6-Day Majestic Tanzania – Luxury (with Four Seasons)

Continue from the safari starting point towards Tarangire National Park, leaving time for the day’s scheduled visits. Your guide will use the available hours to balance travel, stops and the principal activity. Keep binoculars ready for distant animals and birds. Photography can change quickly as animals move between trees and exposed ground. Tarangire has a broad mix of riverine woodland, old baobabs and open grass that gives the park a distinctive character.

The overnight stop is Nimali Tarangire Camp. You will have time to settle at the property selected for this part of the route before the next day begins.

Continue from Tarangire National Park towards Lake Manyara National Park, leaving time for the day’s scheduled visits. The schedule keeps this destination as the centre of the day rather than making it a brief roadside visit. Lake Manyara is a compact park below the Rift Valley escarpment, with forest, open areas and seasonal lake margins. Baboons, blue monkeys, elephants and waterbirds are among the animals visitors may encounter in its varied habitats.

The overnight stop is Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge. The evening is an opportunity to rest before another early start and review the day’s wildlife photographs.

Continue from Lake Manyara National Park towards Serengeti National Park, leaving time for the day’s scheduled visits. The plan for this stage is to spend enough time in the main area to appreciate its character. Lion prides, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes and many grazing mammals may be seen, but a particular sighting always depends on wildlife movements. Patient time around kopjes and drainage lines can be useful for spotting predators, while the wider grassland gives good views of moving herds.

The overnight stop is Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti. Use the quieter part of the day to recharge your camera batteries and confirm the following morning’s plan.

On this part of the journey, continue from Serengeti National Park towards Serengeti National Park, leaving time for the day’s scheduled visits. Today concentrates on a different part of the route, with the journey arranged around the main destination. Patient time around kopjes and drainage lines can be useful for spotting predators, while the wider grassland gives good views of moving herds. Long views across the plains contrast with rocky outcrops and isolated trees where birds and mammals may gather.

You stay tonight at Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti. You will have time to settle at the property selected for this part of the route before the next day begins.

Continue from Serengeti National Park towards Ngorongoro Crater, leaving time for the day’s scheduled visits. The scenery changes again as you reach this stop on the northern Tanzania circuit. The descent reveals a broad basin with changing colours and an impressive rim above it. Weather can be cool or misty at the higher viewpoint. Pack an extra layer for the crater rim and follow park guidance during any planned picnic stop.

The overnight stop is Ngorongoro Lion's Paw Camp. The evening is an opportunity to rest before another early start and review the day’s wildlife photographs.

This is the closing day of the route. Enjoy the final planned outing before your guide arranges the onward transfer. This day adds a distinct landscape to the trip and gives you another setting for guided exploration. Pack an extra layer for the crater rim and follow park guidance during any planned picnic stop. The Ngorongoro Crater is a volcanic caldera with grassland, woodland, marsh and a soda lake contained within steep highland walls.

For this day’s itinerary, morning and afternoon conditions may feel very different; pack layers that are useful during both. Roadside scenery is worth watching as the vegetation and altitude change along this part of the circuit.

While visiting this area, no overnight accommodation is listed for this final day. Confirm departure arrangements before booking.
