7 Day Tanzania Safari

This 7 day Tanzania safari is a private northern-circuit itinerary from Arusha: Tarangire, the Serengeti, and a full-day Ngorongoro Crater safari. You travel in a private 4x4 with a licensed local guide, not a large coach tour. Game drives cover elephants among baobabs, Serengeti plains wildlife, and the crater floor. It is one of our most requested Tanzania safari packages for first-time visitors who want classic parks without a fly-in price. Travel in June–October for dry-season viewing, or January–February if you want a Serengeti migration safari around Ndutu calving. Lodges are mid-range unless you ask us to upgrade. Prefer tented camps? See our luxury Tanzania safari. Want beach time after the bush? Continue on a Tanzania safari and Zanzibar combo.
