7-Day Tanzania Adventure Safari

Day 1: Kilimanjaro International Airport / Namanga - Transfer to Arusha

You will be picked up from the airport at either Kilimanjaro International Airport, Arusha Airport, or Namanga border by our company representative. They will drive you to your accommodation in Arusha, about a one-hour drive. Here you will stay overnight at the lodge.

Day 2: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, your safari guide will collect you from your accommodation and drive you to Tarangire National Park (approximately 2 hours away). Tarangire is best known for its elephant families, savannah, iconic baobab trees, seasonal swamps, and the life-giving Tarangire River. Animals gather at the river, and giraffes, bushbuck, and hartebeest are often seen. The park is also home to buffalo, zebra, and wildebeest. You will enjoy a picnic lunch in the park with a delicious lunch and soft drinks. After a full day in the park, you will drive to your accommodation, where you will be able to relax, and enjoy dinner and your overnight stay at the lodge.

Day 3: Karatu to Lake Manyara National Park

After breakfast, you will pick a lunch box from your accommodation and continue to this epic safari destination, Lake Manyara National Park. This is a relatively small but diverse park, 120km west of Arusha. The park’s namesake is a shallow salt lake. It covers a large park area, flooding and drying with the seasons. It is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. On your exploration of the park, you will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalos, elephants, and, with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes, open not only grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab-dotted cliffs. After a further game drive, you will drive straight to your accommodation in Karatu for dinner and your overnight stay at the lodge.

Day 4: Lake Manyara National Park to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will continue towards the fertile highlands where the Iraqw people grow wheat, coffee, and corn. Passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you will see the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater before traveling onwards to the Serengeti National Park, with a picnic lunch taken on the way. You will reach Serengeti by the afternoon. The Serengeti National Park is the largest park in Tanzania, with diverse landscapes and habitats such as grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannah, and mountains. After an extensive game drive, you will drive to your accommodation, where you will enjoy dinner and your overnight stay at the lodge.

Day 5: Serengeti National Park - full day

You will spend a whole day exploring the park, its animals, and the incredible landscapes on this endless plain. The Serengeti is the habitat for abundant wildlife, such as impalas, buffaloes, crocodiles, and hippos. Still, it is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebras and wildebeest (depending on their location and time of your trip). The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. Apart from the migrating herds, you may see predators such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Day 6: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

After an early breakfast, you will head out for an en-route game drive through the Serengeti. You might be able to spot animals before embarking on your journey to Ngorongoro Crater. This UNESCO World Heritage Site formed millions of years ago, is 600m deep and covers roughly 260sq km. Due to its dense animal population of approximately 25 000, the crater offers the best game viewing of all the parks in Tanzania. You will arrive at the crater rim before lunch. You will descend into the crater, and in a matter of minutes, you will be able to see wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, elephants, and some of more than 500 bird species in the area. With a little luck, you might catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass. After having a picnic lunch which will be carried from your accommodation in Serengeti, you will have a whole afternoon inside the crater. After that, you will head to your accommodation in Karatu for dinner and your overnight stay at the lodge.

Day :7 Karatu to Arusha

After breakfast, you will drive back to Arusha for your onward destination at either Zanzibar or back home. We will work with your plan according to your update as you share it with us. You will have enough time to shop for gratuities.

End of safari.
