Experience a 7-day Tanzania safari exploring Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro. Encounter diverse wildlife, scenic landscapes, and thrilling adventures.

What to See:

Tarangire National Park: Tarangire is an extraordinary destination, renowned for its elephant herds that often form the heart of the park's iconic landscape. The park is also home to ancient baobab trees, which create an otherworldly backdrop for game drives. Along with elephants, you'll encounter a variety of other wildlife, including lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and over 500 bird species, making it a paradise for wildlife photographers and birdwatchers alike.

Serengeti National Park: Known worldwide for the Great Migration, the Serengeti offers one of the most spectacular wildlife events on Earth. From July to September, thousands of wildebeest and zebras journey across the Serengeti's expansive plains in search of food and water, crossing perilous rivers teeming with crocodiles. Even when the migration isn't happening, Serengeti’s vast plains are home to the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. In addition, you may spot cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, and a wide variety of birdlife.

Ngorongoro Crater: The Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most famous natural wonders. Often referred to as the "Garden of Eden", it’s an enclosed ecosystem that hosts an extraordinary concentration of wildlife. The crater’s rich, green plains and lakes offer excellent opportunities for spotting black rhinos, prides of lions, flamingos at the crater lake, and a host of other species, all thriving in this natural amphitheater.

Best Time to Travel & Safari Seasons:

Tanzania offers exceptional safari experiences year-round, but the timing of your trip can make a big difference. Each season offers its own unique experiences, depending on the wildlife events, landscapes, and atmosphere you prefer.

Dry Season (June - October) – Peak Safari Season

The dry season is the best time for wildlife viewing, as animals tend to gather around water sources, making it easier to spot them. This period also aligns with the Great Migration, which takes place mainly from July to September, with thrilling river crossings in the northern Serengeti. The weather during this time is typically clear, with warm days and cooler mornings and evenings. The dry season is ideal for those who want to see large herds of animals and enjoy consistent, sunny weather.

Green Season (November - May) – Lush Landscapes & Fewer Crowds:

If you prefer fewer tourists, lush landscapes, and lower safari prices, the green season is an excellent time to visit. The rains transform the landscape into a vibrant green paradise, perfect for birdwatching as migratory species arrive. The calving season, particularly between January and March, attracts predators such as lions and cheetahs, as they hunt newborns. While there are more afternoon showers during the green season, the peaceful atmosphere and dramatic scenery make it a rewarding time to visit.
