Your adventure begins in Arusha, the gateway to northern Tanzania’s safari circuit. Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro or Arusha Airport, you’ll be warmly welcomed by your guide and transferred to a comfortable lodge. Here, you can relax, enjoy a delicious welcome dinner, and prepare for the journey ahead. The anticipation builds as you soak in the sights and sounds of Tanzania, a land where adventure waits around every corner.
The first stop on your safari is Tarangire National Park, famous for its towering baobab trees, vast elephant herds, and serene river landscapes. Spending two nights in Tarangire allows you to explore the park at a relaxed pace. Morning and afternoon game drives give you the chance to spot lions, giraffes, zebras, and countless other species, while the golden sunsets over the savannah provide picture-perfect moments. For those seeking an extra thrill, optional experiences include a night game drive, where the park comes alive with nocturnal wildlife, or a hot air balloon safari, offering a magical bird’s-eye view of the Tarangire plains. Balloon safaris are also available in the Serengeti later in the trip, giving you flexibility to choose when to take flight.
After immersing yourself in Tarangire, your journey continues to the legendary Serengeti National Park, home to the Great Wildebeest Migration. Over two days, explore the sweeping plains that teem with predators and migrating herds. Witness lions hunting, cheetahs sprinting with incredible agility, and massive herds of wildebeest and zebra moving across the horizon a spectacle of raw nature that will leave you breathless. For a truly unforgettable perspective, consider a sunrise hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti, followed by a champagne breakfast in the wild.
Next, venture to the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most famous natural wonders. Descend into its crater floor to encounter the Big Five lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos while enjoying a picnic lunch in a breathtaking landscape framed by towering crater walls. It’s an experience that combines the thrill of wildlife with the majesty of one of the world’s most remarkable geological formations.
On your final day, journey back to Arusha, taking in the stunning scenery along the way. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time to visit a local Maasai village, explore vibrant markets, or stop at a coffee plantation before being transferred to the airport. By the time you leave, you’ll carry with you memories of majestic wildlife, unforgettable landscapes, and the magic of Tanzania’s wild heart.

EXCELLENT Based on 125 reviews Posted on Lisa J28 February 2026Verified Begeistertert! Wir haben im Februar eine einwöchige Safari mit Bensons gemacht und sind hoch zufrieden! Die Safari hat all unsere Erwartungen übertroffen, wir haben alle dort vorkommenden größeren Tierarten gesehen und viel über die Tiere, die Natur und deren Schutz in den Nationalparks gelernt. Dabei geht ein großes Dankeschön an Simba, unseren hervorragenden Guide! Er wusste unglaublich viel und hat all unsere vielen Fragen geduldig und mit viel Hintergrundwissen und Erfahrung beantwortet. Auch die Lodges waren ausnahmslos super, mitten drin in der Natur, alle mit wlan, Heißwasser, Moskitonetzen in Mückengebieten und bequemen Betten. Das Personal war sehr bemüht und meist gab es abwechslungsreiche Buffets. Unsere Tour beinhaltete die Nationalparks Tarangire, Ndutu, offene Serengeti und den Ngorongoro-Krater. Alles sehr zu empfehlen, Bensons hat uns eine super Route zusammengestellt und all unsere Wünsche möglich gemacht. Ganz vielen Dank, wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!!
