This 7-day Tanzania safari takes you to some of the country’s best destinations for wildlife sightings: From the shores of Lake Manyara to the baobab trees and elephants of Tarangire, from the world-famous Serengeti to the iconic Ngorongoro Crater.
In a small and personal group of no more than seven travelers, your experienced guide will share his knowledge about flora, fauna, and local life with you. You can step out of the car and get an insight into one of Tanzania’s most essential industries on a walk around a coffee plantation in Karatu.
You will overnight at small and personal accommodations, enjoying proximity to the natural world around you.
Distance approx. 150 km; driving time approx. 2-3 hours. After a morning safari briefing, you will take a two-hour drive from Arusha and arrive at the Tarangire National Park. The park offers a stunning natural setting with lush bush savannahs, seasonal marshes, and magnificent baobab trees. It is renowned as one of the best places to witness elephants up close. Additionally, the park is home to zebras, buffaloes, and many migratory wildebeests, continually followed by predators such as lions. Leopards are rarely spotted, while cheetahs are rarely seen. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you can enjoy the stunning landscape and observe the wildlife. You will drive to Lake Burunge Tented Lodge in the late afternoon to spend the night.
Distance approx. 100 km; driving time approx. 1-2 hours Once you finish your breakfast, you will go on a journey from the Tarangire Area to the Lake Manyara National Park. This park is famous for its unique wildlife, including over 400 species of birds, primates that reside in the forests, and animals such as giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, and impalas, as well as noisy monkeys and baboons. The park's alkaline Lake Manyara is also a sight to behold, as it serves as the seasonal breeding ground for large colonies of flamingos and many more waterfowl that cover a vast area of the park. After a thrilling game drive, you will spend the night at Kirurumu Manyara Lodge. You will have breakfast, lunch, and dinner during your stay.
Distance approx. 200 km; driving time approx. 4-6 hours After breakfast, you will travel through the cooler highlands towards the southern Serengeti. Around midday, you will arrive at Serengeti National Park, Tanzania's largest park. The park boasts diverse habitats, including short grass plains, savannah, thick bush, swamps, and lakes. The grassy landscape is dotted with bizarre rock formations called kopjes, which predators often frequent. The Serengeti National Park is renowned for its annual wildebeest migration, during which hundreds of thousands of wildebeests and zebras journey to locate fresh water and grass. During your stay at the Kati Kati Tented Camp in the park, you will enjoy three meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Game drives The whole day will be spent viewing games in Serengeti National Park. The specific areas you will visit will depend on the location of the migrating herds. Predators such as lions, leopards (usually found in acacia trees), and cheetahs closely follow these herds. Between November and December, the herds migrate from the north hills to the south plains during the rainy season. The wildebeest migration up north occurs during the rainy season, from April to June. As the migration depends solely on the yearly rainfall, the location of the herds may vary from year to year. However, your guide will be well-informed on where to locate the animals and where you can observe them best. Your overnight stay will be at the Kati Kati Tented Camp. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided.
Distance approx. 170 km; driving time approx. 4-6 hours You will enjoy more game viewing during your journey towards the park gate. You will depart from Serengeti National Park to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the early afternoon. Once you reach the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater, you will be mesmerized by the breathtaking view of the giant caldera below. Afterward, you will leave the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and head towards Karatu, located in the Ngorongoro highlands. During your stay, you will take a guided walk through the coffee plantation to learn about the cultivation and processing of coffee. Finally, you will spend the night at one of the three Tanganyika Wilderness Adventure Lodges, all of which are beautifully located. You will be served breakfast, lunch, and dinner during your stay.
Distance approx. 50 km; driving time approx. 1-2 hours Good morning! After having breakfast at daybreak, you'll head back to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before descending into the crater. This volcanic region is the natural habitat of over 25,000 wild animals, including the Big Five (lion, buffalo, elephant, rhino, and leopard), hyenas, wild dogs, and hundreds of bird species. You'll enjoy an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch before departing the caldera in the afternoon and returning to your Tanganyika Wilderness Adventure Lodge for another night. The meals provided during this trip are breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Distance approx. 160 km; driving time approx. 2-3 hours After a relaxing breakfast, you will be chauffeured back to Arusha, arriving around noon. You will be dropped off in the city center or at the airport.
