8 Days in Tanzania Itinerary (Tarangire vs Serengeti Guide)

The 8 Days in Tanzania Itinerary (Including Tarangire vs Serengeti guide). Over the course of eight days in Tanzania, you’ll visit two of Tanzania’s most famous wildlife parks—Tarangire and the Serengeti—and stay in five-star safari lodges each night.

Your African trip starts in a safari camp with a vintage vibe, where you may relax in complete seclusion while enjoying all the modern comforts you could want. You won’t see a soul driving through the 40,000-acre (16,000-hectare) Little Chem Chem area because it is located in an exclusive-use wilderness area next to Tarangire National Park. Animals such as giraffes, elephants, leopards, lions, and cheetah can be spotted on game drives if one keeps one’s eyes open.

We will be continuing our journey to the Serengeti, the most famous safari in Tanzania. An exquisite 8 Days in Tanzania safari resort in Tanzania awaits you after a charter flight takes you to the captivating Mwiba Wildlife Reserve in the Southern Serengeti. The private reserve of Mwiba is home to numerous springs that draw in predators and plains wildlife. Experience the thrill of off-road game drives, bush walks, and spot-lit night drives, in addition to daily game drives in pursuit of the Serengeti’s big cats (lion, leopard, and cheetah).

A Detailed 8 Days in Tanzania Itinerary

Day 1: Welcome to Tanzania! | 1 Nights

Arusha, Tanzania

Your guide will be waiting for you at Kilimanjaro International Airport, and you will be transferred to Legendary Lodge (about 90 minutes) after you touch down. The lodge is encircled by verdant gardens and is on a functioning coffee plantation. Staying at Legendary Lodge is the perfect way to unwind before beginning your exciting safari in Tanzania. Enjoy the tranquilly of your garden cottage as you relax on your private balcony and take in the breathtaking views of Mount Meru, the second-highest mountain in Tanzania.

Day 2-5: Explore Tarangire | 3 Nights

Tarangire, Tanzania

Tanzania’s Best Kept Secret – Tarangire

Enjoy breakfast at Legendary Lodge before a private car whisks you away to the jaw-dropping Tarangire National Park. Located on Tanzania’s Northern Safari Circuit, Tarangire is renowned for its large elephant herds and baobab trees. Located in an exclusive-use concession adjacent to the national park, Little Chem Chem is a modern tented camp where you will spend the next several days. In your large tent, tastefully furnished with antiques like writing tables and telescopes, you may lose yourself in the ambiance of a bygone safari era.

Immerse yourself in a wilderness teeming with wildlife as you cruise around in an open-sided 4×4 vehicle, hoping to spot unique creatures like cheetahs, buffalo, and, if you’re fortunate, rare tree-climbing lions. One further perk of staying in a private concession is the access to exclusive activities like walking safaris led by knowledgeable rangers and spot-lit night wildlife drives.

Day 5-8: Discover the Serengeti | 3 Nights

Serengeti, Tanzania

WILD SERENGETI | Battle for Survival in Predator Territory

The Southern Serengeti’s breathtaking Mwiba Wildlife Reserve is just a short charter flight away from Tarangire. An isolated sanctuary nestled among old acacia trees, Mwiba Lodge is among the best safari lodges in Tanzania. The property sits atop huge granite rocks. Unparalleled views extend from Mwiba Lodge across an untamed region of verdant, verdant vegetation, freshwater springs, and an assortment of wildlife. Welcome to Africa!

With only ten stunning rooms to choose from, Mwiba provides opulent accommodations with private decks, breathtaking vistas, enormous bathtubs, outdoor rain showers, and unbelievably soft beds. Big cats, elephants, and endangered species like wild dogs can all be seen on game drives in the Serengeti. In the months of February and March, you can see the Wildebeest Migration’s calving (birthing) season, which is both a beautiful and sad time for predators. Guided walking safaris, day and night game drives, and genuine cultural encounters with the native Maasai people are the best ways to see Mwiba Wildlife Reserve.

Day 8: Farewell Serengeti

Your next stop will be Kilimanjaro International Airport, so after your last meal in the Serengeti, you’ll take a charter aircraft there.
