“An unforgettable trip. Our guide spotted a leopard on day one and knew every bird by name. Milele Expeditions made it effortless.”
The private and custom day trips option is simple: tell us what you want from a day near Arusha, and we build it around you. Your own vehicle, your own guide, your own pace, one park or three experiences, wildlife or waterfalls or culture, exactly the day you have in mind.
Everything on our list can be combined, shortened or reshaped. Want the Ngorongoro Crater at a gentler pace, a waterfall morning paired with a coffee farm, or a mix of a market walk and a wildlife sanctuary? We plan the route, timings and logistics so it flows, and you keep the freedom to change your mind on the day.
Because it is fully private, there is no group to wait for and no fixed schedule. Start early for the light, linger where you are enjoying yourself, and skip what does not appeal.

Custom days are ideal for families with young children, photographers who want time in one place, travellers with limited days who want to combine highlights, and anyone who simply prefers privacy. They are also the easy answer to an odd half-day at the start or end of a trip.
Tell us your interests, your fitness, your budget and how long you have, and we will propose a day, then refine it until it is right.


The more you tell us, the better the day: interests, ages, fitness, dietary needs and how much driving you are happy with. Some combinations are limited by distance, so we will be honest about what fits comfortably into the daylight.
Entry fees, lunch and transfers are built into a single clear quote with no surprises. Not sure where to start? Browse our day trips for ideas, or fold your custom day into a longer Tanzania safari.
