A Tanzania safari offers some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife experiences. Home to the famous Serengeti National Park, Tanzania is known for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeests and zebras cross vast plains in search of greener pastures. It’s an incredible spectacle and a must-see for nature enthusiasts.
Another highlight is Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest volcanic caldera. It’s a haven for wildlife, including lions, elephants, and rhinos, all set against a breathtaking backdrop of towering crater walls. The crater offers one of the best chances to spot the “Big Five” in one day.
Tanzania also boasts Tarangire National Park, known for its giant baobab trees and large elephant populations. For those seeking a more remote experience, Ruaha National Park offers wild landscapes with fewer tourists. Whether it’s witnessing the migration or exploring off-the-beaten-path parks, a Tanzania safari promises unforgettable adventures.
Your tour begins in Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania’s world-renowned Northern Safari Circuit. It takes about 3 hours to drive west from Arusha to Tarangire National Park’s Northern Gate.
You’ll embark on a full-day game drive around the park. If you prefer a more intimate encounter, you can also go on a walking safari.
Dinner and overnight at Karatu
You have now begun your amazing four-hour ride from Karatu to Seronera (Central Serengeti). After about 2 hours, you’ll reach the Serengeti entrance gates, where the real adventure begins.
You will spend the remainder of day 2, all of day 3, and the beginning of day 4 in the Serengeti.
A balloon safari is another popular activity in the Serengeti, in addition to game drives through the open plains. Serengeti balloon safaris (usually $450-550 per person) start before daybreak and provide a bird’s-eye view of the savannah.
They are pricey, but the experiences are truly unforgettable. Where else can you glide freely above Africa’s wilds, possibly witnessing the big migration from the air?
Dinner and overnight at Serengeti
In the early hours of the day, you will travel past expansive forests along the crater rim before starting your thrilling 2,000-meter descent into the Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro Crater is unlike any other place on Earth, with towering crater walls encircling a barren plain.
It seemed to me that I had ventured into a lost world with an incredible variety of animals and environments.
You’ll spend the early hours on a game drive in the crater, followed by lunch on the banks of Lake Magadi, a big alkaline lake inhabited by flamingos and hippos.
In the afternoon, you will ascend the crater and visit a Maasai settlement to observe their famed jumping dance and learn more about their distinct culture.
You will also go on a guided walk with the Maasai around the crater rim, where you will be rewarded with breathtaking vistas and learn about the Maasai’s strong relationship to the crater.
