A captivating journey into the heart of Tanzania’s wild soul, this 8-day classic migration safari takes you from the vibrant energy of Arusha to the legendary plains of the Serengeti and into the secluded wilderness of Ruaha National Park. Designed for those who crave dramatic wildlife encounters, wide open skies, and a blend of iconic and off-the-beaten-path experiences — all with a private guide, top-tier lodges, and seamless luxury throughout.
Begin your journey in the foothills of Mount Meru. Arusha is a lively city often dubbed the safari capital of East Africa. You’ll enjoy a restful night at a serene lodge, unwind in lush gardens, or explore cultural landmarks like the Museum of Natural History or the Maasai Market.
Recommended Stay: Arusha Coffee Lodge or Lemala Hamerkop House
Fly to the Serengeti and dive straight into one of the world’s most dramatic wildlife stages. Whether timed with the migration or not, the Serengeti delivers powerful sightings year-round: lion prides in golden grasslands, cheetahs scanning the horizon, and elephants roaming riverbanks.
