Book This Safari
Welcome to Tanzania! Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport, you will be met by our representative and transferred to your hotel in Arusha. Take time to relax and prepare for your 7-day Tanzania safari adventure. In the evening, meet your professional safari guide for a detailed briefing about your journey ahead.
After breakfast, depart Arusha and drive to Tarangire National Park — known as the Land of Giants. This park is famous for its ancient baobab trees, some over 1,000 years old, and for having the largest elephant herds in northern Tanzania. During the dry season, hundreds of elephants gather along the Tarangire River. You will also spot lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and over 550 bird species. Enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park, then continue with afternoon game drives before heading to your lodge in Karatu.
After an early breakfast, drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with a stop at the crater rim for breathtaking views. Continue across the conservation area, passing Maasai villages and vast open plains, before entering Serengeti National Park from the south. The Serengeti is truly spectacular — famous for its endless golden grasslands and incredible wildlife density. It is home to over 3 million animals and is best known for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration. Enjoy afternoon game drives en route to your camp in Central Serengeti.
Today is dedicated entirely to exploring the Serengeti. Start with an early morning game drive when predators are most active. The Serengeti boasts an abundance of wildlife including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, and hyenas. The park is also home to over 500 bird species. Choose between morning and afternoon game drives with lunch at camp, or a full-day excursion with picnic lunch. Your guide will tailor the day based on recent wildlife sightings.
Another full day in the Serengeti — giving you maximum time to explore this incredible wilderness. Depending on the season, you may witness the Great Migration with vast herds of wildebeest and zebras crossing the plains. Every day in the Serengeti is different, and your guide will take you to the best locations based on recent sightings. Enjoy a more relaxed pace with early morning and late afternoon game drives, returning to camp for lunch and rest during the midday heat.
After breakfast, enjoy a final morning game drive through the Serengeti as you wind your way toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Arrive at the Ngorongoro Crater — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The crater was formed when a massive volcano exploded and collapsed on itself 2-3 million years ago. Descend 610 metres into the caldera for a half-day game drive. The crater shelters over 25,000 animals including the endangered black rhino, large lion prides, elephants, flamingos, and more than 500 bird species. After the game drive, ascend the crater wall and drive to your lodge in Karatu.
After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park — a compact but incredibly diverse park nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. The park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, vast flocks of flamingos (seasonal), and thick evergreen groundwater forest where baboons and elephants roam. Enjoy a morning game drive along the lakeshore and through the forest, with a picnic lunch inside the park. After the game drive, transfer to Arusha, Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), or Arusha Airport for your departure.
