The ideal solution for travellers short on time but who want the entire northern Tanzania safari experience, this 7-day tour begins with the panoramic views from a lodge overlooking Lake Manyara before moving to the giants of Tarangire National Park – elephants and baobab trees. The already impressive game viewing then moves up a division into the heavyweights: the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater between them can promise a wealth of wildlife ranging from vast herds of migrating wildebeest in season to big cats, wild dogs, rhinos and elephants. It is an overland tour: you sit back in the rugged comfort of a 4X4 vehicle specially designed for safari, complete with large windows and a pop-up roof for easy photography. A professional guide takes care of the driving between destinations and conducts game drives, opening up the secrets of the landscape and offering insights into both the wildlife and various cultures of the area.
