The Ultimate 8 Days Tanzania Safari from Arusha
Our 8-day Tanzania safari from Arusha is the epitome of in-depth exploration, offering adventure-seekers an extended journey through Tanzania’s most celebrated parks and hidden gems. This immersive 8 Days Tanzania Safari itinerary typically begins with a scenic drive to Arusha National Park, a lesser-known treasure where black-and-white colobus monkeys leap through the canopy and Mount Meru looms in the background. Next, you will venture to Tarangire National Park, famed for its lush river valleys, impressive elephant gatherings, and ancient baobabs.
The journey continues to Lake Manyara National Park, where vibrant flamingos, elusive leopards, and hippo pods fill the lakeshore, before heading to the vast plains of the Serengeti. Here, you’ll have ample time to witness endless herds, dramatic predator action, and, with luck, the seasonal Great Migration. Unlike shorter safaris, this itinerary allows for deep exploration of the Serengeti’s different regions—perhaps including both the central Seronera area and the remote northern or southern corners, depending on the time of year.
A full day in the Ngorongoro Crater offers a chance to see an astonishing concentration of wildlife, from grazing wildebeest to prowling lions and the rare black rhino. Many 8-day safaris also include a detour to Lake Eyasi, where you’ll spend time with the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, learning ancient bushcraft and traditional metalworking. Some routes even feature a finale at Lake Natron, home to surreal landscapes, waterfalls, and thousands of flamingos, culminating your journey with one of Tanzania’s most unique and photogenic settings.
