Classic Tanzania Safari

Safari summary

The 6 Days Classic Tanzania Safari is one of the best ways to explore the famous Northern Circuit, home to the most iconic national parks in Africa. This safari is designed for travelers who want to experience the Big 5—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—while also enjoying breathtaking landscapes and rich cultures. With a mix of game drives, scenic views, and comfortable stays, this journey gives you the real taste of Tanzania’s wilderness.

Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, a land of giant baobab trees and large elephant herds. Tarangire is sometimes called the "home of elephants" because of the huge numbers that gather around the Tarangire River. During your first game drive, you will have the chance to see lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and many bird species. The beauty of Tarangire is that it feels less crowded, so you can enjoy nature in peace while still seeing incredible wildlife.

From there, the safari takes you to the legendary Serengeti National Park. This park is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Serengeti is known worldwide for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the plains in search of fresh grass. Depending on the season of your visit, you may witness this dramatic spectacle. The park is also home to the largest concentration of predators in Africa, making it one of the best places to see lions, cheetahs, and leopards hunting in action.

You will spend multiple days in the Serengeti to allow enough time for game drives and to fully appreciate its vastness. The endless plains stretch as far as the eye can see, creating postcard-perfect views. Sunrise and sunset in the Serengeti are experiences you will never forget. With the sound of wildlife in the distance and the open African sky above, the Serengeti will leave you with lifelong memories.

After exploring the Serengeti, the journey continues to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. This natural wonder is the largest intact volcanic caldera on Earth and is often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” Inside the crater, the ecosystem is so rich that almost every species found in East Africa can be seen here. The crater is one of the few places in Tanzania where you can see the endangered black rhino. Along with rhinos, you can expect to spot hippos, wildebeest, lions, elephants, buffalo, flamingos, and more. Game drives here offer some of the best chances to see the Big 5 all in one day.

From Ngorongoro, your safari takes you to the beautiful Lake Manyara National Park, a small but diverse park that offers a completely different experience. Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions, which are rare to see in other places. The lake itself attracts thousands of pink flamingos, creating a colorful and picturesque scene. Other wildlife includes elephants, giraffes, baboons, hippos, and over 400 species of birds, making it a paradise for bird lovers. The park is set against the backdrop of the Rift Valley escarpment, adding to its natural beauty.

Throughout the safari, you will enjoy comfortable lodges and camps that bring you close to nature without losing comfort. Each night, you can relax and reflect on the day’s adventures while enjoying delicious meals and warm hospitality. Your professional safari guide will ensure that you have the best possible experience, sharing knowledge about wildlife, culture, and Tanzania’s history.

This 6-day Tanzania safari is perfect for families, couples, honeymooners, or solo travelers who want to experience the heart of Africa. It combines the most famous parks—Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara—into one unforgettable journey. Whether your dream is to see the Big 5, witness the Great Migration, or simply explore the wild beauty of Africa, this safari will give you everything you are looking for.

By the end of your safari, you will have seen a wide variety of animals, explored diverse landscapes, and created unforgettable memories. From the giant elephants of Tarangire, to the lions hunting in Serengeti, to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara, this trip offers the true spirit of Tanzania.

The 6 Days Classic Tanzania Safari is not just about wildlife—it is about connecting with nature, experiencing the rhythm of the wild, and taking home stories that will last a lifetime.
