Unforgettable 7-Day Tanzania Safari Tour for Wildlife Lovers
A quick visit doesn’t always capture the full magic of a safari in Tanzania. A 7-day Tanzania safari gives you the time to explore, experience, and connect.
You’ll watch elephant herds in the open, follow wildebeest as they cross grassy plains, and hear the distant call of a lion as the sun sets behind the acacia trees.
Each day on the safari circuit brings a new highlight.
You can track the Big Five, learn from an experienced guide, or relax at your lodge with a view of the savannah. This is your safari experience of a lifetime!
Two Incredible 7-Day Itineraries to Choose From
We offer two popular 7-day options, each with its own rhythm and focus.

See More with a Week in the Wild
A week gives you a better chance to see rare animals like the black rhino, hear the call of the hyena at night, or follow a leopard through the grass. If you’re planning during the dry season, you may even witness part of the wildebeest migration in the central Serengeti or near the Mara River.
You’ll also have time to explore hidden places like the baobab groves of Tarangire National Park, the crater floor of Ngorongoro, and cultural routes near Lake Eyasi.
