- Serengeti: Hello new accommodation – Kon tiki Serengeti Camp (yep, they're called Kon tiki). Here, you'll have easy access to prime game viewing areas, and you'll also be able to witness one of nature’s most extraordinary events - the Great Wildebeest Migration! Plus, it comes with luxurious beds, linen and professional chefs to serve up the freshest food.
- Mto Wa Mbu: Stroll through the Maasai Market with vibrant stalls of fruit, handmade shukas and beaded jewellery. And even sample traditional dishes (washed down with banana beer!). You'll also learn about the art of Makonde carving in this little town that's home to around 120 Maasai tribes - all with their own unique language and customs.
- Ngorongoro Crater: Experience a one-of-a-kind drive inside an ancient volcano that’s packed with incredible wildlife and right in the heart of the action.
- Serengeti: Another day, another game drive, giving us the most amount of opportunities to see the wildlife that roams these plains.
- Serengeti: Cruise around the plains at sunset to explore new areas and spot a few more animals before they head off to bed.
- Serengeti: Was that lion we heard last night? Let’s go find out. Take an incredible morning drive in search of the wildlife we heard throughout the night.
- Serengeti: Watch out for local wildlife as we head to our camp, which is bang in the middle of these endless plains. Could the location be any more epic?
- Tarangire National Park: Take a drive through the ‘land of giants’. This national park is known for its elephants and sprawling Baobab trees.
- Arusha: Support this social enterprise that employs local disabled people with artisanal skills. Watch weaving, glass blowing, beading, paper making and metal work.

Summary
You can reel off the names of the Big 5, you've imagined yourself driving through the Serengeti in an open-top vehicle, and you've dreamed of going on safari since you first learnt how to say 'Hakuna Matata'. How about we throw in some views of the Great Rift Valley, a visit to an ancient volcano dense with game and predators, and nights camping under the star-swept skies of the Serengeti plains? Now this is the Africa trip you've been waiting for.
Itinerary
Day 1
Arusha to Tarangire
Welcome to your African safari adventure! Our first stop is the Shanga Community Project, which offers employment to the disabled people of the community. Afterwards, we'll head to our first national park in Tanzania - Tarangire, home to two of Africa's giants: elephants and baobab trees. The lodge will provide us with a buffet dinner tonight, so make sure you're hungry!
Day 2
Tarangire
An early start this morning will take us into the Tarangire National Park for a full day, in the hopes for a glimpse of some of its elusive predators and changing landscapes. We'll stay here for most of the day with a packed lunch provided to give us the most opportunity of exploring this wildlife wilderness. Afterwards, we'll visit a Maasai village, meeting some of the locals to learn all about their customs and way of life. There'll be a buffet dinner tonight too, so be sure to save some room!
Day 3
Tarangire to Serengeti
After breakfast we'll set out in our safari vehicles to our next destination: the Serengeti. We take in views of the Rift valley and the rim of Ngorogoro Crater as we make our way to the main gate of the Serengeti, stopping off to visit Mto Wa Mbu Village and a local market. We'll drive through the endless plains of this vast reserve to reach our accommodation for the night. Tonights accommodation will be a safari-style lodge in the middle of the Serengeti. A buffet meal will be served for dinner, and you're free to sit outside and listen to the sounds of nocturnal animals waking up to forage or hunt, all while sitting under the bright canopy of stars in the African sky.
Day 4
Serengeti
We'll spend a full day seeking out the game of Africa's plains, with predators in hot pursuit of their prey. If the wildebeest migration is around, then you are in for a wildlife treat: millions of wildebeest and zebra grazing for as far as the eye can see really is one of Africas' greatest spectacles to observe. If you want to make today even more unforgettable, you can opt in for a once-in-a-lifetime Balloon safari. A buffet dinner awaits us back at our safari camp.
Day 5
Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
Enjoy some breakfast before we depart the Serengeti with a morning game drive on our way to our next destination, the Ngorongoro Crater. In the late morning we reach the Ngorongoro Crater, an ancient volcano, boasting one of the highest densities of predators stalking the abundant wildlife enclosed inside the volcano's centre. We'll stop here for a picnic lunch before we ascend the plateau. A true natural wonder, only found in Africa.
Day 6
Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha via Lake Manyara
Its our last day on safari and our last chance for some wildlife viewing. Opt to jump on one last game drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Renowned for its famed tree-climbing lions, Lake Manyara is a completely different ecosystem to the other parks we have visited with grassy floodplains and massive forests to spot unique wildlife and bird-life to this region. With full hearts and memories made, it's time to say fond farewells to your new lifelong friends, and to our African adventure.

Customer reviews & ratings
Everything was brilliant. Contiki and our guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* were organised and informative throughout. *Personal information removed by Feefo* provided great communication, knowledge and fun whilst taking us to Tanzanian safari hotspots to experience the wildlife up close. It was a fantastic experience and we would highly reccommend safaris in Tanzania and *Personal information removed by Feefo* as your guide!
Alana Crouch Jul, 2025 VerifiedThe Tanzania Safari is incredible - we saw such a huge variety of animals so close up, all thanks to the expertise of our guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* who went above and beyond to ensure we had the most amazing experience. Particular highlight was also the accommodation in the Serengeti - glamping right in the middle of a national park!
