Enjoy a 7-day luxury safari exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Experience exclusive accommodations and spectacular wildlife.
What to See:
Tarangire National Park: Known for its stunning landscapes dominated by ancient baobab trees, Tarangire is often considered one of the best parks for elephant sightings, with large herds roaming the park. Aside from elephants, expect to see giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and a variety of antelope species. The park’s rich birdlife includes over 500 bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. The diverse ecosystems of Tarangire, ranging from open savannah to riverine forest, create a wonderful contrast for game viewing and photography.
Serengeti National Park: The Serengeti is world-famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of nature’s most spectacular wildlife events. Witness massive herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles as they traverse the park's vast plains in search of fresh grazing. You may also encounter the Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos), as well as predators like cheetahs, hyenas, and wild dogs. The Serengeti’s endless plains and diverse wildlife offer some of the best game viewing in Africa.
Ngorongoro Crater: As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest unbroken volcanic caldera in the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is a true natural wonder. Its enclosed ecosystem is home to abundant wildlife, including large populations of lions, elephants, buffaloes, and rare black rhinos. The crater’s saltwater lake is often teeming with flamingos, adding vibrant colors to the breathtaking scenery. Ngorongoro is a must-see for wildlife enthusiasts, offering the unique opportunity to see a wide variety of animals in a single, compact area.
Lake Manyara National Park: Lake Manyara is a smaller but highly scenic park known for its lush landscapes, abundant birdlife, and tree-climbing lions. The park is divided into distinct zones, from dense forest and open grasslands to the shallow waters of Lake Manyara itself. The park is a fantastic place to spot flamingos, pelicans, and a variety of other bird species. Additionally, elephants, giraffes, and baboons are frequently seen, making it an excellent park for both wildlife viewing and photography.
How to Dress on Safari:
When going on safari, comfort and practicality are key. To blend with the environment and avoid attracting insects, it’s recommended to wear neutral-colored clothing such as khaki, beige, brown, and green. The weather can vary, so it’s best to bring lightweight, breathable clothing for the warm days, but also pack a fleece or jacket for cooler mornings and evenings. Be sure to wear comfortable closed shoes or hiking boots for game drives and nature walks. For sun protection, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are essential. A light rain jacket can be helpful if traveling during the green season.
What to Carry on Safari:
For an optimal safari experience, make sure to carry a few essentials. Bring binoculars to get a closer view of wildlife, and don’t forget your camera with extra memory cards and batteries to capture those unforgettable moments. A reusable water bottle will help you stay hydrated during your game drives. Insect repellent is important for protection against bites, while personal medications and a basic first aid kit are essential for any emergencies. A small daypack is perfect for carrying your essentials during daily activities.
Best Time to Travel & Safari Seasons: Tanzania offers a fantastic safari experience year-round, but the best times to visit depend on what you're hoping to see:
- Dry Season (June - October): This is the peak safari season and the ideal time for game viewing. As water sources dry up, animals gather in larger concentrations around rivers and waterholes, making them easier to spot. If you're interested in seeing the Great Wildebeest Migration, the dry season is the perfect time, as it coincides with the river crossings in northern Serengeti (July - September).
- Green Season (November - May): While fewer tourists visit during the green season, it offers its own advantages. The landscape is lush and beautiful, and it’s a great time for birdwatching, as migratory species arrive in large numbers. The calving season in the Serengeti (January - March) provides excellent opportunities to witness newborn animals and predators hunting them, creating thrilling wildlife interactions.
