Safari summary

This 10-day safari offers an unforgettable experience, diving deep into the heart of Tanzania’s most iconic national parks. With a focus on unparalleled wildlife encounters, dramatic landscapes, and cultural immersion, this safari is the perfect adventure for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and those seeking to explore one of the world's most incredible ecosystems.

Your journey begins with your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA), where you’ll be greeted by your guide and transferred to a comfortable hotel in Arusha. The evening will be yours to relax and get acclimatized to the surroundings. Enjoy a peaceful night before embarking on an exciting safari journey across Tanzania’s breathtaking parks. Arusha itself, nestled in the shadow of Mount Meru, is a charming gateway to many of Tanzania's most famous attractions.

After spending some time in Arusha, your first major stop will be the magnificent Tarangire National Park, a vast wilderness known for its iconic baobab trees and abundant wildlife. Tarangire is often less crowded than other parks, offering a more intimate experience with nature. As you enter the park, you’ll be immediately struck by the grandeur of the landscape and the beauty of its wildlife. The park is famous for its large herds of elephants, and it is not uncommon to spot families of elephants wandering together under the shade of the giant baobab trees. Apart from elephants, Tarangire is home to a wide variety of species, including lions, giraffes, zebras, and buffaloes. Bird watchers will also be delighted, as the park is home to over 500 species of birds.

As you drive through the park’s varied ecosystems—ranging from savannah grasslands to swampy wetlands—you’ll enjoy a full day of game viewing. You’ll have a chance to observe wildlife in their natural habitats and learn from expert guides about the park's complex ecosystems and animal behaviors. A midday break for a picnic lunch allows you to relax and reflect on your surroundings while being immersed in the natural beauty of the area. Your overnight stay will be in a comfortable tented camp, where you can unwind under the African stars and listen to the sounds of the wild.

The following day provides another opportunity to dive deeper into the wilderness of Tarangire. With its sprawling plains and river systems, the park offers excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing. Here, you can track the movement of wildebeest, hartebeests, and cheetahs, or witness the dramatic hunt of a lion pride as they stalk their prey through the tall grasses. The park’s diverse terrain offers the chance to encounter new wildlife species that may not have been visible during the previous day’s game drive. Your camp offers a tranquil retreat after a day of exploration.

Next, your safari continues to the Ngorongoro Crater, an area of extraordinary beauty and diversity. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a vast volcanic caldera, which is home to one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. The Ngorongoro Crater floor is a haven for a wide range of wildlife, from the Big Five to rare and endangered species like the black rhino. As you descend into the crater, you’ll have a chance to see animals such as lions, elephants, and zebras grazing peacefully amidst the stunning backdrop of the caldera’s walls. The crater is also home to several soda lakes, which are often dotted with flamingos and other waterfowl.

The Ngorongoro Crater is unique in that it provides a microcosm of Tanzania’s landscapes, with lush forest areas, grasslands, and open salt flats all coexisting within the caldera. You’ll spend a full day exploring this remarkable area, witnessing firsthand how different ecosystems can exist side by side. During a picnic lunch on the crater floor, you’ll have the chance to enjoy a meal while surrounded by wildlife. The day ends with a drive back to a lodge perched on the crater rim, offering sweeping views of the vast caldera below.

Following your adventure in Ngorongoro, your journey will take you to the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, a place that needs little introduction. Serengeti is most famous for its annual wildebeest migration, but it is also a haven for predators like cheetahs, leopards, and lions. The Serengeti’s endless plains are a sight to behold, and the park’s incredible diversity makes it one of the best places on earth to see wildlife in their natural environment. Here, you will spend several days exploring different regions of the park, encountering a range of animals, from large herbivores like giraffes and gazelles to the predators that stalk them.

The Serengeti’s landscape is one of the most iconic in the world, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take in its beauty. You may have the chance to witness the dramatic predator-prey interactions as lions, leopards, and cheetahs hunt their prey across the plains.
