7-Day Classic Northern Safari
Tarangire, Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro in a considered road circuit. Two Serengeti nights give you a full wildlife day, while the crater visit stays separate from the long return transfer.
Your time together
The proposed programme
The team confirms the exact services and any changes in your written offer. Weather, park access and guide decisions can affect the daily plan.
01Arrival in Tanzania
Meet your Boker Adventures representative at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and transfer to your hotel. Rest after your flight; no safari or cultural visit is scheduled today. Your briefing covers the route, daily timings, meals, medical or mobility needs, wildlife etiquette and any booked extras. Late arrivals receive their briefing the following morning.
02Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, travel to Tarangire for a game drive among baobabs, woodland and river habitats. Look for elephants, giraffes, antelope and birds, with a picnic lunch at a designated site. Your guide adjusts the route to wildlife and conditions. Leave with enough time to reach your Karatu lodge for dinner; this is a safari-and-transfer day.
03Journey to Central Serengeti
Travel through the Ngorongoro highlands and onward to Central Serengeti with a packed lunch and comfort stops. There is no crater descent today. Once inside Serengeti, enjoy wildlife viewing along the permitted route to camp as time allows. Settle in before dinner; the priority is a comfortable arrival rather than a late extra game drive.
04A full day in Central Serengeti
Explore the Seronera region with your guide, pausing to watch animal behaviour around plains, kopjes and river corridors. Choose a picnic outing or morning and afternoon drives with a camp break when distances allow. A pre-booked sunrise balloon safari can replace the early game drive. Return to the same camp for dinner.
05Serengeti to the Karatu highlands
After breakfast, leave Central Serengeti with selected wildlife stops along the exit route. Continue through the conservation area with a packed lunch and reach Karatu for a relaxed evening. No crater descent is added to this transfer day. Keep the afternoon flexible if rough roads or gate formalities slow the journey.
06Ngorongoro Crater safari
Leave early for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the crater after formalities. Explore grassland, wetland and other habitats, looking for the resident wildlife; a rhino or predator sighting is a possibility, never a promise. Enjoy a picnic lunch and return to your Karatu lodge after the permitted crater session. The same lodge awaits tonight.
07Return to Arusha and departure
After breakfast, return to Arusha with lunch arranged en route or in town. Continue to JRO for a flight whose timing Boker has checked before booking, or finish at an Arusha hotel. No game drive is scheduled. An early flight requires a separately quoted additional night or a revised itinerary.
Meeting the group
Meet in Arusha on the first day for arrival arrangements and your trip briefing.

Before you book
A pre-planned group departure. Register interest while we arrange the group, suppliers and final quote.
Group rates are confirmed separately. Private-party brochure estimates are not group-joining prices.
Registration records your interest or request. It does not reserve a paid place. The team prepares your party’s offer; an offered place is held for up to 48 hours. Accept it and complete the agreed booking steps within that hold. Booking confirmation follows the team’s checks.
If the group does not form, the team will discuss a different date, a revised group price or a private trip before you commit.
Pay only through verified Boker invoice instructions. Cancellation and any refund depend on the terms in your accepted offer.
