere else such as Enduimet Wildlife Management Area or the beautiful protected area behind the Ngorongoro Crater.
Short Lines and Personal Attention
We believe that the preparation of your trip is just as important as the trip itself. That is why you can always count on personal attention and short lines. Marion and our team are always available via e-mail or WhatsApp, which ensures that the preparation for your trip is already a pleasant experience. You can put together the perfect program together with us and you will have all the time to prepare your trip down to the last detail.
Once you are in Tanzania, we are also ready to help. Whether you have a question about your accommodation, want to make a change to your itinerary, or simply need some local tips – our team is always available to respond quickly and efficiently. You don’t have to worry, we’ll make sure everything runs smoothly!

Why Choose a Safari in Tanzania?
Tanzania is one of the most beautiful and diverse safari destinations in the world. From the iconic Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater, from the Selous to the lesser-known nature reserves – there is so much to discover! What’s more, Tanzania not only offers the traditional safari experience, but also the chance to connect with local tribes, rich culture and breathtaking nature.
Whether you come for the Big Five, the impressive glowing sunsets, or to experience the fascinating migration of wild animals, a safari in Tanzania is an adventure you will never forget. And at Caracal Tours, we ensure that your trip is perfectly tailored to your needs, so that you get the most out of your safari.
