Why Choose a Special Departures Offer?
Special departures offers are one of the most exciting, social, and budget-friendly ways to experience the incredible wildlife of Tanzania. By joining a scheduled group departure, you share the costs of the 4x4 safari vehicle, fuel, and professional driver-guide among fellow travelers from around the world. This makes world-renowned destinations like the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Mikumi National Park accessible at an exceptional value.
Every special departure offer with BMC Tours & Safaris guarantees every passenger a window seat in our custom-built 4x4 Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs for 360-degree game viewing. Whether you are a solo traveler looking to make new friends, a couple seeking an affordable wildlife adventure, or a small group wanting to join a vibrant safari community, our special departure packages deliver the perfect balance of affordability, comfort, and unforgettable wildlife action.

Travel Advice
Frequently Asked Questions About Special Departures
What is a Special Departures Offer in Tanzania?
A Special Departures Offer allows solo travelers, couples, or small groups to book seats on a scheduled departure and share a 4x4 safari Land Cruiser with other travelers. By sharing vehicle, fuel, and professional driver-guide expenses, you enjoy the exact same high-quality game viewing in Tanzania's top national parks at a much more budget-friendly price.
How many people will be in our safari vehicle?
To ensure comfort and an exceptional game viewing experience, BMC Tours & Safaris limits special departure groups to a maximum of 6 to 7 passengers per vehicle. Every single passenger is guaranteed a window seat and easy access to the pop-up roof for photography and 360-degree views.
Which national parks can we visit on a Special Departures Offer?
Our special departure offers cover both the Northern Safari Circuit (including Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara) and Southern Circuit highlights like Mikumi National Park. Whether you choose a 1-day express trip or a multi-day camping adventure, you will explore Tanzania's premier wildlife habitats.
What type of accommodation is included in a Special Departures Offer?
Depending on the specific package selected, accommodation ranges from comfortable public campsites (budget camping with supplied tents and a private safari chef) to mid-range safari lodges and permanent tented camps. Check each individual package listing for detailed accommodation breakdowns.
Are Special Departures Offers suitable for solo travelers?
Yes! Special departures offers are the ideal choice for solo travelers. Not only do you avoid paying expensive single supplements for private vehicle charters, but you also get the opportunity to connect and share incredible African wildlife memories with like-minded adventurers from across the globe.
How far in advance should we book our spots on a special departure?
Because seating in each 4x4 Land Cruiser is strictly limited to 6 or 7 passengers to guarantee window seats, popular departure dates fill up quickly during peak seasons (June to October and December to February). We recommend booking your seat at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred departure date.
