Itinerary

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met by our guide and transferred to your lodge for night’s rest. Dinner and Overnight: Arusha Coffee Lodge/Arusha Serena Hotel (BB)
Lake Manyara National Park is a great place to let the fun begin! In fact, the fun may even start before you enter the park, as a HUGE troop of baboons sort of “own” the stretch of highway leading to the park.
Lake Manyara National Park is home to a wide variety of animals which thrive in the short savannah grasslands and the mixture of shrubs which dominate the landscape. Keep an eye out for leopards, elephants, wildebeest, cape buffalo and giraffes. And continually scan the trees for lions, as LMNP is affectionately known as the “Home of the Tree-climbing Lions.”
Lake Manyara National Park is a birding paradise as well! It is home to approximately 400 bird species that thrive in the variety of habitats inside this park. Try to keep track of how many you spot during your time in this park! You’ll be amazed!.
The majestic and world-famous Serengeti is the thing that dreams are made of! Granite kopjes pop up, seemingly out of nowhere, and dot the landscape like islands in a sea of wind-blown grasses.
The park has a well-earned reputation for reliable and unforgettable wildlife encounters that, at times, seem to be around every bend in the road! You should easily spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes of every variety, hippos, etc. And during the WET season, in particular, the birds should be nothing short of mind-blowing, both in volume and beauty!.
You will leave the Serengeti and head straight to the Ngorongoro Crater on Day 7! As you descend into the crater, your primary goal will be to help your guide by being on the lookout for the endangered Black Rhinos (shown below) who live inside this incredible crater! This will be your best shot of finding this element of the Big Five!.
Although Tanzania has many wilderness and wildlife showpieces, this one is particularly difficult to put into words. With remarkable views from the ridge above, to the real action on the crater floor, the crater embodies a constant stir of wildlife and unspoiled scenes to keep you engrossed.
One of our guests described Ngorongoro as “Where Heaven Meets Earth!” Another said it was like “A mixture of Narnia and Seuss, with just a dash of Jurassic Park!” However you describe it, it is a MUST-SEE on any Tanzanian safari!.
Millions of years ago this enormous volcano collapse and formed this massive CALDERA that we mistakenly refer to the “Ngorongoro Crater”. Present day, this caldera is now an incredible, self-sustaining ecosystem that boasts the highest density of African wildlife on Earth, and a UNESCO World Heritage site to boot!.
On the last day of your Tanzania Classic Safari , bid farewell to Tanzania. Furthermore, appreciate your guides as they drive you back to Arusha. Enjoy a leisurely lunch, some shopping, and possibly a day-use room for refreshing before heading to the airport. Cherish the newfound friendships and memories as you depart for home.
Well, our 8-day Tanzania Classic Safari showcases the best of Tanzania's landscapes and wildlife, promising an adventure like no other. Ready for an unforgettable journey? Contact us today, and let's plan your next Tanzania Safari Tour , where nature unfolds its secrets.

Incredible trip with an incredible guide

Incredible trip with our incredible guide, Danny. Not the usual safari: we spent time living with the Maasai and explored 3 different parks seeing all the animals (except the leopard - this time!).
