This 6-day Tanzania luxury safari is thoughtfully designed for travelers seeking comfort while exploring the most iconic wildlife destinations in northern Tanzania. Guided by local experts and staying in carefully selected luxury lodges or tented camps, you’ll experience the dramatic beauty of Tarangire National Park, the vast plains of the Serengeti, the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater, and the lush landscapes surrounding Lake Manyara. This journey offers a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and connection to nature, all delivered with exceptional service.
Your safari begins with a scenic drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, known for its dense elephant population and towering baobab trees. As you enter the park, the landscape changes dramatically—golden grasslands stretch into the horizon, and the Tarangire River winds through the terrain, drawing in herds of elephants, zebras, wildebeests, and countless bird species. Your guide will take you through prime wildlife areas, where chances are high to spot lions resting under the acacias and leopards hiding in the branches. After a fulfilling game drive, you’ll check in at your luxury lodge nestled within or near the park, where you can enjoy the peaceful sounds of the African bush.
After breakfast, you’ll journey north through the highlands toward the world-renowned Serengeti. The route itself is a treat, offering views of Maasai villages and the stunning Ngorongoro highlands. Upon entering the Serengeti, the vastness of the savannah comes into view, stretching as far as the eye can see. Wildlife sightings begin almost immediately, with giraffes grazing in the distance and prides of lions often spotted near the road. In the afternoon, your guide will take you on a game drive across this endless plain, home to the Big Five and the Great Wildebeest Migration (depending on the season). You’ll spend the night in a luxurious tented camp, where nature meets comfort and elegance.
Today is dedicated to exploring the heart of the Serengeti. With a full day of game drives, you’ll have time to visit different regions of the park based on animal movements and seasonality. Early mornings are ideal for spotting predators on the move—cheetahs scanning the plains, lions returning from a night hunt, and hyenas patrolling their territory. As the sun rises, herds of antelopes, elephants, and buffalos can be seen scattered across the plains. Your experienced guide will share insights into animal behavior and ecosystems while ensuring you are in the right places at the right times. A picnic lunch out in the bush keeps you immersed in the wild, before heading back to your camp in the evening.
After a relaxed breakfast, you’ll begin the drive toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, passing through the central Serengeti one last time for wildlife sightings. Along the way, you may stop at a Maasai boma to learn about the traditions and way of life of this semi-nomadic tribe. As you approach the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, the air becomes cooler, and the scenery transforms into lush, green hills dotted with wildlife and traditional villages. Your accommodation for the night offers breathtaking views over the crater or the surrounding forest, with an inviting fireplace and warm hospitality waiting after your journey.
An early start gives you access to the crater floor during the golden hours of the day. Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater feels like entering a hidden world, home to nearly every species of wildlife found in East Africa. In just a few hours, you can see elephants grazing near the Lerai Forest, lions lounging by the roadside, and possibly even the elusive black rhino. Flamingos line the shores of the lake in the crater, and hippos cool off in the shallows. After approximately four hours of game viewing, you’ll exit the crater and continue to Lake Manyara, where your luxury lodge offers a peaceful retreat with views over the Great Rift Valley.
Your final safari day takes you into Lake Manyara National Park, a small but incredibly diverse park known for its groundwater forest, tree-climbing lions, and large flocks of flamingos. The morning game drive offers one last chance to enjoy Tanzania’s remarkable wildlife before heading back to Arusha. As the journey ends, you’ll carry with you lasting memories of wild encounters, luxurious stays, and the warm hospitality of Kiwoito Africa Safaris.
