7 DAYS SAFARI

Wildlife Safaris in Tanzania - If you only have a week to spare then these options are the best for you. We have a sample of safaris that families, couples or groups can escape for a week and still make a fabulous safari in Africa. Tanzanian northern parks are reputed for being close to one another and the furthest one can drive is at most 3.5 hours. The rest are an hour and a half apart and if planned well; a week is enough to get the best of an African safari in Tanzania.
You can choose to visit the Lake Manyara or Tarangire National Park In addition to the usual hotspots of Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. If you need recommendations please ask our safari consultants and we shall advise you; which option is best at which period of the year and depending on when you are planning to travel to Tanzania.
Please sample our itineraries here below and let us know which one interests you the most. If you arrive via a different airport other than Kilimanjaro, we can always arrange your private transfer by vehicle, shuttle bus or connection flights. Please see Flights to Tanzania for more on getting to Tanzania.
