Tour Overview

Tanzania is well known for its wildlife, with animals and birds in large numbers almost everywhere, so your safari will give you plenty to remember. This 6 Days Tanzania Luxury Safari is for travelers who like comfort more than roughing it. Along with exciting wildlife and beautiful scenery, you stay in some of the best upscale lodges, and the trip still has the real feel of a Tanzanian safari.

Tanzania has some of the world's top luxury safaris: fine lodges, very good food and excellent service, right out in the wild.

This 6-day Tanzania luxury safari visits four of the country's best-known national parks: Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. Over six days you get excellent wildlife viewing and very comfortable places to stay.

  • Lake Manyara National Park: The trip starts gently in this pretty park, where forest tracks wind between a soda lake and the steep wall of the Great Rift escarpment. It's known for tree-climbing lions and more than 400 bird species, and you stay at a luxury lodge.
  • Serengeti National Park: Next you head into Africa's most famous park, known for its big cats and the Great Migration, when 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles cover 1,200 miles to survive. You stay in a luxury tented camp or lodge close to the action.
  • Ngorongoro Crater: Then you visit the world's largest intact caldera, a 265 sq. km bowl with walls 600m deep. It's home to 20,000 to 30,000 animals and is one of the best places to look for the Big Five. You stay at a comfortable lodge near the crater.
  • Tarangire National Park: You end in Tarangire, which is at its best in the dry season, when big elephant herds move through the baobab-covered landscape. Bird lovers will enjoy its more than 500 species, and you stay at a top-end lodge or tented camp.

  4. Day 3 Full day Serengeti National Park

    After the breakfast proceed for game viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, and which is good for possible Lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah sightings. We will enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at the center in the shade of the giant acacia trees. In the afternoon we will follow the Kopje Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Maasai Kopjes, which usually attract a number of lion and some formidably large cobras. Kopjes are weathered granite outcrops, scattered around the plains, most of which are miniature ecosystems, providing shade and drinking water in pools left in the rock after the rains. This makes the kopjes particularly good for spotting wildlife in the dry seasons – including lions, which like to lie in wait for animals coming to drink!

    Optional

    If you like to watch wildlife from another perspective, we recommend you to go on a balloon safari. It is an amazing experience to drift silently above the plains with herds of wildlife The hot-air balloon gently takes you up in the air and floats wherever the morning winds may take you.
    During the ride you have a stunning and far-reaching view of the great plains of the Serengeti. From here you can spot big herds of wildebeest, giraffes and prides of lion’s right below you. At the right time of year and with a good amount of luck you might even be able to experience the great migration from above.

  • Absolutely Beautiful Memories For My Family

    Traveling with my 6 members of my family of ages between 8 and 73 is always a complex task with many moving parts. We had to arrange for Mama and Poppas dietary restrictions, accommodations, easy access for Mama and off-course places with a pool and kids activities for Lil Poppa and his teenage sister Anna.
