Travel Advice
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the safari vehicles completely private?
Yes, you will have exclusive use of a customized 4x4 land cruiser with a pop-up roof for your entire tour. This means you do not have to share the vehicle with strangers, allowing you to choose window seats for everyone, enjoy complete privacy with your family or friends, and set your own schedule throughout the day.
Can we adjust the daily itinerary, game drive start times, and schedules?
Yes, absolutely. You can coordinate directly with your private guide every evening to plan the next day's start time, route, and style of game drive. Whether you want to leave at dawn with a picnic breakfast to catch the early predators, or have a relaxed morning by the pool and head out for an afternoon drive, the choice is entirely yours.
Is a private safari suitable for solo travelers, couples, and custom group sizes?
Absolutely. Private safaris are perfect for solo travelers seeking a highly focused experience, couples looking for a romantic escape, families traveling with children, or small groups of friends. We tailor the entire pace, vehicle setup, and lodge selection to match the dynamics and unique interests of your specific group.
How does a private safari compare in cost to a group-joining safari?
While a private safari has a higher upfront cost because you are paying for the private vehicle, fuel, and guide exclusive use, it offers significantly better value for couples, families, and small groups. When the costs of a private custom tour are split among 4 to 6 travelers, the price per person becomes very competitive with group-joining options. Furthermore, the unmatched flexibility to customize your daily itinerary, avoid compromise on routes, and receive personalized attention from your guide makes the investment in a private safari immensely rewarding.
What qualifications and background do your private safari guides have?
At BMC Tours & Safaris, we believe the quality of your guide defines the quality of your safari. All our private safari guides are certified professional naturalists who have graduated from recognized wildlife management colleges in Tanzania. They possess a minimum of 5 to 15 years of active field experience, have advanced training in wilderness first aid, and are fluent in English (with guides speaking other languages available on request). Beyond their expert tracking and animal behavior reading skills, our guides are passionate hosts committed to sharing Swahili culture, local geography, and conservation insights.
Can we accommodate special dietary requirements or celebrate special occasions on a private safari?
Absolutely. One of the greatest advantages of a private safari with BMC Tours & Safaris is our ability to tailor every detail to your needs. We regularly accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, and specific allergy-related dietary requirements by coordinating in advance with all the safari lodges and camps on your route. If you are celebrating a special occasion like a honeymoon, wedding anniversary, or birthday, we can arrange special surprises such as romantic candlelit dinners under the stars, complimentary bottles of wine, or a custom cake in the middle of the Serengeti bush.
