While nature offers no guarantees, visiting the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti gives you the absolute best chance to see lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and the rare black rhino. Your guide will use their expert tracking skills to locate these iconic animals across different habitats. Having a dedicated vehicle means you can start your game drives early to catch predators when they are most active.
Yes, we can easily alter your schedule to include a cultural stop at a traditional Maasai boma near the Ngorongoro highlands. This experience allows you to learn about local customs and see traditional dances without taking too much time away from your wildlife viewing. We recommend discussing this with your guide so they can find the best time between park transits.
Our safari Land Cruisers come equipped with pop-up roofs for unobstructed viewing and photography of the diverse wildlife. You will find charging ports for your cameras, a small fridge with cold water, and comfortable seating for the long drives. We also provide binoculars and reference books to help you identify the various species you encounter
Tarangire is famous for its massive elephant population and the ancient baobab trees that dominate the landscape. It provides a fantastic introduction to the Tanzanian wilderness and is usually less crowded than the more famous Serengeti. Starting here allows you to settle into the rhythm of the bush before heading deeper into the Northern Circuit.
The movement of the wildebeest depends on the season, with the herds usually found in the central or northern areas from June to October. During the early months of the year, you might witness the calving season in the southern plains. Your guide will stay updated on herd movements to position your vehicle in the best possible spots for viewing.
On an exclusive tour, we select lodges and tented camps that offer a high level of privacy and personalized service. You can choose between mid-range comfort and ultra-luxury stays depending on your specific budget and preferences. Many of these locations feature stunning views and private decks where you can relax after your game drives.
The crater is a self-contained ecosystem with a very high density of wildlife, making it easy to spot many animals in a short period. You will likely see large prides of lions, pods of hippos, and perhaps even the elusive black rhino near the soda lake. Because it is a protected area, the scenery remains pristine and offers incredible backdrops for your photos.
All your meals are included and our partner lodges are very experienced in catering to various dietary needs. Whether you are vegan, gluten-free, or have specific allergies, the chefs will prepare fresh and delicious meals just for you. We provide picnic lunches for full days in the parks so you never have to cut a game drive short to find food.
A sunrise balloon safari over the Serengeti plains is a popular addition that can be arranged for your third or fourth morning. This experience offers a unique perspective of the landscape and is followed by a traditional champagne breakfast in the bush. It is an unforgettable way to celebrate a special occasion during your five-day adventure
