The classic Tanzania safari week. The Ngorongoro Crater paired with extended time in the Serengeti, Tanzania's two most iconic destinations. Along the way: a bicycle tour through Mto wa Mbu village and its banana plantations, the Olduvai Gorge museum where the Leakeys excavated 1.8 million year old hominid fossils, and a Maasai village visit. The safari ends with a domestic flight from the Serengeti back to Arusha, saving you a full day of driving. The game drives, guide, and vehicle are identical between Mid-Range and Luxury. The difference is where you sleep.

We saw amazing things in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti. Joseph and the team made everything easy, even when we changed our plans. Our guides Julius and Emmanuel were fantastic.
