Overview: 7-Day Luxury Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari

Seven days across the Serengeti's best zones and Ngorongoro Crater in luxury lodges — unhurried, private, and comprehensively guided.

Accommodation is in selected luxury lodges and tented camps — properties with private decks, pool access, and service that allows you to arrive back from a game drive and genuinely relax.

This itinerary is appropriate for travelers who have already done a shorter Tanzania safari and want to go deeper, or for those who are doing East Africa once and want to do it properly.

7-Day Luxury Safari Highlights

Four full Serengeti game drive days — maximum wildlife exposure
Private vehicle and guide for all game drives
Premium luxury lodge accommodation in each park
Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire included
All meals and house beverages
Guided bush walks and sundowner service included

This Safari Is Well Suited For

  • Travelers who want the best accommodation and guiding without compromise
  • Couples celebrating a special occasion — honeymoon, anniversary, milestone birthday
  • Wildlife enthusiasts who want more time in the field with an expert guide
  • Those who have done budget or mid-range safaris and want to upgrade

This Safari May Not Suit

  • Travelers on a strict budget — luxury safari carries a significant price premium
  • Those who want to cover every park in Tanzania in one trip — luxury means fewer but better stops
  • Visitors expecting resort-level comforts — some camps are remote and facilities are field-level
  • Solo travelers who find the per-person cost prohibitive without a partner to share costs

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, 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 $5,200 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. Not included: international flights, Tanzania visa fees (~$50), travel insurance, gratuities, and personal expenses.

Late June to October is the main dry season — best overall for Big Five sightings and the Great Migration river crossings (July-September). January-February is excellent for predator activity. April-May (main rains) and November-December (short rains) are lower-season with lower prices.

We use purpose-built 4x4 Toyota Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs. Private safaris have the vehicle exclusively for your group. Group joining shares with up to 5 other travelers.

What Travelers Say

“Seven days in premium lodges with a private vehicle — this is the Serengeti as it should be experienced. No rushing, no sharing, no compromising on sightings.”

Edward & Katherine S.
UK · August 2024

“The northern lodge positioning during the Migration was our guide's suggestion and it was correct. We saw crossings on three consecutive days.”

Takeshi & Yoko N.
Japan · October 2024

“The Ngorongoro crater descent on Day 6 was extraordinary. We'd had excellent Serengeti game drives — the crater then produced all Big Five in one day.”
