8 Day North Tanzania Safari Tours

An 8-day northern Tanzania safari offers one of the most complete wildlife experiences possible without feeling rushed. With eight days, you can explore Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and multiple regions of the Serengeti — from the central plains to either the north (for the river crossings) or the south (for the calving season).

Compared to a 6- or 7-day safari, the extra day allows for deeper immersion inside the Serengeti, often with three to four nights in different zones. This extra time makes all the difference: more early-morning drives, more unhurried time near predators, and greater flexibility to follow animal movements or spend time observing specific behaviors — from lion hunts to cheetahs sprinting across the savannah.

It’s the ideal duration for travelers who want both the full northern circuit and the freedom to linger — whether that means spending longer at a wildebeest crossing, photographing elephants against Tarangire’s baobabs, or simply enjoying the rhythm of safari life without long daily drives.
