Edinburgh to the Serengeti | Bring home wild memories with the Tanzania Safari Club

A golden glowing sun sinking behind acacia trees (you don’t need to, there is a picture below), a lioness stretching lazily across the savannah, elephants moving majestically in the distance. We’ve all seen the Serengeti narrated so eloquently by Sir David Attenbough, and it’s become the dream of thousands of people in the UK. Forbes listed it as number 3 on the top most popular bucket list picks. 

Tanzania’s landscapes are legendary, but planning a safari there?

That can feel like stepping into a puzzle without the picture on the box. It’s overwhelming to say the very least. The cost can quickly spiral. Which National parks to visit? Do you need to camp? And the thought of travelling halfway across the world to a place so unlike home? It can be intimidating.

That’s why the Tanzania Safari Club was established in 2018. They make the dream of Tanzania achievable, without stress, overpaying, or guesswork. Let’s meet the founders and see how they solve all of these problems for you. 

Safari is just extremely expensive 

It’s a fact. Safari in Tanzania can seem expensive and, therefore, exclusive for some. Tere are Safari packages that add up to an eye-watering £25,000. Yes, twenty-five-thousand-pounds. 

The founder Ian says: “What this comes down to is the accommodation, additional services like balloon rides,  flights between the national parks, and booking with international hotels and travel companies, who need larger mark-ups”. He goes on, “While the high-end Safari experience is exceptional, it’s almost completely unessisary, and to be honest, you miss out on all the best parts.. the average person does not need to spend this kind of money to get a life-changing experience”.

Many people think a Tanzanian safari requires a fortune. It doesn’t. As both the founders have local friends and family connections in Tanzania, the Tanzania Safari Club can secure the best rates on accommodation, transport and activities. Usually, deals that are impossible to find online. That means you get exceptional experiences without the premium price tag.

Their insider knowledge also protects travellers from hidden costs and tourist traps – which seem to be a huge concern for people travelling for Safari.

“Our purpose as a company is to share Tanzania with people, and for them to see it in the best possible way. Therefore, we want to make travelling to the country as financially accessible as we can”

Every itinerary is designed to ensure your money goes toward experiences, not unnecessary extras. A luxury safari doesn’t have to break the bank; it just needs the right local connections.

The company can accommodate your budget and make sure you get the most out of your experience on Safari. 

It’s hard to know where to go.

Everybody who plans a trip for a Safari in Africa says the same thing: “its overwhelming”. There are hundreds of companies, from across Africa, that claim to offer the best Safari experiences. 

Tanzania is a leading location, but even then, organising here can be exhausting. Where should you go? When? How long? And what if you miss the best wildlife sightings because you didn’t know the routes or seasons? Will we be safe, and will there be hidden costs when we get into the country? Tanzania Safari Club takes the guesswork out of the equation.

The company is based in Edinburgh, the UK, and Bonita is from Tanzania, so, they can act as a bridge between travellers and locals. They know which parks deliver the most wildlife action, where secret viewpoints and hidden gems lie, and how to optimise every day for maximum adventure. They speak to the guides and drivers daily, so, know what is happening on the ground at all times. The result? A fully tailored safari that’s stress-free, memorable, and seamless.

The company structures their packages with 4 day, 6 day and 8 day safaris – with the possibility to add a 4, 6 or 8 day beach holiday in Zanzibar (domestic flights, transfers and spice island tours included). Otherwise, they can produce bespoke experiences for a fee that will be removed from the price of the full safari at the point of booking. 

Travelling so far is daunting! 

A third concern many people have while travelling to Tanzania for the first time is that it can feel daunting. Questions about safety, transport, or what to expect are natural. Tanzania Safari Club doesn’t just book your trip – they guide you through it.

From pre-departure advice and packing tips to on-the-ground support in Tanzania, their team ensures you always feel comfortable and confident. Even after you return home, they’re available for follow-up questions, advice and tips for future trips. It’s a level of support that transforms a complex adventure into an unforgettable experience that you’re willing to recommend to others. 

Why The Tanzania Safari Club Exists: Passion-Driven Safaris

What sets Tanzania Safari Club apart isn’t just expertise – it’s passion. Tanzania, like Edinburgh, is their home. They love Tanzania, and they want you to love it too. 

“We want travellers not only to see Tanzania’s wildlife, landscapes, and cultures with their own eyes, but to carry those experiences home, to share them, and to help the world see Tanzania as we do: a place of beauty and wonder worth returning to year after year.”

“Through unforgettable experiences, we aim to grow tourism in a way that supports local communities, builds schools, and preserves the country’s heritage; to celebrate Tanzanian culture”

Their itineraries aren’t a checklist of famous parks; they’re a curated journey through the country’s most stunning landscapes, its rich wildlife, and its unique culture. They want you to return home with “wild memories” that you tell your friends and family, so they too can experience Tanzania as a fantastic holiday location. 

Whether it’s witnessing a pride of lions at dawn, sharing a moment with a Maasai elder, or exploring quiet, lesser-known corners of the Serengeti, every experience is designed to leave a lasting impression. This is more than a holiday-it’s a connection to a country, a culture, and a world unlike any other.
