About this trip
Eight days across northern Tanzania's main safari circuit, starting and ending in Moshi. You move through Tarangire, Lake Natron, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, with a fully guided driver-guide throughout.
The pace gives you two full days in the Serengeti for game drives and a chance at the Great Migration, alongside shorter stops at Tarangire's elephants, Lake Natron's flamingos and Lake Manyara's tree-climbing lions.
You start with a transfer from Kilimanjaro Airport and a briefing before setting off, and finish back in Moshi with the option to extend into Zanzibar or add day trips if you want more time.
What you'll do
- Game drives in Tarangire National Park among elephants, zebras and varied birdlife
- Visit Lake Natron, a key breeding ground for flamingos
- Two full days of game drives in the Serengeti during the Great Migration season
- Explore the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site
- Look out for tree-climbing lions in Lake Manyara National Park

- Zanzibar beach time or extra day trips are optional add-ons at the end, not included in the core 8 days
Worth it if you want a thoroughly organised, game-rich safari with genuinely knowledgeable guides. Think twice if you need flexibility or budget accommodation.
- Guides like Mark, Hussein, and Clinton deliver deep park knowledge and memorable close-up wildlife encounters consistently.
- Trip coordinators Patrick and Yusuph handle logistics flawlessly: permits, transport, accommodation, cultural visits, and itinerary tweaks.
- Eight days across four parks lets you actually explore Serengeti and Ngorongoro properly rather than rush through.
- Lodges and camps are consistently high-end; budget option not mentioned, so expect premium pricing throughout.
