What is the Best 7-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari Itinerary for 2026?

Day 1: Arrival in Arusha (The Safari Capital)
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport, our TALA-licensed driver-guide will warmly welcome you. We provide a private transfer to your hotel in Arusha, allowing for proper acclimatization to the altitude (1,400 meters elevation) before starting the journey. Dinner and overnight stay in Arusha.
 
 
 
Day 2: Arusha to Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, depart for Tarangire National Park (~120 km, a 2-hour drive). This park is famous for its massive elephant herds and iconic Baobab trees. You will spend the full day on game drives, spotting diverse wildlife including lionsgiraffes, and hundreds of bird species. Overnight stay in Karatu.
 
 
 
Day 3: Lake Manyara National Park
Travel a short distance (~50 km) to Lake Manyara National Park for a morning game drive. The park is renowned for its tree-climbing lions, abundant baboons, and flocks of pink flamingos along the soda lake. After exploring the lush forest habitats, return to your lodge in Karatu.
 
 
 
Day 4: Karatu to Serengeti National Park
Depart early for the Serengeti National Park (~145 km), traveling via the scenic Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Enjoy a game drive en-route, stopping for a picnic lunch before arriving at the Seronera Valley for an afternoon drive across the endless plains. Overnight stay inside the Serengeti.
