Join us on this 6-day Tanzania safari trip and explore some of the most popular national parks in Africa. Visit Serengeti National Park, famous for the annual migration of more than one and a half million wildebeests. Travel to Lake Manyara National Park and see its famous tree-climbing lions.
The size of Lake Manyara makes it perfect for a one-day game drive. However, the national park is also known as being close to the Ngorongoro Crater. This trip also includes a visit to a Maasai boma (village), the Mto wa Mbu Village and the Olduvai Gorge, an important paleoanthropological site that has provided invaluable information to the understanding of human evolution.
End your safari trip at Tarangire National Park, which features some of the highest concentrations of animals in Tanzania ( this national park is second only to the Ngorongoro Crater area when it comes to the number and variety of animals) but is less crowded than other popular safari destinations.
This holiday delivered on every front. We saw so much wildlife and enjoyed the variety of parks and environments. We were very lucky in having a small group and this added to the enjoyment. The Tortilis camps are fabulous and on 2 occasions catered for only 4 guests eight 18 staff. The tents are wonderful and met all our needs. However our fellow guests did experience issues with hot water for their shower on several occasions but staff did endeavour to resolve the issue each time.
Hamse, our guide, was great and also helped us arrange an air balloon trip over the Serengeti which enhanced the overall trip.

This was an excellent Safari. The Tour was as described for style and is not for the faint hearted. We observed all of the animals and birdlife you could wish for. This was a real adventure and both my Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The itinery could do with an update although in the grand scheme of things would not have made much difference.

The tour is very complete and the people has been amazing. However, I strongly recommend to improve the support for people with allergy/ dietary requirements. In my case I have coeliac disease and I felt not supported at all. The CEOs or hotels where not aware of my diet and most of the times I could not eat or I struggled to find safe food. While the rest of the group was having food together I had myself to speak with each cook, hotel and staff without the help of CEOs. I asked several times before joining the trip but even so it was difficult and I would have appreciated that hotels and CEOs were more supportive.
This six-day, guided trip to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara National Park is for travelers with a passion for wildlife who want to explore some of the most spectacular national parks in Tanzania's northern circuit.
We will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha and proceed to Tarangire National Park, home to Tanzania’s largest elephant population. The elephants are drawn to the Tarangire River from which the park gets its name. In addition to these large elephant herds, the park’s distinctive landscape is dotted with beautiful baobab trees and it has one of the greatest concentrations of game in Tanzania.
Next comes the iconic Serengeti, Tanzania’s most famous national park known throughout the world for its annual wildebeest migration. Then head for Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a natural wonder that is also one of the best places in the country to see the endangered black rhinoceros and is home to the Big Five.
The final destination on the itinerary is Lake Manyara National Park, where you will go out on a game drive as well as explore the surrounding villages. We will drive you back to Arusha after the tour is over.
The tour was an excellent balance between visiting the local people, local culture, and the game drives. I felt very privileged and honored to experience the hospitality and unique culture of Kenya and Tanzania.
Admire the sweeping landscapes of Tanzania – full of incredible wildlife and fascinating cultures – on this 12-day adventure. From the pristine beaches of Zanzibar across the lush slopes of the Usambara Mountains and through the savannas of Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, discover a land where elephants roam, lions hunt and communities embrace the land. This is the heart of Africa – a land for the true explorer. When will you go in search of the Big Five?
Had such a great time with good people, we saw so much in 4 days, loved our guide Tumain, he was very informative and really gave it all to ensure we had a good experience
Get an unparalleled access to some of Tanzania's most famous wildlife reserves during this four-day, guided tour. Drive to Tarangire National Park on the first day of this tour and enjoy a game drive in the national park. Your next destination is Serengeti National Park, where herds of wildebeests roam and lions and leopards are on the prowl. Done with Serengeti, you will then head for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the final destination on your itinerary.
Your accommodation during this trip will mostly be in modern, large, two-men tents with a sewn-in ground sheet covered with a comfortable foam mattress. Please note that a table, chairs and mats are provided along with the tent, but sleeping bags, blankets, sheets and towels are not included.
Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect as safari tours seem expensive, and I kept wondering if it would really be worth the cost. But it absolutely was. From the first day I knew I’d made the right choice. Every game drive felt like a new adventure. One morning we watched a group of baby elephants playing in the dust while their mothers stood nearby. Later, we spotted a hippo yawning near a watering hole. So close we could see its giant teeth! And the sunsets? Incredible.
Our guide was excellent. He was friendly & funny. The group dynamic was easy and fun. We had a mix of people: a couple celebrating their anniversary, a solo traveler from NY, and me with a close friend. It never felt awkward or too crowded.
You don’t need to be super fit for this tour. Everything is done at a relaxed pace and was very accessible, even for folks who aren’t used to rugged travel.
If Tanzania is on your list, my advice is that you don’t overthink it. Just go. It’s 100% worth it.
Whether you’re watching a sombre silverback gorilla in his natural habitat, descending 600 metres to the floor of the volcanic Ngorongoro Crater or spend time with a Hadzabe community in Tanzania, this 18-day tour offers opportunities to create travel memories most people only dream of. Journey through Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania in search of some of the world’s most mythologised animals. Along the way, meet locals and gain an understanding of the diversity of cultures in East Africa – from the Maasai tribes people to villagers on the outskirts of Queen Elizabeth National Park and the hip working class residents of Kigali’s Nyamirambo neighbourhood.
There’s a lot to consider when choosing a tour operator. Nat Geo has never let me down. Our family trip to Tanzania was no acceptation. The accommodations are always excellent. The guides are the best of the best.
