Join us on an amazing safari adventure that will take you through Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Eyasi and Tarangire national parks.
Your adventure begins as you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you’ll be greeted and transferred to the serene town of Arusha. Visit Arusha National Park, a gem teeming with wildlife and dramatic landscapes. Marvel at the towering Mount Meru, shimmering Momela Lakes, and the awe-inspiring Ngurdoto Crater. The park’s diverse wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, and the elusive leopards, sets the stage for the adventures to come.
From here, the tour takes you to the magical Lake Manyara National Park, nestled between the Rift Valley escarpment and the soda-rich waters of Lake Manyara. Look out for tree-climbing lions, baboons, and majestic elephants as you traverse this unique landscape.
A stop at the ethereal Lake Natron offers a serene yet wild escape. Known for its vivid colors and as a breeding ground for flamingos, the lake is surrounded by dramatic scenery. Explore the nearby waterfalls and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of this remote paradise.
Next, journey into the heart of Tanzania’s wilderness—the legendary Serengeti National Park. Experience the magic of sunrise game drives and witness the incredible spectacle of the Great Migration (season-dependent), where millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles traverse the savannah in search of greener pastures. Encounter big cats, elephants, and the recently reintroduced rhinos as you traverse the vast plains.
The adventure continues at the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, home to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. This Unesco World Heritage Site is a natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife, from lions to flamingos, all thriving in its unique ecosystem.
Finally, explore the stunning Tarangire National Park, renowned for its majestic baobab trees and enormous herds of elephants. As the Tarangire River attracts a diverse range of wildlife, you’ll witness captivating predator-prey interactions and some of Tanzania’s rarest species, including the elusive oryx.
This tour will not only show you the prime wildlife game parks and reserves but also offers a rare chance to experience the cultural part of Africa. Get closer to the only remaining hunter gatherer tribes of the Hadzabe and Datoga people who still make a living from hunting small wild animals and gathering of wild fruits.

The Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtakingly beautiful setting and the best place in Tanzania to see the Big Five. However, as one of the world's most astonishing and renowned natural wonders, the Ngorongoro Crater does get busy, and at times very busy. Due to the crowds we recommend a two-night stay only here, then moving on to the Serengeti for a quieter, more private safari experience.
The crater and surrounding highlands together form one of Africa's most beautiful regions. Volcanic craters form stunning backdrops to some of the most fertile and richest grazing grounds in Africa. The most famous such crater is without question Ngorongoro, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and home to the highest density of big game in Africa, including all the big five and plenty of predators. Ngorongoro is justifiably one of the continent's most famous safari destinations.
Any Northern Tanzania Safari should ideally include a visit to the Serengeti: it is one of the most beautiful natural wildlife safari sites in the world, home to the Great Migration, and an exceptional place to interact with people from the Maasai tribe.

The Great Wildebeest Migration
The great Serengeti wildebeest migration is the movement of vast numbers of the Serengeti's wildebeest, accompanied by large numbers of zebra, and smaller numbers of Grant's gazelle, Thompson's gazelle, eland and impala. These move in an annual pattern which is fairly predictable. They migrate throughout the year, constantly seeking fresh grazing lands and it's now thought that they are looking for better quality water.
Witness one of the world's most stunning natural spectacles - the Great Migration! Hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebras make their way across the Serengeti every year, in a breath-taking spectacle of beauty and savagery. During this special 7-days game drives and safari trip you will spend four full days in the Serengeti National Park, probably the world's best safari park, observing this incredible journey.
You will also have 1 cultural tour with the Hadzabe people, and learn about their way of living, including meeting the bushmen. Aside from Serengeti we will also spend one full day in the famous Ngorongoro Crater, famous for its dense wildlife population.
