Tanzania safari holidays from Arusha
Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire — northern Tanzania's classic safari circuit, in 4x4 Land Cruisers with experienced local guides.
Northern Tanzania's parks form one of the richest wildlife circuits on the continent, easily reached from Arusha or Kilimanjaro International Airport. Africa Kenya Safaris arranges Tanzania safari holidays of 3–9 days through this circuit, either as a standalone trip or combined with a Kenya itinerary.
Vehicles, guides and lodges are selected to the same standard as our Kenya safaris — 4x4 Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs, driver-guides experienced in the local parks, and a choice of economy, comfort or luxury accommodation throughout.
Tanzania Safari Holidays
The northern circuit, at your pace
A typical Tanzania safari holiday moves through two or three of the parks below, with two nights at each — though the exact route depends on the season and your interests.
Big Cats Serengeti National Park
Endless plains famous for lion prides, cheetah and (seasonally) vast herds of the wildebeest migration moving across the grasslands.

Crater Ngorongoro Conservation Area
A descent into the crater floor reveals one of Africa's highest concentrations of wildlife in a compact, walled landscape — including black rhino.

Forest & Lake Lake Manyara National Park
A compact, scenic park known for its groundwater forest, tree-climbing lions and large flocks of flamingo along the lake shore.

Elephants & Baobabs Tarangire National Park
Famous for large elephant herds and dramatic baobab trees, Tarangire is quieter than the Serengeti and excellent in the dry season.

A taste of Tanzania in a single day
For travellers passing through Arusha or Kilimanjaro, or those extending a beach holiday in northern Tanzania, a day safari to Tarangire or Lake Manyara offers a self-contained game-drive experience without committing to an overnight stay.
Day safaris depart early in the morning with a packed breakfast and lunch, returning by early evening — a practical option if your schedule only allows for one day inland.
