Day 1: Arrival in Arusha – Lake Manyara
Welcome to Tanzania!
Upon arrival in Arusha, you will be warmly welcomed by your driver and French-speaking safari guide. Following a transfer, we will take you to Lake Manyara, a true haven for birds and the perfect starting point for your safari adventure.

Crater Safari: This crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the places where the probability of spotting the Big Five—lion, elephant, black rhinoceros, buffalo, and leopard—is highest. A complete immersion in the stunning natural environment of this caldera.
Days 3 / 4 / 5 / 6: Serengeti National Park
Next stop: the Serengeti, famous for its spectacular migrations and dense wildlife.
You will spend 4 nights in 2 exclusive lodges, located in private concessions, away from the crowds, in areas where wildlife is particularly dense.
You will enjoy daily safaris in a 4x4 vehicle to observe large predators, gazelles and, of course, the migrations of wildebeest and zebras, which cross the savannah in search of fresh pastures.
You will be accommodated in high-end chalets, offering breathtaking views of the savannah, unparalleled comfort and impeccable service.
Day 7/8: Tarangire National Park
After these intense days of safari in the Serengeti, we headed to Tarangire, another Tanzanian national park, known for its incredible concentration of elephants.
You will discover abundant wildlife: elephants, lions, giraffes, impalas and a myriad of birds.
The migration season is a spectacle not to be missed, when hundreds of animals come together around rivers and baobab trees.
You will stay in an exclusive lodge overlooking the surrounding plains.
Days 9/10: Ruaha National Park

You will be accommodated in picturesque lodges, located in remote areas in the heart of the park, offering a stay experience totally integrated with the wilderness.

Tanzania from north to south in 13 days: from the Serengeti to secret reserves
This 13-day itinerary is the most ambitious that Fundis'Africa offers in Tanzania. It combines the classic northern circuit with the secluded reserves of the south, rarely offered by French agencies.
The Serengeti and the Ngorongoro
The first part of the route covers the iconic parks of northern Tanzania: the Serengeti for its scale and the great migration, and the Ngorongoro for the unique concentration of animals in its caldera.
Ruaha National Park
Ruaha is Tanzania's largest national park, covering 20,000 km². It is also one of the least visited, making it a prime destination for travelers seeking exclusivity. Its wildlife is exceptionally rich: the largest lion population in Tanzania, numerous elephants, African wild dogs, kudu, and oryx, species not found in the northern parks. The absence of mass tourism gives Ruaha an authentic bush atmosphere.
The Selous Reserve
The Selous Game Reserve (renamed Nyerere National Park) is one of the largest and least visited nature reserves in Africa. Boat safaris on the Rufiji River, among hippos and crocodiles, and drives through little-explored riparian ecosystems make Selous a truly unforgettable end to a tour.
