7 Days Tanzania Safari Overview
This 7-day Northern Tanzania safari combines four exceptional destinations into one comprehensive wildlife adventure. During this safari you will explore the following wildlife destinations:
· Tarangire National Park: It is a park which is famous for elephants, baobab trees and large herds of wildlife.
· Lake Manyara National Park: It is well known for its diverse landscapes, birdlife and tree-climbing lions.
· Serengeti National Park: It is one of Africa’s greatest wildlife destinations and home to the Great Migration.
· Ngorongoro Crater: It is a spectacular natural wildlife sanctuary with exceptional concentration of animals.
Why Choose a 7-Day Tanzania Safari?
A 7-day Tanzania safari gives you considerably more time to experience Tanzania than a short two- or three-day trip. Because, instead of visiting one or two parks quickly, you can combine several of the Northern Circuit’s most important destinations while allowing enough time for game drives.
One of the biggest advantages is time in the Serengeti. The park is enormous, and spending two nights or more allows you to explore different areas and enjoy more opportunities for wildlife encounters. The itinerary also combines different environments. You will see the dramatic baobab landscapes of Tarangire, the varied habitats of Lake Manyara, the open plains of Serengeti and the unique ecosystem of Ngorongoro.

Best Time for a 7 Days Tanzania Safari
Normally, Tanzania is a year-round safari destination, but the best time depends on your personal interests meaning it depends on what you want to experience. The following are the seasons and their experiences:
· June to October: The season is generally popular for wildlife viewing because vegetation is often thinner and animals tend to gather around water sources.
· January to March: This can be an excellent period for experiencing the calving season in the Serengeti, depending on the location of the herds.
· November to December: This season offers greener scenery and fewer visitors in some areas.
The Great Migration is a year-round cycle rather than a single event. The location of the herds changes throughout the year, so we can plan your itinerary around your travel dates and the areas you want to visit.
