A 6-day luxury safari through Tanzania’s iconic parks—Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Expect premium accommodations and exceptional wildlife experiences.
What to See: The 6-day safari brings you to three of Tanzania's most famous national parks, each known for its unique ecosystems and wildlife encounters.
- Tarangire National Park: Known for its spectacular baobab trees and large herds of elephants, Tarangire is a fantastic destination for wildlife lovers. On your game drives, you’ll likely encounter elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, and leopards, while bird watchers will delight in the over 500 species of birds that call this park home. The park is especially popular during the dry season, when animals converge around the Tarangire River.
- Serengeti National Park: The Serengeti is one of the most iconic safari destinations in the world, and a visit during the Great Migration season will leave you speechless. From July to October, you can witness thousands of wildebeest and zebras crossing rivers in a dramatic display of nature’s raw power. In addition to the migration, the Serengeti offers a chance to see the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—alongside cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of birds.
- Ngorongoro Crater: This UNESCO World Heritage Site is often referred to as the “Garden of Eden” due to its incredible biodiversity. As you descend into the crater, you’ll be surrounded by an abundance of wildlife, including black rhinos, lions, wildebeests, zebras, and flamingos that populate the crater lakes. It’s one of the best places in Africa to see predators in action, as well as large herds of herbivores.
How to Dress on Safari: For your luxury safari, comfort and practicality are essential, especially when you’re spending long hours on game drives. Here’s how to dress appropriately:
- Neutral-colored clothing in shades of khaki, green, and brown will help you blend into the surroundings and avoid attracting insects.
- Light, breathable fabrics are perfect for the daytime heat, while a light fleece or jacket will keep you warm during early mornings and evenings.
- Comfortable closed shoes or hiking boots are ideal for game drives and optional walking safaris.
- A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen will protect you from the sun.
- If you're visiting during the green season, a light rain jacket is recommended for the occasional shower.
What to Carry on Safari: Make sure to pack the essentials to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable safari experience:
- Binoculars to get a closer look at wildlife.
- A camera with plenty of batteries and memory cards to capture your moments in the wild.
- A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
- Insect repellent to protect against mosquito bites.
- Personal medications and a basic first aid kit for peace of mind.
- A small daypack for carrying your essentials during game drives, including sunscreen, snacks, and extra layers.
Best Time to Travel & Safari Seasons: Tanzania offers exceptional safari experiences year-round, but the timing of your visit can enhance your experience.
- Dry Season (June - October): The dry season is the peak safari season, with ideal conditions for wildlife viewing. As animals congregate around water sources, game viewing becomes easier, and you’ll have the chance to witness the Great Migration in the northern Serengeti. The clear skies and fewer mosquitoes make this the perfect time for a safari. This is also the best time for game viewing in Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater.
- Green Season (November - May): While the green season is the wetter time of year, it’s still a great time to visit, especially if you enjoy lush landscapes and fewer tourists. The calving season in the Serengeti (January - March) is a highlight, as newborn wildebeest attract predators. Bird watching is exceptional, as migratory species return to the parks. This season offers a more tranquil safari experience at a lower cost, and the park’s landscapes are at their most vibrant.
