THE EXPERIENCE

Safari Overview

This 8 Days Tanzania Safari is a private Northern Tanzania wildlife journey designed to combine some of the country's most renowned safari destinations in one itinerary. Starting and ending in Arusha, the route travels through Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, including a game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater.
The safari combines varied landscapes and wildlife experiences, from the baobab-studded scenery of Tarangire and the forests and lake environment of Manyara to the open plains of the Serengeti and the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater. The itinerary includes multiple game drives with an experienced professional safari guide and private 4×4 safari transportation.
Two nights in the Serengeti allow more time for wildlife viewing rather than treating the park as a brief stop. Depending on the season and wildlife movements, travelers may encounter lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, hippos and a wide range of bird species. Sightings are naturally unpredictable and cannot be guaranteed.
The itinerary is suitable for couples, families, honeymooners, photographers, solo travelers and private groups. Because this is a private safari, the route and accommodation level can be adjusted around travel dates, interests, preferred pace and budget.
