9-Day Luxury Tanzania Safari

Your journey begins as you land at Kilimanjaro International Airport. You’ll be warmly greeted by your private Executive Bush Safaris guide and transferred to your luxury hotel in Arusha. Relax after your flight and enjoy a welcome dinner while soaking in views of Mount Meru or the surrounding gardens.

After breakfast, leave Arusha behind and drive to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most scenic and wildlife-rich parks. Tarangire is known as the Land of Giants due to its massive elephant herds and towering baobab trees.

Enjoy your first afternoon game drive, spotting elephants, lions, zebras, and over 500 bird species. Check into your lodge in time for sunset, followed by a gourmet dinner overlooking the park.

Today is a full day dedicated to exploring Tarangire. With your private guide, discover hidden corners of the park and visit the Tarangire River, a lifeline for wildlife during dry months.

Expect to encounter wildebeest, giraffes, ostriches, warthogs, and maybe even the elusive leopards. Stop for a picnic lunch in a shady spot, then continue game driving before returning to your luxury lodge for dinner under the stars.

After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Though small in size, the park is incredibly diverse, offering forests, wetlands, and the alkaline lake itself.

Game drive highlights include tree-climbing lions, flocks of pink flamingos, hippos, and playful monkeys in the groundwater forest. Enjoy a peaceful afternoon game drive before heading to your luxury lodge in Karatu for a relaxing evening.

Rise early and head to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five in one day.

Descend into the 600-meter-deep caldera and explore this natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife—rhinos, lions, zebras, hyenas, flamingos, and more. Enjoy a picnic lunch beside a hippo-filled pool before returning to your lodge for your final night in the highlands.

Today you’ll travel across the vast Ngorongoro Highlands into the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. This scenic drive doubles as a wildlife viewing experience, with opportunities to spot cheetahs, elephants, and migrating herds along the way.

Arrive at your luxurious tented camp in the heart of the Serengeti. Enjoy sundowners as the sky turns gold, followed by a delicious dinner and a peaceful night surrounded by the sounds of nature.

Spend the day tracking big cats, watching towering giraffes, and following herds of wildebeest across the Serengeti plains. Depending on the time of year, you might witness the Great Migration, one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth.

Your expert guide will help you spot elusive predators like leopards, cheetahs, and packs of hyenas. Pause for lunch in the bush before continuing your adventure. In the evening, return to your luxury camp for a fireside dinner.

Start your morning with an optional hot air balloon safari (advance booking required) and watch the Serengeti come to life from above—followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush.

Spend the rest of the day exploring new areas of the park, revisiting favorite animal sightings, or simply relaxing at camp. This is your chance to fully soak in the magic of Tanzania’s wildest landscapes.

On your final morning, enjoy breakfast at camp and, if time allows, a short early game drive. Then, transfer to Seronera Airstrip for a scenic flight back to Kilimanjaro International Airport.

Bid farewell to Tanzania with incredible memories, breathtaking photos, and stories to share for a lifetime.
