9 Days Classic Tanzania Safari

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be transferred to your booked hotel in Arusha where you will spend the rest of the day relaxing.

After breakfast, we depart for Tarangire National Park which runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor.

It is famed for the largest elephant herds in Africa, the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, and Ashy Starlings. The journey takes 3hours. Enjoy the game drives till late evening and head to your lodge for dinner and overnight.

After having an early breakfast, you will spend another day exploring Tarangire National Park on game drives. Tarangire’s grassy plains are dotted with massive baobab trees and home to a high concentration of area wildlife.

Elephants are especially abundant here, with some herds numbering up to 300 strong. Seek out large herds of zebras, giraffes, and wildebeest, as well as the skulking leopards and cheetahs that prey on them.

The park is also home to around 550 species of birds, including dazzling Yellow-collared lovebirds and the world’s largest avian species, the stocking-thighed ostrich.

After breakfast, transfer from L. Tarangire NP to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to your lodge, perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.

Then embark on a safari through this green-walled wildlife paradise. Ride past herds of zebra grazing next to flamingos and crowned cranes, look for lionesses stalking their prey and try to spot the rare black rhino.

Return to the lodge for an afternoon at leisure and catch a dazzling sunset over the caldera. This afternoon, settle into your lodge, perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.

Have an early breakfast the next morning and embark on the game drives in the park for a full day.

In the morning after breakfast, Fly to the vast plains of the Serengeti and check in to your booked accommodation. In the afternoon after lunch, set out on safari till the sun goes down and return to your accommodation for dinner and rest.

After having breakfast, head out for a morning game viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, a great option for viewing lions, gazelles, topis, ostriches, and cheetah sightings.

Enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch before heading to the Kopjes Circuit, around the Maasai Kopjes, which usually attract a number of lions and some formidably large cobras. After the sunset, drive back to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Rise early for a beautiful set bush breakfast followed by a private game drive. After time at leisure, head out on a final afternoon safari on the lookout for jackals, wildebeests, zebras, and big cats.

Fly/drive to Arusha and relax at your hotel before catching your flight home this evening. The drive-by road takes 6-7 hours.
