7 Days Classic Tanzania Safari

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will check in and go through the security checkpoint where officials will check your required documents. Our tour guide will greet you, take your luggage to our transfer vehicle and drive you to Arusha city. On arrival at the hotel, our driver-guide will assist you with the check-in process and the hotel porter will take your luggage to your room. You can relax at the lodge after the long journey.

In the early morning, right after breakfast, our journey begins as you head to Tarangire National Park. The park derives its name from the Tarangire River which courses through its lands. During the dry season, this 'river of warthogs' stands as the sole water source for the region's wildlife. The landscape includes pockets of dense vegetation like elephant grass and acacia woodlands. Particularly renowned for its gatherings of elephant families near the river, the park also offers sightings of giraffes, bushbucks, and hartebeests. These creatures are closely trailed by a variety of predators, such as lions and leopards.

Serengeti National Park in Central Seronera is well known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the "Big Five", named for the 5 most prized trophies taken by hunters. The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. The reclusive leopards are commonly seen in the Seronera area.

After breakfast, go on a game drive in Serengeti National Park. During lunch, your driver will set and prepare the table for the meal of soup. A glass of wine, tea, or coffee will follow this. After lunch, continue with the game drive until the evening, when you'll drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Masai Mara National Reserve across the border in Kenya, protect the greatest and most varied collection of terrestrial wildlife on earth. It is also one of the last great migratory systems still intact. You'll have breakfast at the lodge followed by a game drive in Serengeti National Park, searching for big cats and the "Big Five".

After breakfast, you will depart from the campsite with a picnic lunch and descend into the amazing Ngorongoro Crater. Explore the magnificent world of diversity that lies within, surrounded by the imposing walls that encircle the reserve. It is possible to see all of Africa's "Big Five" within the crater, among a vast array of other wildlife including hundreds of bird species. Enjoy a full day in the crater on a game drive. In the evening, you'll drive to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

Early in the morning, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Lake Manyara provides the perfect introduction to Tanzania’s birdlife. More than 400 species have been recorded, and even a first-time visitor to Africa can reasonably expect to observe 100 of these in one day. Inland of the floodplain, a narrow belt of acacia woodland is the favoured haunt of Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions and impressively tusked elephants. At lunchtime, your driver will set up and prepare a table using the shade of our car, for a full meal, followed by a glass of wine, tea, or coffee.

Depending on your flight schedule and departure point you will be transferred to the airport to connect your flight for further travel.
