4-Day Wildlife Safari

A fast-paced introduction to northern Tanzania’s big-name parks: elephant herds and ancient baobabs in Tarangire, flamingos and tree-climbing lions at Lake Manyara, the endless plains of the Serengeti, and a full day exploring the wildlife-packed floor of Ngorongoro Crater in search of the Big Five.

7-Day Wildlife Safari

Our full northern circuit, giving each park the time it deserves — more days in the Serengeti to follow the game, a full crater day in Ngorongoro, and an extension to the otherworldly landscape of Lake Natron beneath the active volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai, where flamingos gather by the thousands.

Mikumi National Park

Tanzania’s fourth-largest national park is often called a "mini-Serengeti" for its wide-open Mkata floodplain, where lion prides, elephant herds, giraffes, zebras and buffalo graze in full view right beside the main road. It’s one of the most accessible parks in the country, making it a great option for a shorter safari or a scenic stop if you’re short on time but still want a genuine Big-Five-country experience, with over 400 bird species for keen birders too.

Lake Manyara National Park

Tucked beneath the dramatic wall of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions and the thousands of flamingos that turn its alkaline shoreline pink. The park packs remarkable variety into a small area — dense groundwater forest alive with blue monkeys and baboons, open grassland herds of wildebeest and buffalo, and the shimmering lake itself. Compact and scenic, it’s a perfect standalone day trip from Arusha or an easy add-on to a longer northern circuit safari.

Great Wildebeest Migration Safari

Priced by season & group size

Follow one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth — over a million wildebeest and zebra moving in a continuous circuit across the Serengeti ecosystem. Your guide tracks the herds' current position (calving grounds, river crossings, or open plains depending on season) to put you in the best place at the right time.

Masai Mara Safari (Kenya)

Priced by season & group size

An extension across the border into Kenya's world-famous Masai Mara — the northern continuation of the same ecosystem as the Serengeti, with some of the highest big-cat densities in Africa. Run in partnership with our trusted Kenya-based safari guide, who takes over at the border to keep every leg of the trip properly licensed and locally led.

Gorilla Trekking (Rwanda)

Price on request — permit-dependent

A once-in-a-lifetime trek to see mountain gorillas in the wild in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park, arranged through our trusted Rwanda-based partner guide who handles permits and leads every trek in full compliance with strict park regulations. A powerful add-on to any Tanzania safari or Kilimanjaro climb, for travelers who want to see both East Africa's plains wildlife and its mountain gorillas in one trip.

Maasai Cultural Experience

Visit a real Maasai boma (homestead) near Arusha or Ngorongoro and spend time with the community that has herded cattle across these plains for centuries. Warriors welcome you with the traditional Adumu jumping dance, elders explain family and cattle traditions, and women demonstrate the beadwork Maasai culture is famous for. You’ll step inside a traditional mud-and-stick home, learn how fire is made the old way, and hear how the Maasai balance modern life with age-old customs. A respectful, authentic encounter — not a staged show — that pairs naturally with a Kilimanjaro trek or Ngorongoro safari.

Jozani Forest, Zanzibar

Jozani Chwaka Bay is Zanzibar’s only national park and the last natural home of the endangered Zanzibar red colobus monkey, found nowhere else on Earth. Guided trails wind through lush groundwater forest where the colobus troops move at close range, followed by a peaceful boardwalk through mangrove swamp alive with crabs, mudskippers and forest birds. It’s an easy half-day trip from Stone Town, and pairs perfectly with a spice tour or a few days relaxing on Zanzibar’s beaches after your mainland safari or trek.

Napuru Waterfalls

A hidden gem close to Arusha, Napuru Waterfalls cascades through a shaded pocket of forest into clear natural swimming pools — a refreshing, easy escape without a long drive. The walk in is gentle and family-friendly, guided by local community guides who know the area well, and there’s time to cool off in the pool beneath the falls before heading back. It’s a relaxed half-day outing, easy to combine with a village walk or a coffee farm visit, and a great option on a rest day between treks or safaris.

Marangu Waterfalls

On the lush southern slopes of Kilimanjaro, the Marangu waterfalls tumble through forest fed by streams straight off the mountain’s glaciers. The trail winds past coffee and banana plantations and traditional Chagga homesteads, with the option to stop at a local home to see how coffee is grown and roasted the traditional way. It’s a scenic, moderate walk with a cool, misty waterfall as the reward at the end — a fantastic half-day trip either before or after a Kilimanjaro climb via Marangu Gate, or as a standalone outing from Moshi or Arusha.
