7-Day Luxury Northern Safari Escape

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport. Meet your Dastel representative, transfer to your hotel and review the route, park logistics and personal interests with your guide.

Spend the main part of the day exploring Tarangire and its elephant habitats, then continue toward Karatu. An afternoon arrival leaves time to unwind before the highland portion of the safari.

Descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a designated-route game drive across grassland, woodland and wetlands. Wildlife sightings vary, but the landscape is rewarding even without a specific species encounter.

Cross the highlands toward Serengeti National Park, making photo stops at permitted viewpoints and continuing with game viewing where conditions allow. Settle into a camp near the central safari area.

Explore open plains, kopjes and riverine corridors on morning and afternoon drives. The guide uses local sightings and guest preferences to plan time with big cats, herbivores and scenic landscapes.

Begin with early light over the plains, then spend a flexible day around predator-rich habitats and panoramic views. Allow extra time for photographs rather than rushing between sightings.

Enjoy a short final game-drive opportunity when flight timing permits, then transfer to the airstrip for a domestic connection to Arusha or onward routing. Departure logistics depend on flight availability.

No overnight – services end in Arusha.
