A safari beyond the ordinaryAbout Jabali
At Jabali Africa Travels, we believe luxury is not simply where you stay — it is how you experience the wild.
Inspired by the timeless kopjes of the Serengeti, we create highly personalised safari journeys that bring you closer to nature while taking you further from the crowds.
From private game drives across Tanzania's iconic landscapes to carefully selected properties and exceptional guiding, every detail is designed around space, authenticity and discovery.
Three ways into the wild
Every journey is shaped around you — start with the one that calls loudest.
How we travel
Your own vehicle, your own guide, every day
We do not run shared departures. The vehicle is yours, the day starts when you want it to, and the guide stays with you from arrival to departure.
- Extended Toyota Land Cruiser, fully open pop-up roof
- Never more than six guests, with a window seat for everyone
- Fridge, charging points and Wi-Fi where there is signal
- Binoculars, reference books and a camera bean bag on board
- Radio contact with our Arusha office throughout
- Standby vehicles positioned in every park we operate in
“We believe that the best safari moments are often the unexpected ones: a lion resting on a kopje at sunrise, elephants moving quietly through the bush, or a leopard disappearing into the golden grassland.”

When to go
There is no bad month — only different ones
Calving on the short grass
Half a million wildebeest calves born on the southern plains, with predators close behind. Hot, bright, and the best cat action of the year.
Peak for predators
Green season
The long rains. Landscapes at their most photogenic, camps at their quietest, and the lowest prices we offer.
Best value
Dry season and the crossings
Wildlife concentrates on permanent water; the herds move north to the Mara river from late July. Our busiest months — book early.
Classic season
Short rains, returning herds
Brief afternoon showers, green plains and the migration pushing back south. Good value either side of Christmas.

Common questions
The things guests ask us first
If your question is not here, write to us — we answer every enquiry personally.
Ask us on WhatsAppFor June to October, nine to twelve months is realistic — the small camps we use hold very few rooms. For the green season, three to four months is usually enough.
