Our 8 Day Tanzania Fly-in luxury Safari begins with a flight to Tarangire National park, the least-visited destination on the so-called Northern Safari Circuit (other two are Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National park).
Best known for its elephant herds and tree-climbing lions, Tarangire is home to all the classic African savannah species plus a few unusual ones – such as the long-necked gerenuk – that you won’t see in the Serengeti. It’s home to all the big predators and with 550 species of bird on the tick list, it’s a fabulous destination for bird watchers.
We spend 2 nights at Little Oliver’s camp (sister camp to Oliver’s Camp) located in the remote south-eastern sector of Tanzania’s Tarangire National Park. Little Oliver’s is renowned for its specialized walking safaris.
Enjoy game walks with highly-skilled guides, where you will learn about tracking, flora and fauna. You can opt for a three-day wilderness walking adventure, sleeping out in a lightweight fly camp. Not so keen on walking? Not to worry, there are also day and night game drives to explore the park’s curious creatures and striking landscapes.
After the fun of a walking safari and night drives in Tarangire, you will transfer to one of the most game-filled places in Africa: the Ngorongoro Crater. Your home for the next 2 nights is The Highlands Ngorongoro Camp located in the Ngorongoro Highlands, approximately 40 km north of the Ngorongoro Crater.
In addition to classic safari game drives and hot-lunch picnics in Ngorongoro Crater, you can visit the Masai communities for a cultural experience, take half-day hikes to Empakaai Crater (to see flamingos), Ngorongoro Crater descent and Olmoti nature walks. Animals like buffalo, zebra and bushbuck and the occasional elephant can be seen by hikers.
From Ngorongoro Crater to another world-renowned highlight: Serengeti National Park. Your final three nights are at Dunia Camp, an intimate tented mobile camp perfectly located not only to catch the Wildebeest Migration but also for excellent game viewing in the central and southern Serengeti.
Set near the striking Moru Kopjes and overlooking the wide-open Serengeti plains, the annual Migration passes through the area, attracting the attention of big cats such as lion, leopard and cheetah. The camp’s excellent location near a rhino conservation area means that you are able to view these majestic animals while staying at Dunia.
Dunia camp is the first all-women-run camp in Africa! Enjoy all the thrills of guided half day or full day game drives, hot-air balloon safaris and photographic safaris.

Stop at the viewpoint overlooking the crater to soak in the spectacular landscape and continue your drive around the rim until you reach the Olmoti Crater, where you will stay for the next two nights.

You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch during the heat of the day in a shady spot before driving back to The Highlands, where you can relax a little.
In the late afternoon, a guide will take you to one of the nearby Maasai villages, where you can learn more about this rich culture and take part in their afternoon activities, which often include rounding up cattle into the boma for the night.
