7-Day Tanzania Luxury Safari Tour Package

Your extraordinary 7-day Tanzania luxury safari package begins the moment you land at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). You will be warmly greeted by your private safari guide, who will be your expert companion for the entire journey. After a brief introduction, you will be escorted to your luxury 4x4 Land Cruiser and begin the scenic drive to Tarangire National Park.

Known as the "Land of Giants," Tarangire is famed for its immense elephant herds and the majestic, ancient baobab trees that dominate the landscape. The Tarangire River is a lifeline for the park's inhabitants, drawing a spectacular array of wildlife. Your afternoon will be spent on your first game drive, a thrilling introduction to the African bush. As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, casting a golden glow across the savanna, you'll arrive at your opulent lodge. Enjoy a refreshing sundowner before a sumptuous dinner, lulled to sleep by the distant sounds of the wild.

Awake to the crisp morning air and the symphony of birdsong. After a delectable breakfast, you'll embark on a final morning game drive in Tarangire before journeying towards the Great Rift Valley. Your destination is Lake Manyara National Park, a gem nestled at the base of the dramatic escarpment.

Though smaller than other parks on this itinerary, Lake Manyara boasts an incredible diversity of habitats, from dense acacia woodland to the shimmering alkaline lake. It is world-renowned for its resident tree-climbing lions, a rare and fascinating sight. You'll spend the afternoon searching for these skilled felines, as well as vast troops of baboons, blue monkeys, and elegant giraffes. The lake itself is often a vibrant sea of pink, thanks to thousands of flamingoes. As evening approaches, you will ascend the rift valley wall to your magnificent lodge, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the park below.

Today, the adventure elevates as you journey to the world’s most celebrated safari destination: the Serengeti National Park. The drive itself is a spectacle, taking you through the lush highlands of Karatu and into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you'll get your first glimpse of the immense Ngorongoro Crater.

As you descend onto the Serengeti's seemingly endless plains, the landscape transforms into the classic African savanna you've always dreamed of. The name "Serengeti" is derived from the Maasai word siringit, meaning "the place where the land runs on forever." You will quickly understand why. Your first game drive here is an immersion into a wildlife paradise. Depending on the season, you may be positioned to witness the awe-inspiring Great Wildebeest Migration. The sheer scale of life is staggering. Your home for the next two nights is a strategically located luxury camp, designed to place you at the center of the action without sacrificing an ounce of comfort.

This day is dedicated entirely to exploring the vastness of the Serengeti. Your guide will use their expert knowledge to track the movements of wildlife, maximizing your chances of incredible sightings. This is your prime opportunity to witness the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the elusive black rhino.

You might spend the morning tracking a pride of lions on the move, watch a cheetah survey the plains from atop a termite mound, or marvel at the grace of a leopard resting in an acacia tree. The day is yours to design with your guide. You can opt for a full-day game drive with a gourmet picnic lunch enjoyed in the heart of the bush, or return to the lodge for a leisurely lunch and an afternoon siesta before an evening game drive. The experience is flexible and tailored to you, a hallmark of a true 7-day Tanzania luxury safari.

You have the option for one final, magical game drive at dawn, a time when predators are most active and the light is ethereal. After a final bush breakfast, you will bid farewell to the Serengeti and begin your scenic drive towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

The journey offers a chance to visit a traditional Maasai village (optional), providing a respectful and authentic glimpse into the lives of these proud pastoralist people who coexist with the region's wildlife. Your destination for the night is a breathtaking lodge perched dramatically on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. The views from your room are simply stupendous, offering a tantalizing preview of tomorrow's adventure. Spend the evening relaxing by the fireplace, soaking in the unparalleled atmosphere of this geological marvel.

Today is a day you will never forget. After an early breakfast, you will descend 600 meters (2,000 feet) to the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater. This 260-square-kilometer (100-square-mile) natural amphitheater is a self-contained ecosystem of unparalleled beauty and supports one of the highest concentrations of wildlife on Earth.

The crater floor is a veritable Noah's Ark. Here, you have the highest chance of spotting the complete Big Five in a single game drive. Herds of zebra and wildebeest graze on the grasslands, hippos jostle for space in the pools, and ancient bull elephants with massive tusks roam the forests. The crater is also one of the best places in Tanzania to see the critically endangered black rhinoceros. You will enjoy a magnificent picnic lunch on the crater floor before ascending back to your lodge on the rim in the late afternoon, filled with awe at the spectacle you have witnessed.

Enjoy a final, leisurely breakfast overlooking the crater, savoring the last moments of your incredible African journey. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time for some last-minute souvenir shopping at a local craft market in Arusha. Your guide will then drive you back to Arusha for lunch, after which you will be transferred to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) for your departure flight home, carrying with you memories that will last a lifetime.
