8 Days Tanzania Classic Tours
It may sound like a bold statement to call this Tanzania’s finest luxury safari — but after experiencing it, you’ll understand why. From a peaceful night nestled among the coffee trees in Arusha, to two unforgettable nights at an opulent lodge perched on the Ngorongoro Crater rim, followed by four nights in a superb Kantabile property in the Serengeti — we truly believe this is as good as it gets.
Overview:
Embark on the 8-Day Tanzania Classic Safari, a journey crafted to showcase the pinnacle of safari luxury.
Marvel at Tanzania’s breathtaking scenery and explore exclusive corners of the Serengeti.
This itinerary is perfectly timed for witnessing the Great Migration between May and late July.

All the while, relax in style as you watch Africa’s giants roam past your luxurious retreat.
Your 7-night adventure begins at the charming Arusha Coffee Lodge, surrounded by lush gardens in Arusha. After unwinding by the pool or indulging in a spa treatment, you’ll head to the Ngorongoro Crater for a stay at the beautifully located Entamanu Ngorongoro, offering sweeping views over one of Africa’s natural wonders.
From there, journey onward to the Serengeti, where you’ll be hosted at the ultra-luxurious Cherero Camp in the wildlife-rich Grumeti region.
