Overview: 7-Day Tanzania Group Wildlife Safari

Seven days and four parks in a small group vehicle — Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara — the most comprehensive group safari we offer.

Three nights in the Serengeti — the most of any group joining option — gives you three full game drive days to explore different zones. Adding Lake Manyara and Tarangire creates genuine ecological diversity: forest, alkaline lake, woodland, savanna, and crater.

This itinerary works best in the dry season (July–October) when wildlife is most concentrated and roads in the parks are most accessible.

What to Know Before You Go

Best Time to Visit

Tanzania's dry seasons — late June to October and January to February — provide the best overall conditions. Vegetation is thinner, animals concentrate around water, and the Great Wildebeest Migration river crossings peak July to September. The wet seasons bring lower prices and fewer visitors but more challenging roads.

Health Requirements

Yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from an endemic country and recommended regardless. Malaria prophylaxis is advisable for all mainland Tanzania. Consult a travel health clinic at least four to six weeks before departure.

What to Bring

Neutral-coloured clothing (khaki, olive, tan) is standard on safari. Bright colours attract insects. Bring a wide-brimmed hat, high-SPF sunscreen, insect repellent with DEET, and binoculars (8x magnification minimum). A headlamp is useful for early morning departures.

Frequently Asked Questions

On a 7-day safari through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, you can expect excellent Big Five sightings. The Serengeti has the highest lion density in Africa and strong leopard populations in riverine areas. Ngorongoro Crater has one of the highest wildlife concentrations per square kilometre anywhere on earth. Tarangire is exceptional for elephants. Wildebeest migration crossings peak July-September.

From $1,600 per person: return airport transfers, all park and conservation fees, 4x4 Land Cruiser with pop-up roof, experienced guide-driver, all accommodation as specified, all meals during the safari, and bottled water.
