Tanzania Classic Safari
The Safari you imagine when you say "Africa!"
ACCESSIBILITY: This journey can be tailored for those that have physical and/or neuro-diversity needs. We’ll collaborate with you to modify the itinerary as needed to turn your trip into a reality.
The Classic Tanzania Safari traverses the Northern Game Park Circuit, delivering the quintessential African experience from the Serengeti’s expansive plains to the dramatic scenery of the Ngorongoro Crater.
This itinerary is designed for comfort, featuring a well-paced drive through evolving landscapes, with no transit leg exceeding two hours. To maximize your time, the journey concludes with a convenient flight back to Arusha.
Your professional 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 a dedicated guide for multiple days. They learn your way of travel, what your favorite species are, and what you have seen the day before, looking to show you 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.
In search of the migrating herds? Many travelers hope to witness the "Great Migration" particularly the river crossing. This requires significant luck even for the most seasoned safari planner, as there are no set times that the herds cross. The wildebeest and zebra frequently shift their patterns, according to grass and water availability. All Born Free itineraries and accommodations are dynamic and are modified to optimize game viewing and migration encounters.
Best areas 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: Herds head north to Kenya. Resident game stay in the Serengeti
- October-December: Northern Serengeti when herds return from the Mara
Journey priced from: Call for current rates.
