Tanzania - Classic Safari
Tanzania - Classic Safari
The most classic safari trip in Tanzania, now more accessible than ever. In this itinerary we propose you to get to know the three jewels of northern Tanzania: Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
We will do a linear route and enjoy the authentic African savannah without giving up comfort, since the distances are shorter and the accommodations are mid-range. In addition, we offer this safari with regular departure throughout the year.

Your detailed safari itinerary
Arriving in Tanzania
Pick up at Kilimanjaro Airport by a Watatu Travel representative (between 7 and 9 in the morning) and transfer to the accommodation (1h 30 approx). At noon, we will have lunch in a local community where moms will cook us traditional food such as pilau rice, various types of soup, fresh vegetables, assorted fruits and also grilled meat. In this way we have direct contact with the local people and thus we get to know the rest of the group.
En route to Tarangire National Park
We will have breakfast at our accommodation in Arusha and begin our journey to Tarangire National Park. This park is home to the country's largest elephant herds, boasts a very diverse landscape, and features perennial freshwater rivers that attract these animals, especially during the dry season. We will go on a safari during the day and spend the night on the border of the national park.
En route to the Serengeti via Klein's Gate and afternoon safari
A 5h route to the Serengeti National Park through Nabi Gate, the main entrance to the park. Picnic lunch before entering the park and afternoon safari en route to the accommodation located in the center of the Serengeti.
Full day safari in the Serengeti
Today we will dedicate the whole day to the “Best Safari in the World”. During the day, we will discover the great variety of birds, reptiles and mammals that inhabit the park: nyus, zebras and different species of antelope. With the help of our guides, we will learn how to track the most famous cats on the planet - lions, cheetahs and leopards. An incredible day that we will divide into two outings: one from 6 to 12 in the morning and another from 4 to 6 in the afternoon, the hours in which the animals are most active. Between both departures, we will rest and dine at the hostel.
Ngorongoro Crater Safari
Early in the morning, we will start a safari en route to the south of the Serengeti. Along the way we will cross stunning landscapes and we will have more opportunities to observe the fauna in its natural habitat. At noon (12:00-13:00 h), we will descend to 600 meters deep inside the Ngorongoro Crater, a unique ecosystem, considered one of the best wildlife reserves in the world. Although it seems impossible, this is where you can see the big 5. Afterwards, we will leave the Conservation Area and spend the night in our lodge, surrounded by a spectacular environment.
Plantations in Mto Wa Mbu and transfer to the airport
After several intense days, today we'll start our day more calmly. We'll enjoy a leisurely breakfast at our lodge, and at midday, we'll participate in the "Farmers' Land" activity. In Mto Wa Mbu, we'll have the opportunity to learn about the area's banana plantations. We'll taste the regional cuisine and understand the importance of this crop for the farmers and the local economy. And, hard as it may be to believe, our adventure is coming to an end. We will then transfer to the airport.
The Serengeti National Park is one of the largest and most important parks in Africa, with an area of approximately 30,000 km2. It has a wide variety of ecosystems, from endless plains to hills and scattered forests, which makes it a very diverse habitat to host a lot of wildlife. It is famous for being the scene of the great annual migration, where millions of nyus and zebras roam the Serengeti in search of fresh pastures and rains.
This ancient volcanic crater is home to a large concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, rhinos and giraffes, as well as a spectacular landscape of meadows, lakes and forests. Without a doubt, one of the essentials to visit while making a safari in Tanzania.
Tarangire is one of the most important National Parks in northern Tanzania, known for its large elephant population and diverse fauna. The park is characterized by its centuries-old baobabs, seasonal swamps and the Tarangire River, which attracts a wide variety of animals during the dry season as it is of perennial water (there is always water).
Locally owned and family run accommodation located in the heart of Arusha. It was the first B&B in the city and is an excellent accommodation to rest with gardens to stroll through.
This classic, eco-friendly tent camp is located in the heart of the Serengeti and offers some of the best panoramic views in the park. Each tent is fully equipped with African decorations and styles.
Located on the outskirts of the city of Karatu. Simplicity and service are the hallmark of rural accommodations set in beautiful tree-lined gardens surrounding the beautiful swimming pool.
