Dust kicks up along the rutted track as the sun lifts over acacia skyline — the Serengeti stretches out, flat and vast, guiding a tide of wildebeest toward the next river. This seven-day private safari out of Arusha follows that pulse: Lake Manyara’s soda flats, the open sweep of the Serengeti plains, the crater’s amphitheater of wildlife, and Tarangire’s baobab-framed riverbanks.
