Big 5 Safari

7 Days Safari in Tanzania

This Safari in Tanzania was designed as a quest to see the legendary Big Five! Our 7 Days Big Five Safaris in Tanzania is by far our most unique safari – giving you the best chance of spotting Africa’s most iconic animals. In your pursuit of lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and cape buffalo you’ll travel through Ngorongoro crater – known as the eighth wonder of the world and the world-famous Serengeti National Park. Along the way, you’ll also see enormous herds of wildebeest and zebra, the majestic giraffe, wallowing hippopotamus, lean cheetahs, opportunistic hyenas, playful monkeys, and so much more.
