Join a 10-day Tanzania safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara. Enjoy epic wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable memories.

What to See – Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Manyara Highlights:

Tarangire National Park is famous for its giant baobab trees and large herds of elephants. It’s a park with great diversity, where you can encounter a wide range of wildlife, including lions, leopards, giraffes, wildebeests, and zebras. The park is also home to over 500 bird species, making it a haven for birdwatchers. Tarangire offers a quieter safari experience compared to other parks, allowing for intimate wildlife encounters in a spectacular setting.

Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most incredible wildlife areas on earth. The floor of the crater is a rich ecosystem that hosts the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos—in large concentrations. The crater lake, which is home to flamingos and other bird species, adds to the park’s picturesque beauty. With its lush grasslands and forested regions, Ngorongoro is a perfect place to spot wildlife year-round.

Serengeti National Park is perhaps the most famous wildlife destination in the world. Known for its Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the plains, the Serengeti is also home to the Big Five and a wide array of other predators such as cheetahs, hyenas, and leopards. Whether you're visiting during the Great Migration or in another season, the Serengeti provides a dynamic and ever-changing safari experience. The park is also renowned for its incredible birdlife, including vultures, eagles, and ostriches.

Lake Manyara National Park, though small, offers a diverse range of ecosystems, including savannah, woodlands, and wetlands. The park is known for its tree-climbing lions, an unusual behavior rarely seen in other regions. Alongside these lions, you’ll also find elephants, giraffes, zebras, and buffaloes. Flamingos often gather in large numbers around the lake, making for a colorful spectacle. The park is also a great place to spot a variety of bird species, making it a must-visit for bird lovers.

How to Dress on Safari:

When preparing for a safari, comfort and practicality are key. Opt for neutral-colored clothing such as khaki, brown, or green. These colors blend well with the environment and help you avoid attracting insects. Light, breathable clothing is recommended for the daytime heat, but bring a fleece or light jacket for the cooler mornings and evenings, especially in higher-altitude areas like Ngorongoro Crater.

For footwear, make sure to wear comfortable closed shoes or hiking boots, as these will help on uneven terrain during game drives and optional nature walks. Accessories such as a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are essential to protect yourself from the sun. If you're traveling during the green season (November - May), a light rain jacket is a good idea, as the region can experience occasional showers.

What to Carry on Safari: Here are the essential items to bring along for your safari adventure:

1. Binoculars for a closer look at wildlife and birds.
2. A camera with extra batteries and memory cards to capture the incredible wildlife and scenery.
3. A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day.
4. Insect repellent to protect against bites from mosquitoes and other insects.
5. Personal medications and a basic first aid kit for any minor injuries or health concerns.
6. A small backpack to keep your daily essentials, such as snacks, camera, sunscreen, and binoculars, close at hand.

Best Time to Travel & Safari Seasons:

Tanzania is a year-round destination for safaris, but the best time to visit depends on your preferences and what you want to experience.

Dry Season (June - October): This is the peak safari season, when animals congregate around water sources, making wildlife sightings easier and more predictable. It’s the best time to visit the Serengeti to witness the Great Migration. During this time, the weather is dry with clear skies, and the visibility is excellent for photography.

Green Season (November - May): The green season is ideal for those who want to see the landscape in full bloom. It’s also the best time for birdwatching, as migratory species arrive in the region. January to March is the calving season in the Serengeti, a time when wildebeest give birth and predators follow closely behind. The green season also offers fewer tourists, meaning a quieter and more intimate safari experience at lower prices.

The 10-day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara provides an exceptional opportunity to experience the diversity of Tanzania’s wildlife and stunning landscapes. Whether you’re looking to witness the Great Migration, observe the Big Five, or explore the lush green landscapes, this safari will leave you with lasting memories of your time in Tanzania.
