Big Five Luxury Safari in Tanzania
Experience the biggest stars of the East African savanna. The mighty Lion, the majestic Elephant, the rare and powerful Black Rhino, the graceful Leopard, and the stoic Cape Buffalo. There is no better way of experiencing a classic Safari adventure.
This safari includes the most popular parks in the Northern Circuit. View the animals and fantastic landscapes in a 4×4 safari vehicle with open rooftops for you to get the ultimate safari experience. This is a small group safari with a maximum of 6 travelers per vehicle, all with window seats. The safari lasts 7 days and includes meals, accommodation, park fees, and visits to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. This is our best-selling trip, but be sure to check out the amazing wildebeest migration between January to March, or why not our Cheetah Adventure Safari. If you would like the Big Five Luxury travel plan upgraded, we recommend you look at the Leopard Luxury Safari travel plan.
