7 Days / 6 Nights Classic Tanzania Safari
Tarangire – Ngorongoro – Serengeti – Lake Manyara
- Day01
Arrival in Arusha
Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to your lodge in Arusha. After check-in, enjoy a welcome dinner and an overnight stay, ready to begin your safari adventure the next day.
- Day02
Arusha – Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park. Famous for its dense elephant population and ancient baobab trees, Tarangire is one of Tanzania's most photogenic parks. After lunch at the lodge, head out for an afternoon game drive. Look for elephants, lions, leopards, and the rare greater kudu. Dinner and overnight at your lodge.
- Day03
Tarangire – Ngorongoro Crater
Enjoy a final morning game drive in Tarangire, then drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Stop at a Maasai village en route. Arrive at your lodge on the crater rim in the late afternoon, with panoramic views of the caldera. Dinner and overnight at the crater rim.
- Day04
Ngorongoro Crater
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater in the early morning. The crater is home to around 30,000 large animals, including the Big Five. The endangered black rhino is regularly sighted here, as are large prides of lions and the spotted hyenas that dominate the crater's predator hierarchy. After a picnic lunch by the hippo pool, ascend the crater and return to your lodge on the rim.
- Day05
Ngorongoro – Serengeti
Drive through the highlands to the Serengeti. The road crosses the rim of the Ngorongoro and descends into the endless plains, with stops for wildlife viewing along the way. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch, then head out for an afternoon game drive in the central Seronera area. Dinner and overnight at the lodge.
- Day06
Full Day Serengeti
Spend a full day exploring the Serengeti. The Seronera area is the most reliable for big cats, and your guide will adapt the day to maximise sightings. During the migration (Jul–Oct), the herds are in the north; in the calving season (Jan–Feb), they are in the south. Return to the lodge for dinner.
- Day07
