What travelers say
"The decision logic helped us understand exactly why August was better than July for our Masai Mara trip. No vague promises, just clear reasoning."
"They told us our budget wouldn't work for what we wanted and suggested a realistic alternative. That honesty saved us from disappointment."
"First safari company that showed us the trade-offs upfront. We knew exactly what we were choosing and why."

Our Approach
How we plan safaris
Every safari we operate starts with clear decisions about timing, expectations, and trade-offs.
Clear verdicts
We give you direct answers, not vague suggestions. Go or don't go. This month or that one.
Visible trade-offs
Every choice has costs. We show you what you gain and what you give up.
Honest refusals
If we can't recommend something responsibly, we'll tell you why.
What to do
Safari Experiences
From classic game drives to walking safaris and gorilla treks.
Decision Support
Start with a real question
We publish our decision logic. Ask a question and get a clear, reasoned answer.
Is February a good time for Tanzania safari?
February rewards flexibility, but it is uneven.
Tanzania or Kenya for first safari?
Both deliver, but they deliver differently.
Is green season worth it for the savings?
Green season divides opinion for good reason.
Is July a good time for Tanzania safari?
July is peak season with clear trade-offs.
Is 5 days enough for safari?
Five days works, but constraints matter.
Should I take young children (under 6) on safari?
Age matters less than preparation.

We plan and operate private safaris. We also publish the decision logic behind our recommendations. You see exactly why we suggest what we suggest, and what would change our answer.
Built by safari operators
Vurara Safaris was founded by operators who spent years planning trips across East and Southern Africa. We built the decision system we wished existed. One that shows you exactly why we recommend what we recommend, and what would change our answer.
