Classic Tanzania Safari
The Tanzania Classic Safari traverses the Northern Circuit, offering everything you imagine, from the vast, wildlife-filled plains of the Serengeti to rainforests and epic scenery of the Ngorongoro Crater.
This well-paced journey maximizes your time by driving through the evolving landscapes toward the Serengeti with no transit time over 2 hours and concluding with a flight back to Arusha.
While many travelers hope to witness the Great Migration, seeing the herds of zebra and wildebeest cross into Kenya requires both precise planning and significant luck, as the animals frequently change their patterns. Encountering the migrating herds is possible, but it is best not to plan specifically for a river crossing to avoid disappointment.
Your dedicated guide will meet you in Arusha on arrival. He/she will stay with you until your safari ends in the Serengeti. There is nothing better than being with your dedicated guide for multi-days. They learn your way of travel, what are your favorite species, and what you have seen the day before, looking for new and exciting experiences. They are a storyteller, your host, and will handle everything from your check-in at hotels to carrying your luggage and making sure that the hotel knows about any dietary requirements.
Every Born Free East Africa safari is tailored to your specific travel dates to provide the best possible wildlife access.
Key considerations for maximizing game viewing:
- December- March: Southern Serengeti/Ndutu (Calving season, less crowded)
- Late May-July: Western Corridor/Grumeti section of the Serengeti
- July-September: Excellent resident wildlife Central and Northern Serengeti The migration splits to Tarangire National Park
- October-December: Northern Serengeti when herds return from the Mara
Peak season is July – October when it is very busy with travelers.
