Enchanting Tanzania Safari

Most enchanting Tanzania safaris last 5 to 9 days. Five days covers Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, while seven to nine days adds Lake Manyara, Ndutu, cultural visits and more time following the migration. You can extend with Zanzibar beaches or a Kilimanjaro climb for a longer East Africa holiday.

The best time is June to October, the dry season, when wildlife gathers near water and the Great Migration crosses rivers in the northern Serengeti. January to March is ideal for the calving season in Ndutu. November and December bring green scenery, fewer vehicles and often better lodge rates.

Yes. An enchanting Tanzania safari can be timed to follow the Great Migration. From January to March the herds calve in Ndutu and the southern Serengeti, and from July to October they cross rivers in the north. Our guides plan your camps around the herds' movements, though sightings are never guaranteed.

You have an excellent chance of seeing the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. Ngorongoro Crater is one of the best places in Africa to spot the rare black rhino, while the Serengeti and Tarangire offer superb lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo sightings.
