Tour - 6 days

An unforgettable encounter with African nature.

A must-visit destination for lovers of wide-open spaces and wildlife, Tanzania is a land of contrasts where nature reigns supreme. This tour takes you through its most stunning northern national parks, from Lake Manyara, a lush haven known for its flamingos and tree-climbing lions, to the Serengeti, sanctuary of the Great Migration and home to the Big Five, passing through the Ngorongoro Crater, a one-of-a-kind caldera sheltering an extraordinary array of wildlife.

Each day, experience unforgettable safaris, crossing diverse landscapes—golden savannas, acacia-lined rivers, and shimmering lakes. You’ll have the chance to observe lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, and black rhinos in their natural habitat.

This journey is a full immersion into the legendary landscapes of East Africa, blending moments of awe, close encounters with wildlife, and thrilling adventures in Tanzania’s most iconic national parks.

Good to know

In general, Tanzania safaris are performed by a 7 person 4x4 with pop-up roof. The pop-up roof opens 50cm high in order to allow all passengers to view wildlife optimally and safely. Planning a travel bag rather than a suitcase and a backpack for the day and travel light! Remember: on domestic flights baggage is restricted to 15kg.

Please be informed that effective 01June 2019 all plastic bags will be banned in Tanzania. Manufacture, using or importation of plastic bags, including garbage bags and shopping bags will be illegal and tourists may face very heavy fines when using/importing plastic bags in their checked in luggage, cabin bags or carry-ons such as duty free articles wrapped in designated plastic bags. The transparent “zip-lock” plastic bags for keeping small liquids, cosmetics/toiletries are also not permitted. Please remember: non-conformity to these rules may lead to heavy fines.

Hotels & Meals

One of Tanzania's, and other parts of eastern Africa's, most common cultural dishes is Ugali. It is usually composed of corn and is similar in consistency to a stiff paste or porridge, giving it its second name of corn meal porridge. Mixtures of cassava and millet flours are locally used for ugali. Rice and cooked green bananas are also important staples. Beef, goat meat, beans, yoghurt and a wide range of fish and green leafy vegetables all add nutrients to the dishes.
