Safari overview
Six full safari days connect Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in a natural sequence. From elephant country and Rift Valley forest to open plains and the crater floor, the scenery and wildlife habitat change almost every day.
Why travel privately
Six safari days allow the route to open gradually through four wildlife areas. Your private guide can balance game drive time, travel time and rest around the needs of your group.