ExcellentBased on 52 reviewsLena W2023-10-26Best driver you can get My experience with King Solomon was great! He organized the whole trip, so that I don't had to worry about anything. With a massive and outstanding knowledge about the animals and wildness he drove me through the parks. Especially in the Serengeti he managed the impossible: He found baby cheetahs! I saw the big five (okay, rhinos a bit far away), but about thirty to forty lions, a bunch of leopards and cheetahs and of course a lot of more common animals. With all he was very flexible and able to take my wishes into the plans. I can highly recommend the tour with Tangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Also a walking safari was included and very informative and nice. If you are looking for a driver and unsure where your money is well invested: here. I can highly recommend him.Ay J2023-05-12Best driver and Guide ever King Solomon is the king of the Safari for sure but also the best driver ! You feel confortable being almost all day in the car. He is very good to spot the animals and he will do his best to not miss any. Everything was well organized, the food is great. In our last day in Arusha our flight was delayed and he took care of us showing us around before dropping us at the airport. I fully recommend him for any person who wants to have the best safari ever in Tanzania.mourad2023-02-19amazing safari salut à tous, je viens de france et je ne connaissais pas kingsalomon s'est en cherchant sur le Web que je suis tombé sur sa page , tout de suite le contenu et les commentaires nous ont facilité dans notre choix.Puis nous avons pris en contact avec salomon et le courant est bien passé, il nous a fait un prix raisonnable pour une famille de 5.Ensuite lorsque nous avons été en tanzanie nous avons eut des souci de vol , salomon et venu nous chercher malgré 5h de retard pour nous déposé à notre hôtel. Concernant le safari,ce fut magnifique nous en avons pris plein les yeux, car en plus de la visite du parc nous avions un guide qui parlais français plus simple pour les explications.De plus salomon nous a mis dans des lodges sans rien rajouter car à la base nous devions dormir dans des tentes, merci à vous salomon. Pour conclure je recommande kingsalomon pour son professionnalisme, sa générosité, son accueil et son humanisme.חן ז2023-02-14Best safari tour guy in Tanzania Hey, I’m Hen from Israel and I was looking a lot for a tour guy that will be good and that I can trust him.

I found out that he’s the best tour guy I could have asked for, he’s very nice very responsible and the most important he’s the most professional tour guy there’s, he can find everything and everywhere, never get lost and always takes care for us. I’m glad I made this decision and for sure highly recommending about him. If you are looking for the best safari experience King Solomon is the guy! Looking forward for our next experience with him!Tomer M2023-02-14If you look for the best tour guy than he’s here… I’ll start by saying, if you think about him, choose him! Solomon is the best driver we could have found and the best tour guy in Tanzania! He knows everything about everywhere and every animal, he will do anything to find you all the best location and rare animals, he can find animals hiding in the bushes with his bare eyes where I barely could’ve found them with the binuclear And the most important he knows every route and never get lost (which some other tour guys are getting lost sometimes). We had the best experience with him and I’m highly recommending about him, you will have the best safari experience that can be! Go King Solomon!iamkeith182023-02-04Such good company. Felt like we had the most knowledgeable guide We spent 6 days with King Solomon, who was friendly and good company. It’s clear that he is well connected with the parks and other guides which meant that he often knew what had been seen recently and where. His knowledge of the parks is fantastic and he has a super-human eye for spotting things you otherwise would miss. We had a great time and found King Solomon to be really funny and knowledgable. Would definitely highly recommend.Foued BH2023-01-14Unique experience with an unique guide Our safari was amazing with king Solomon as a guide. he is very professional, he can find all the animals in the savannah. we loved his company!! thank you King we are a fan of you and the experience you made us liveJazlyn H2023-01-02Amazing 5 stars Solomon was excellent at spotting animals that weren't visible to the naked eye. He found a black and white colobus money high us in the trees and a Jaguar. Solomon is a great guide with lots of stories to tell. He is extremely knowledgeable and has had over a decade years of experience. I highly recommend booking through Solomon as his attention to detail will ensure your trip is a cut above the rest. Meals were provided on the trip in hampers every day for the 3 days that we went which was excellent. There were also facilities around the park to occasionally stop for a toilet break. Overall I will be coming back to Tanzania and booking through Solomon again. He also offers hot air balloon rides over the Serengeti which I am keen to do next time.Hanen2023-01-01It was A wonderful experience The best safari guide ever I recommend 100% It was a wonderful experience Thanks to king solomone, the safari was top top topTomasz M2022-03-20Amazing safari! Solomon is a great, professional safari guide who knows exactly when and where to go to give you the best possible safari experience. Moreover he's a very good driver, with whom you feel safe, and a super friendly person. We had great time and we saw a lot of animals thanks to Solomon's "eagle eye" and big experience. The whole safari was very well organized, we didn't need to worry about anything from the moment when Solomon picked us up at the airport in Kilimanjaro to the moment when he left us at the Seronera Airstrip 5 days later. I enjoyed every minute of it. The hotels, which he chose for us, were amazing (one in a coffee plantation and the other one in the middle of Serengeti - wow!). The food that he provided us with was very good and more than we could eat. Overall the whole experience was awesome and worth every penny!
King Solomon Safaris offers a variety of experiences, including wildlife safaris, mountain trekking, beach holidays, walking safaris, biking adventures, and town tours, to truly experience the culture and history of Tanzania.
