7-Day Luxury Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari

Welcome to Tanzania! We meet you at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer you to Ngare Sero Mountain Lodge for a comfortable start to your premium safari adventure.

You've been dreaming of your Tanzanian safari for so long and the day when it begins has finally arrived. We'll greet you, give you a quick rundown on what happens next and answer your questions. Then we'll take you out to discover what this incredible country has to offer.

Spend some time in Arusha, both the gateway city for most safaris in northern Tanzania and a fascinating place to explore. Enjoy good restaurants, streets filled with energy and so many snapshots of vibrant Tanzanian city life. It's everything you look for in an urban pit stop.

Wherever you go in Tarangire National Park, you'll come across the park's famous and larger-than-life baobab trees and elephants. These are the twin elements that give this park so much personality.

There is, of course, so much more than just baobabs and elephants. We don't just mean the huge populations of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras. Or the rugged landscape of rocky hills and rivers, swamps and savannah plains. You also have an excellent chance of seeing lions here – Tarangire is a real lion stronghold – and keep an eye out for leopards and cheetahs as well.

Lake Manyara is one of the most underestimated national parks in Tanzania's northern safari circuit. Everything you'll see here is on a different scale, at once compact and epic.

You'll see plenty of baboons and elephants in the park's thick evergreen forest, and watch for the tree-climbing lions that have become famous throughout Africa. Thanks to the proximity of lake, forest and rock walls, the birdlife will also tease out your inner birder – don't forget your binoculars.

Discover just why so many safari visitors fall in love with the Serengeti. Keep an eye out for big cats, even bigger elephants, and almost every kind of safari wildlife you can imagine.

You might also see giraffe, impala, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, hundreds of species of birds, and that may all just be before breakfast. You'll never forget watching these animals interact, whether you see a hunt, a vast herd or a mother protecting her cub or calf. The Serengeti's scenery is also unforgettable – observe Africa's iconic acacia trees, the park's golden grasslands and great piles of boulders known as kopjes.

Ngorongoro is a special place and the first time that you descend onto the crater floor is like no other safari experience in Africa. This is a world unto itself.

You'll encounter the crater's 600-strong population of hyenas, as well as critically endangered black rhinos. You'll also find elephants with larger-than-average tusks, and more than 50 lions living in the crater. But it's the sheer beauty of Ngorongoro that will most likely live longest in your memory.

From early morning, mist rises from the crater, revealing steep, forested walls, secret waterways where hippos wallow, and a world of abundant wildlife hidden away from the rest of the world.

This is where your safari in Tanzania will end. We hope that you have had the most fabulous trip and we can't wait to help you plan your next safari.

After breakfast, we'll transfer you back to Kilimanjaro Airport for your onward flight, taking with you unforgettable memories of your premium Tanzanian safari adventure.
