Trip Overview

The 9-Day Tanzania Safari Tour is epic and ideal for savanna wildlife adventures and birding. You will start your 9-day safari adventure with a visit to Tarangire National Park. The park is among the exclusive and impressive wildlife destinations in northern Tanzania. Unlike Serengeti, Tarangire is not overcrowded and wildlife Discovery Journeys here are truly exclusive and most recommended safaris.

From Tarangire, you will pass via Lake Manyara for a safari enjoying the Birdlife before proceeding to the Ngorongoro Crater and Ndutu conservancy. These are great destinations for wildlife viewing where you can relax and enjoy the best of nature. You will get to see elephants, lions, giraffes, and several bird species.

Serengeti national park is the highlight where you will catch up with the wildebeest migration and other wildlife occurrences. You will mainly explore the park on game drives, guided walks, and balloon safaris depending on what you prefer most. The 9-day Tanzania safari will give you the best of Tanzania and savanna wildlife in general. You will stay at some of the high-end luxurious lodges adjacent to the safari destinations. From here you will easily explore the different safari destinations as some safari activities like game drives start right from the lodges.

You can take on this 9-day Tanzania safari Tour and Discovery Journeys any time of the year. If you have a keen interest in the wildebeest migration then the dry season from June to September is the best time to visit. For the best birding safari adventures, the time from November to May is the best as migratory birds are usually in the region.
