7 Days PRIVATE Best of Tanzania Safari *Departing everyday*
Africa rewards patience. This private seven-day safari gives you a strong first look at Tanzania, with a qualified guide, a 4×4 vehicle with a viewing roof, and visits to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire. I like the small maximum of six people, and I like that airport transfers and accommodation before and after the safari are included. The main drawback is the packed schedule: several days involve eight to ten hours on the road, so this is not a restful holiday.
I also like the mix beyond game drives. You get a Maasai village or Olduvai Gorge option, a guided walk in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and a cultural visit to Mto wa Mbu with food, farming, craft, and market stops. At $2,597 per person, the price looks fair for a private safari with park fees, five dinners, seven breakfasts, five lunches, lodging, and transfers, but you should confirm the exact hotels and pickup airport before paying.
