Our safari itinerary SIMBA includes the four most important national parks in northern Tanzania: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. This itinerary can be easily completed within a week and, as on all our safaris, offers you your own private driver/guide (English/German/Spanish/French/Italian-speaking if desired). SIMBA is designed as a loop which, after visiting the two national parks Tarangire and Lake Manyara, is highlighted by the famous Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. After these seven nights you return to Arusha and start your journey home.
All safari suggestions can of course be individually adapted or changed to your wishes - you have full flexibility in your travel planning with ITST!
There are several daily flight connections from around the world to Tanzania. Arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport. From the airport, your private driver/guide, who is already waiting for you, will take you to your lodge, 45 minutes from the airport. Depending on your arrival time, you still have time today to visit the nearby rainforest or a coffee farm.

Middle class: Serengeti Kuhama Tented Camp

06:30 We recommend a game drive at sunrise. Getting up early is worth it, as the chance of seeing lions or other predators feeding on what was killed during the night is greatest in the morning. In addition, in the morning the light of sunrise offers you a unique atmosphere over the savannah. For breakfast you drive back to the camp to then go on an extensive game drive all day. Your driver/guide will take you to the most interesting areas of the national park.
