Overview

Ultimate Tanzania Safari

Our longest pure-safari route, and the one that gives every place its due: two nights in the Serengeti with a full day on the plains, and a whole day inside the Ngorongoro Crater rather than a morning.

From the rainforest of the crater rim to the baobabs of Tarangire and the open grassland of the Serengeti, the landscape changes almost daily. Nights are in lodges or tented camps chosen for where they sit.

    Day 03A full day in the Serengeti

    A full day out on the plains. Your guide follows the wildlife activity rather than a fixed route, so the day might be spent with lions, at a waterhole, or among the herds. Picnic lunch in the park, and a quieter afternoon that is often the best time for photographs.
