Safari summary

Embarking on an 8-day safari through Tanzania is a journey into one of the most breathtaking natural spectacles on Earth. This itinerary immerses you in the stunning landscapes and vibrant wildlife of Tanzania’s iconic national parks, leading you to the heart of the Great Migration in the Serengeti.

Your adventure begins at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you will be welcomed and transferred to Tarangire National Park. Known for its dramatic scenery and large herds of elephants, Tarangire sets the stage for an exhilarating start. As you enter, you’ll see towering baobab trees and hear the sounds of the African wilderness. The park is renowned for its diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, and many bird species. A game drive here provides fantastic photographic opportunities, especially during the dry season when animals gather around water sources.

After Tarangire, your journey continues to Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its stunning views and rich biodiversity. Upon arrival, a game drive showcases the park's lush forests, expansive soda lake, and the tree-climbing lions. Lake Manyara is a birdwatcher's paradise, home to over 400 species, including flamingos that grace the shores. The diverse habitats allow for sightings of elephants, giraffes, and a variety of birds.

Next is the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most extraordinary wildlife areas in the world. As you descend into the crater, you’ll be captivated by the breathtaking views and the abundance of wildlife. The crater floor hosts animals like the elusive black rhino, lions, zebras, and wildebeests. This concentration of wildlife makes for an unforgettable experience.

Following Ngorongoro, you’ll travel to Serengeti National Park, known for its vast savannahs and the Great Migration. Over four days, you’ll witness one of nature’s greatest spectacles as millions of wildebeests and zebras traverse the plains. Witnessing their dramatic river crossings at the Mara River is a highlight, as these animals brave treacherous waters and encounter predators.

In the Serengeti, you’ll explore various regions, each offering unique landscapes and wildlife experiences. From open plains to riverbanks, every game drive provides new opportunities for discovery, including observing predators like lions and cheetahs.

The Serengeti’s landscapes are breathtaking, with golden grasses, lush riverine forests, and stunning sunsets creating a picturesque backdrop. Each day is filled with excitement as you encounter the diverse wildlife that calls this region home.

As your safari concludes, you’ll enjoy a final morning game drive in the Serengeti, taking in the sights and sounds one last time. After a leisurely drive, a picnic lunch awaits before returning to Arusha. Depending on your travel plans, you’ll be transferred to your hotel or Kilimanjaro International Airport for departure.
