From $1,450 per person
8 days
8-Day Tanzania Safari from Arusha
Eight days is the full northern circuit without compromise — three nights in the Serengeti, both crater and lake, and enough slack to follow the animals instead of the clock.
From $2,700 per person
10% of your payment goes directly to the Fruitful Orphanage & Day Care Center in Arusha. You see Tanzania; Isaac and the children get lasting support.
Not sure which one fits?
Three days is enough for Manyara, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Five days is the minimum that does the Serengeti justice. If your dates are fixed, check what the wildlife is doing that month first — it often decides the itinerary for you.
