7 Days PRIVATE Best of Tanzania Safari *Departing everyday*

The big draw here is variety: in one week, you visit four of northern Tanzania’s best-known wildlife areas, from the forested shores of Lake Manyara to the open plains of the Serengeti and the wildlife-filled Ngorongoro Crater. You travel privately in a 4×4 with a viewing roof, so the schedule can feel more personal than a large group safari.

I like the small maximum group of six and the fact that airport transfers and accommodation before and after the safari are included. I also like the human side of the route, especially the Mto wa Mbu cultural tour, local lunch, banana beer tasting, and possible Maasai village visit. The main caution is the pace: several days run eight to ten hours, and the itinerary should be checked carefully because the meeting details mention Arusha Airport while the arrival day refers to Moshi.
