The ideal duration for a safari in Tanzania varies based on personal preferences and chosen destinations. For a classic Northern Circuit safari covering Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire, a minimum of 5 to 7 days is recommended to fully appreciate the diverse landscapes and wildlife. If you aim to include Southern Circuit destinations like Selous or Ruaha, extending your safari to 10 days or more is advisable for a more comprehensive experience. For a specific focus, such as chimpanzee trekking at Mahale Mountains or exploring the remote Katavi National Park, an additional 3 to 5 days may be required. Ultimately, the duration depends on your interests, chosen parks, and the depth of immersion you seek in Tanzania’s rich safari offerings.
