Highlights of a 10-Day Tanzania Safari with Mandrill African Safaris

Serengeti National Park Safari

The Serengeti National Park is the crown jewel of Tanzania safaris. Famous for its vast plains and abundant predators, it offers some of the best game viewing in Africa. Expect to see:

• Lions, leopards, and cheetahs

• Massive elephant herds

• Thousands of wildebeest and zebras

• The Great Migration river crossings (July–October)

Our expert guides know the land intimately, ensuring you’re in the right place at the right time.

Ngorongoro Crater Tour

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife havens. This natural amphitheater supports an incredible concentration of animals, including:

• Black rhinos

• Lions and hyenas

• Buffaloes and elephants

• Flamingos along the crater lakes

A full-day game drive here is a highlight of any luxury Tanzania safari.

Tarangire National Park Experience

Often underrated, Tarangire National Park is known for its iconic baobab trees and large elephant populations. During the dry season, wildlife congregates along the Tarangire River, offering excellent viewing opportunities.

Bird lovers will also enjoy over 500 bird species found in this park.

Lake Manyara National Park

Nestled at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, diverse birdlife, and lush groundwater forests. It adds a scenic and ecological contrast to the classic savannah parks.
