Overview

11-Day Tarangire & Serengeti & Lake Eyasi Comfort Private Safari is designed as a longer circuit with several changes of setting, following Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Eyasi. Use it as a private proposal with room to adjust departure times and the daily pace.

Indicative market benchmark: US$5,254–5,918 per person, checked on 26 October 2026 against SafariBookings operator listings. This is a planning reference for a comparable route, not a confirmed Book Safari Tours rate or reserved departure. A dated quotation must confirm accommodation, transport, permits, taxes and inclusions. The meal table follows the researched reference programme; the final quotation confirms the services reserved for your party.

How the journey flows

Tanzania combines several very different safari regions. The northern road circuit connects Tarangire, the crater highlands and the Serengeti; southern and western parks usually need a separate transport plan. A safari beginning on Zanzibar needs real flight connections, not an assumed same-day road transfer.

Check each day alongside its transfers. In particular, allow for pickup times and road or flight connections before counting a full wildlife-viewing day.

Why choose this route

Tarangire

River country and large trees create a recognisable first or last northern-circuit stop. Compare the lodge’s position with the intended game-drive area, especially if you have only one park day.

Lake Manyara

Forest and lakeshore scenery provide a compact contrast to the plains. Choose this stop for its habitat variety; particular wildlife behaviours and lake conditions cannot be promised.

Serengeti

The Serengeti gives a northern Tanzania route its broadest grassland stage. Use the camp’s actual location when comparing drives and transfers; a park-wide name can conceal very different journeys.

Ngorongoro Crater

A crater-floor visit adds a concentrated change of scenery to the northern circuit. Distinguish a crater descent from merely sleeping in the highlands, and have the descent and access charges itemised.

Lake Eyasi

Lake Eyasi adds a cultural and landscape change to a wildlife-focused route. Arrange community visits through a responsible local host and agree on photography and payment before the visit.

Private travel and accommodation choices

A private safari should define what is exclusive to your party. Road transport may be private while a lodge’s activities or a scheduled flight remain shared. Ask for those distinctions in writing, along with the camp names, room categories and exact number of nights at each base.

Accommodation and package scope

The research reference is in the mid-range category. However, it is a starting point for discussion, not a hotel reservation. Then compare the proposed properties by their location, access to activities, room setup and meal plan. A tented camp can offer very different facilities from a basic campsite, even when both appear in the same broad budget search.

Next, request one itemised proposal. It should cover accommodation nights, game drives or guided visits, transfers, park charges, meals and drinking water. However, an activity mentioned as a possibility is not automatically included. Named hotels in third-party research are not evidence of a partnership or available rooms.

Prices, seasons and what can change

The researched USD reference is US$5,254–5,918 per person. Other displayed currencies are indicative conversions using the 2026-10-23 reference rates: USD 1 = EUR 0.89342, GBP 0.74804 and CAD 1.3995. Converted amounts are rounded up to whole currency units and are not exchange-rate guarantees.

Also, room sharing, the travel month, vehicle occupancy, domestic flights and permit availability can all change the final amount. Therefore, ask for the price for your exact party and dates. Include any single supplement, child arrangements and mandatory charges. Finally, check international airfare, entry documents, insurance, tips and optional excursions.

In the Serengeti, choose the camp area for the intended season. A central base, the northern river country and the southern calving plains serve different journeys; no river crossing or predator sighting can be scheduled.

Planning your 11-Day Tarangire & Lake Eyasi Comfort Private

  • Where exactly do pickup and drop-off take place for the Arusha to Zanzibar routing?

Day by day

    Arrival and Tarangire

    Begin the proposed route from Arusha; agree on the pickup point and arrival timing before the programme is finalised. River country and large trees create a recognisable first or last northern-circuit stop. The final proposal should state the transport mode and leave a realistic margin for arrival; a route connection is not an additional full day of wildlife viewing.

    Time in Serengeti

    Use the day in Serengeti without adding another overnight move, with the activity schedule adjusted to the local conditions.
