Imagine a ‘safari’ in the classic sense – vast stretches of savannah, flat-topped acacia trees silhouetted against deep orange sunsets, thousands of animals streaming across the horizon – this Tanzania Classic Safari is that image made real! Each park offers something unique in wildlife viewing, as well as intimate safari camps and lodges where you can relax each evening. This classic Safari In Tanzania takes you through Tanzania’s ultimate wildlife areas – Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the endless plains of the Serengeti.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) you will be met and transferred to your accommodation to recover from your journey.
Overnight Moshi/Arusha
Travel to Tarangire National Park, taking approximately 3-4 hours. Tarangire is a sanctuary to an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife including lions, leopards, cheetah, and up to six thousand elephants. Enjoy an afternoon game drive.
Overnight Tarangire
After breakfast you will commence your drive to one of the most famous game parks in Africa, the Serengeti, taking approximately 4 hours. Serengeti is home to millions of wildebeest during the migration and over the huge flat plains, you are likely to find lions, cheetah, leopards, hyenas,s, and many other small predators. Your guide will choose the best wildlife viewing locations for the time of year. Spend time at the hippo pool, watching these enormous animals laze about in the cool water alongside the crocodiles, watch a lion stalking its prey, or be staggered by the scale of the great wildebeest migration. The journey from wide, open plains to the kopjes, volcanic rocky outcrops that provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide you with the ultimate in-game viewing.
Overnight Serengeti
An early morning start in the Serengeti to try and find cats before they retreat from the blazing sun during the day. After a few hours of the game, drive travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area where you will spend the night. The Ngorongoro caldera is the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. At approximately 20 kilometers across and 600 meters deep, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breath-taking natural wonder. Ngorongoro Crater is unique in that almost all the wildlife lives within the crater walls; hence you have the opportunity to find the game easily. You’ll want to wake early to make the most of your day exploring the crater, where rhino, in particular, can be seen regularly, as well as the pride of lion and other predators like the cheetah.
Overnight Ngorongoro
This morning you will drive to Lake Manyara, taking around an hour. Described as one of the hidden gems of Tanzania, this park is famous for its tree climbing lions and large herds of elephant, which are not shy to come straight up to the vehicle. After lunch you will drive back to Moshi / Arusha, taking approximately 2-3 hours.
Overnight Moshi/Arusha
Today you will be transferred back to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) in time for your flight.

We spent an incredible 10 days and 9 nights exploring the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area – it was truly a dream come true for us, and a trip we will never, ever forget!
African Scenic Safaris was recommended to us by someone who has gone with them twice over the past several years. We recently returned from a 9-day safari and five days in Zanzibar. From start to finish, our experience with them was great.
My friend and I had an absolutely AMAZING experience with African Scenic! From the fantastic coordination provided by our agent Nembris to the amazing guides on our 7-day Machame trek on Kili Godwin and Gadiel (Double G 😁)
