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.
A really excellent trip. In just over a week we had game drives in several different environments (forest, open plains, the Ngorongoro Crater) and had some truly magical experiences. Visiting the Olduvai Gorge to learn about humans' early ancestors was a moving experience. Our visit to a Maasai village helped us to see and understand something of their way of life. We stayed mainly in luxury tented camps (Tortillis Camps), which were spotlessly clean, very comfortable and run by a team of very helpful staff.

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.

In the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro, embark on 8 lively safaris to seek out the elusive “Big 5” – Africa’s “bucket list” of animals. Spend time at the famous farmhouse from Out of Africa and have giraffes eat directly out of your hand. Connect with locals at a bead factory, where single mothers are employed and trained as jewelry artisans. Get a glimpse into the traditions of native communities when you visit with two tribes at Lake Eyasi. From the picturesque savanna in Kenya to the renowned Serengeti in Tanzania, this is the wild Africa of your dreams.
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
This is just one of those trips... if you are considering going then PLEASE do. As a single woman travelling to Africa alone, there were plenty of people that were worried about me coming on this trip. By the time it ended, I was uncontrollably crying that it was over.. I just wanted to start the 11 days all over again. The tour felt very luxurious, all of the food and accomodation was incredible and our guides - for Kenya, and for Tanzania - were the stars of the show. They were so fun, planned everything to the last detail and sat with us for every meal so they just felt like one of the group.
We saw everything we wanted to see and then some - including some very rare sightings from the leopard to the serval cat and porcupine. Our tour guides were true professionals and even put a lot of effort into making sure every animal was shown in the right lighting from a good angle to get the best photo.
I can't recommend this trip highly enough and I hope you have as incredible a time as I did!
This eight-day budget Tanzania Safari has been designed to offer a total Tanzanian northern circuit safari experience! This itinerary gives you more time to spend in the Serengeti National Park and also specifically includes Lake Manyara National Park, one of Tanzania’s most dramatically located wildlife areas, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, home to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. We don’t forget Tarangire National Park, where you’ll see many stunning baobab trees and a wide array of animal and birdlife.
This safari adventure is a great choice for visitors with more time on hand for a longer safari and more wildlife options, while still keeping non-game-viewing travel time to a minimum.
I would rate 5 Star for this Local Company
We had the absolute privilege of booking a safari with Kilisa Tours & Safari, and I can honestly say their service is nothing short of 5-star excellence. From the very first communication to the final day of our trip, the entire experience was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care.
Our guide was incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife and shared insightful knowledge about the animals, landscapes, and cultures. Every game drive was exciting and perfectly paced, and the accommodations selected by Kilisa Tours were comfortable and well-suited to the authentic safari experience.
I would recommend this service to anyone as they deliver not only on organization and expertise but also on creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Excellent experience, action packed with a lot of big 5 sightings! The tour started off in Kenya and then ended in Tanzania. Great guides in both locations who were able to educate while also show us all the birds and animals. Highly recommended!
