The Best 7-Day Serengeti Private Safari Tour Package

How Much Does the 7-Day Serengeti Private Safari Cost?

The price of this 7-day Serengeti private safari starts from USD 1,380 per person. Your final price depends mainly on group size, travel dates, accommodation category and availability, pickup and drop-off arrangements, park-fee changes and any optional activities.

A private safari often becomes better value per person when more travelers share the same vehicle. Send us your dates, number of adults and children, preferred accommodation level and arrival details so we can prepare one written quotation showing the exact price and confirmed services.

Who This Private Tanzania Safari Suits

Good fit for travelers who value privacy and flexible stops
Good fit for first-time visitors wanting a broad northern-circuit itinerary
Worth discussing with us first if long road transfers or early starts are difficult
Families should share children’s ages so we can confirm rooming and park conditions

What the Private Safari Experience Is Like

You travel in a safari 4x4 with a pop-up roof and a guide assigned to your booking. Private operation gives your group more control over photography stops and daily pacing, but driving time remains substantial because the northern parks cover a large area.

Lodges and tented camps vary by category and season. Tented camps normally provide proper beds and private facilities, but they remain close to nature; sounds of wildlife and limited connectivity are part of the experience. We confirm the named properties, room type and meal plan before booking.

7-Day Serengeti Private Safari Itinerary

Before Day 1: Arrival in Arusha

We can collect you from Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer you to Arusha for a safari briefing. The airport transfer and pre-safari hotel are included only when listed in your written quotation. Share your flight details early so we can coordinate a realistic arrival plan.

Day 1: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, drive from Arusha to Tarangire for a game drive among baobab woodland and along the Tarangire River. Elephants are often seen, particularly in the dry season, but every game drive is different. Enjoy a picnic lunch and continue to your lodge or tented camp for dinner.

Day 2: Tarangire to Central Serengeti

Travel through the Ngorongoro highlands toward the Serengeti, with lunch en route and an afternoon game drive after entry. The drive is long but introduces the changing landscapes of the northern circuit. Overnight in or near the central Serengeti, subject to the confirmed property.

Day 3: Central Serengeti Game Drives

Explore the Seronera area on morning and afternoon game drives or take a longer full-day drive with a picnic lunch. Your guide selects routes using current wildlife information, road conditions and your interests. Lions, elephants, giraffes and many plains animals may be encountered.

Day 4: Serengeti Wildlife and Seasonal Migration Areas

Spend another day in the Serengeti. The exact area is adapted to the season and the location of wildlife. A northern Serengeti and Mara River focus requires suitable seasonal accommodation and may change the route or price; river crossings are natural events and cannot be scheduled.

Day 5: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Highlands

Take a final game drive as you leave the Serengeti, then travel toward the Ngorongoro highlands. Arrive at your confirmed lodge or camp for dinner and an overnight stay. Departure time is adjusted to park-entry validity, road conditions and the location of your accommodation.

Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater Safari

Descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive across grassland, woodland and wetland habitats. The crater supports a high concentration of resident wildlife. Black rhinos occur here but remain difficult to see, so no sighting can be promised. Continue to the Karatu area after the crater visit.

Day 7: Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

Visit Lake Manyara for a final game drive before returning to Arusha. The park is known for groundwater forest, primates, birdlife and views across the Rift Valley. Flamingo numbers vary with water conditions, and tree-climbing lions are possible rather than guaranteed. We can arrange an airport or hotel drop-off according to your onward plan.

Wildlife and Great Migration Expectations

This safari offers strong year-round wildlife viewing, but the Great Migration is mobile and driven by rainfall and grazing conditions. We plan the Serengeti nights around the best available seasonal information; we do not promise a specific herd position, hunt or river crossing.

If migration viewing is your main priority, tell us your dates before choosing accommodation. Our Great Migration safari information explains how the focus shifts between southern, central, western and northern Serengeti during the year.

Best Time for a 7-Day Serengeti Private Safari

The safari can operate throughout the year. June to October is generally drier with easier road conditions and concentrated dry-season wildlife; November to May brings greener scenery, seasonal rain and excellent birding. Migration timing varies each year.

Period	Typical conditions	Planning point
June–October	Dryer weather and cooler mornings	Book early; northern Serengeti demand can be high
November–December	Short rains and green landscapes	Rain showers can change road conditions
January–March	Warm season; southern plains often important for migration	Use southern or central Serengeti lodging when appropriate
April–May	Long-rain period with fewer visitors	Some camps close and roads may be slower

Safety, Health and Safari Conditions

Your guide manages daily driving, park rules and wildlife-viewing distance, while park authorities control access and operational restrictions. Follow the guide’s instructions, remain inside the vehicle unless you are in an approved area, and never feed wildlife.

Consult a qualified health professional about vaccinations and malaria prevention for your personal circumstances. Comprehensive travel insurance, including medical treatment and evacuation, is strongly recommended but is not included unless stated in writing.

What to Pack for the Safari

Pack light, neutral-colored layers for warm afternoons and cool early mornings. Bring a sun hat, sunscreen, closed shoes, insect repellent, binoculars, camera equipment, personal medicine and copies of essential travel documents. A soft-sided bag is easier to load than a rigid suitcase, especially if a domestic flight is added.
