Tanzania Wildlife Safaris: Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire

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.
