Trip Overview
Overview
This seven-day private safari gives each major landscape room to breathe. Begin around Lake Manyara’s forest and escarpment, spend two unhurried days in the Serengeti, descend into Ngorongoro Crater and end among the ancient baobabs of Tarangire. It is a strong option for first-time safari travellers who want variety without spending every day in transit.
