Discover Tanzania’s epic East Africa safari triptych: Serengeti National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater.

The Serengeti never fails to deliver a world-class wildlife spectacle. Time it right, and you’ll witness one of nature’s greatest wonders: the Great Migration. Fly over the shifting terrain for a sense of the park’s vast scale, spotting antelope and gazelle as they move across the savannah below.

At Lake Manyara – one of Tanzania’s smaller, more intimate parks – admire the dramatic western escarpment of the Great Rift Valley and the alkaline Lake Manyara, famous for its vibrant flamingos.

Then there’s the World Heritage-listed Ngorongoro Crater: a natural amphitheatre formed by a collapsed volcano over two million years ago. Descend into this striking cauldron with your guide to track around 50 species of large mammal, from lion and leopard to hippo and elephant.
