7-Days Tanzania Safari Adventure: Discover Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire Wonders

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport where your experienced guide will meet you. Transfer to your hotel in Arusha, a vibrant city at the gateway to Tanzania’s safari circuit. Take time to relax, freshen up, and prepare for your adventure. Depending on your arrival time, you may explore the local markets or visit the Cultural Heritage Centre to see Tanzanian arts and crafts. Enjoy a welcome dinner featuring traditional dishes like ugali and nyama choma.

After an early breakfast, drive approximately 2 hours to Tarangire National Park, famed for its large elephant population and iconic baobab trees that dot the landscape. Embark on a full-day game drive in this lesser-visited gem, where you can spot lions, giraffes, zebras, and diverse bird species such as the vibrant lilac-breasted roller. Learn from your guide about the park’s unique ecosystem, seasonal migrations, and conservation challenges. Relax in the afternoon at your lodge nestled near the park’s boundary, enjoying panoramic views.

Enjoy breakfast before departing to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (around 3 hours’ drive). Check into your lodge perched on the crater rim, offering breathtaking vistas over the vast caldera below. In the afternoon, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive through one of Africa’s most renowned wildlife habitats. See endangered black rhinos, lions, hippos lounging in the crater’s waterholes, and large flocks of flamingos at the soda lake. Discover how the Maasai community coexists with wildlife in this unique biosphere reserve. Return to your lodge for dinner under the stars

After breakfast, embark on a scenic 4-5 hour drive to Serengeti National Park, Tanzania’s flagship wildlife sanctuary. Along the way, stop for a picnic lunch and visit local communities to learn about their livelihoods and conservation efforts. Arrive in time for an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti’s open plains. Witness herds of wildebeest and zebras, graceful giraffes, and stalking predators like lions and cheetahs. Settle into your tented camp or lodge surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

Spend two full days exploring different Serengeti regions on morning and afternoon game drives. Visit the Seronera area, known for high concentrations of lions and leopards, and the remote northern plains if the timing coincides with the Great Migration.

Learn from your guide about predator behavior, herbivore ecology, and ongoing conservation projects. Optional hot air balloon safari at dawn offers a spectacular aerial view of the wildlife below (advance booking and additional cost required). Evenings are perfect for relaxing by the campfire and sharing stories with fellow travelers.
