7 Days PRIVATE Best of Tanzania Safari *Departing everyday*
Seven days can bring Tanzania’s big three within reach. This private lodge safari packs Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire into one well-filled week, with a private guide, 4×4 transport, park fees, meals, and accommodation included. I especially like the small maximum of six people and the mix of wildlife drives with Maasai, village, and farming experiences. The main catch is the pace: several days involve long drives and up to 10 hours of touring.
I also like that the trip includes accommodation before and after the safari, which removes some airport-day fuss. Guides such as Patrick, Kileo, and Marko have been praised for their planning, humor, wildlife skill, and knowledge of Tanzania. Still, you should confirm the exact airport, hotel category, and guide assignment before paying, since the details shown refer to both Arusha Airport and an arrival in Moshi.
